"If a low-level judge has more power to take a life than the president and governor have to save a life, we have no constitutional rights. The judges are now the supreme branch of government."

Agreed. THIS is where we should be directing our outrage.

Those who live will vote for life.
The dead will vote for death.

Wow, what a profound thing to say. I'll remember that for a long time.

When I heard that President Bush, and Jeb Bush were going to be making statements about Terri's death, my response was that I really wasn't interested in any useless platitudes from either of them.

Maybe you should check his oath of office.

To defend and uphold the Constitution? Well, of course, that means bowing at all times to the supreme branch of government, and the least accountable, the judiciary.

I disagree and that's all I'm going to say.

In other words, you have no response.

I, and others, have been pointing Governor Bush to his duty for over a month. Dr. Keyes camped on his doorstep for days with this information, but Jeb refused to see him. Jesse Jackson? Sure. Alan Keyes, bearing the brief he claimed to want? No way...

Those are the sad facts.

I hope all these people saying they'll never vote for a Republican again enjoy President Hillary

They probably never voted Republican, just liberal malcontents stirring up trouble, IMO.

Have you ever seen so many idiots in your life!

Yes, in every immigration thread.

Don't you love how it is a collective "we" that did this. Like being in a hospital and having a nurse say "we" have to get our shot now.

Just useless emotion. They can't think straight so they just spout out whatever broken thoughts pass through their impaired brains.

The ones that get me are those who say we're all Nazis and the U.S. is as evil as Nazi Germany. They obviously have no clue as to what the Nazis really were. Instead, just like the left, they throw out the "You are a Nazi" crap whenever someone doesn't agree with them.

If a low-level judge has more power to take a life than the president and governor have to save a life, we have no constitutional rights. The judges are now the supreme branch of government.

You are exactly right. I don't know about the Florida state constitution, but if it's anything like the U.S. Constitution, the Executive branch has the enforcement power. In Andrew Jackson's day, the courts passed some law (I forget the details) that Jackson didn't want. He said, "great, they've had their say, now let them enforce it." If Florida's constitution is made up the same way, Jeb Bush should have just called the police and said, "stand down". I'm not sure Pres. Bush had the authority (states rights isssues), but I do believe Gov. Bush probably did. It's time people understand that the executive branch is the enforcer of laws, not the judicial branch. If the judiciary didn't like Gov. Bush's non-enforcement of their order, they could appeal to the legislative branch for impeachment, with 2/3's majority needed. Again, assuming the Florida constitution is like the U.S. Constitution. Somebody please tell me if I'm wrong.

As predicted, he had nothing to say. He's had - what - two weeks to prepare a statement on this?

You can all fling around names, but even in political terms, to disappear on such a powerful pro-life issue - an issue very dear to the hearts of the people that put him over the top in this past election - damages our chances in 2006.

Sorry. Why should I expect W to stand his ground on upcoming Supreme Court nominees? He let a tinhorn judge in Florida be the arbiter of life and death on his watch.

I'm a longtime FReeper. Even before my incarnation as "Rutles4Ever". I'm no troll. But this will be in the heart and minds of swing Catholics in future elections.

Good idea! I'll be back later with some Pine-Sol to clean up the floors.

A Prime Time speech on the death of Terri Schiavo would be the worst possible thing W could do.

But it's the perfect opportunity to make a pitch for issuing more visas to low-wage hospice workers. Those are jobs that most Americans don't want to do, you know.
