President Bush will make remarks on the death of Terri Schindler (Schiavo) at 11:40 am EST.

[Rutles4Ever]

The ones on here who are blaming the Bush Brothers are the same ones who reside at du or moveon. They are just trying to stir our nest.

No, we just expect our elected officials to be leaders. W was elected with the indispensible votes of Pro-Life conservatives and conservative Catholics. The silence coming from the White House is deafening, and those who voted because of that issue have a right to be disturbed.

It's a lot more DU'esque to gang up on those who disagree.

[FreedomCalls]

Who cares what he has to say about this MURDER that he helped commit.

Are you sure you are on the right board? I expect the people who blame Bush for EVERY thing that happens in the world to be posting over at DU or Indymedia. It's a running joke here whenever there's a news story with bad news, we say "It's Bush's fault." It's because there are plenty of people on the left who are so blinded by their hatred of the President that they literally blame everything bad on him. Are you one of those?

This speech today was not for Terri -- it was scheduled to release the Report on Intelligence. This was not a hastily called for the President to make remarks on Terri.

Even more, Auschwitz was in the Russian sector of war. Under no circumstances would Stalin had allowed such an action. I'm doubtful that any Allied aircraft would have had the range to hit Auschwitz, anyway.

Not from England, but from bases in France or especially Italy, they probably could.

However Auschwitz was not the only death camp, just the most famous. Others were in Germany itself.

[Rutles4Ever]

Outstanding statement by Delay.

[k2blader]

I'm with you, hosepipe. This whole situation reeks. I'm sickened at our nation's "leadership".

[Rutles4Ever]

So he couldn't spare two minutes? He's had two weeks to collect his thoughts on this.

[JFC]

I am sorry but I do not agree with you.

I'm sure that if either President W or Gov Jeb forced the release of Terri, it would have become a shooting war. Possibly at the cost of their own careers (and they both have a ways to go), these brothers avoided a "Fort Sumter" and another American Civil War.

Some historians try to theorize the end of slavery in America if there hadn't been a fight over it. Perhaps it would have ended the way Roman slavery waned, but even Roman slaves rebelled against their masters.

The culture of death will implode very rapidly. Euthanasia has been sweeping their ranks from outright firearms suicide to hospital/doctor assisted murder. They've only now been successful, after ten years of attempts, to murder one conservative (Catholic) woman.

This publicly murdered victim is an effort to breed apostasy in conservative ranks and the religious pews. It may remove some, but even in the short run it won't work. Paralleled events are repeating too quickly for us to forget what's already happened in memorable history.

[EternalVigilance]

Y'all keep talking about the 'rule of law' in defending our leaders' inaction...while ignoring the fact that the constitution is THE law. Your 'reasoning' is identical the the lawyers who have efectively negated the rule of law.

Even if the Air Corps could have reached Auschwitz from a base in far northern Italy, they would have still had to fly through Soviet occupied air space to bomb the camp. Even if the Soviets allowed this (not a chance), such a raid would have accomplished nothing.

[JFC]

Outstanding statement by Delay.


What did he say?

[LauraJean]

God bless your family. I know they are in heaven right now greeting Terri as I write.

[DC Bound]

He [President Bush] should about have all his guns in position waiting to fire. The Schiavo Murder may be just the Casus Belli he needs to declare war on the deathrat fillibusterers.

If he was going to do anything about judges, he would have done so at any point over the last five years, particularly when Greer flipped him and the Congress the bird. If he believed he had no authority, he is already defeated. If he calculated to let her die before taking action, he is a bastard. But--the more likely option--he doesn't want to take on the courts. He wants to appoint a few before he goes, and leave the cesspool for someone else to clean up. There is a revolutionary line many of us have crossed: we want a knock-down drag-out fight to fix the judiciary. President Bush hasn't crossed that line yet, and if this wasn't enough, nothing will be.

[Rutles4Ever]

For the spiritual person, if the law is immoral, it is not to be followed.

A Catholic would not be allowed to assist in facilitating this murder, under pain of mortal sin. Jeb could have defied the law in good conscience and excellent standing with God.

[Gelato]

The three branches of government are duty-bound to follow the Constitution in their sphere of power.

If we are saying the executive branch must execute the unconstitutional orders of a judge above the requirements of the Constitution, then we are saying he has no duty to the Constitution.

And yet, he swore an oath, not to be subservient to a judge, but the obey the Constitution.

To say he must obey a judge, even to the point of killing an innocent person, is to say we DO have a king. The judges are our dictators.

But we know the executive is NOT required, even when a convict is sentenced to death, to carry out that order. He has the power to stay executions.

[Saundra Duffy]

I wonder if Karen Hughes wrote the speech. I am so furious I can't bear to listen.

[PhiKapMom]

Just like the comments on her about the President's speech. This speech this morning was scheduled to release the Report of the Commission on Intelligence not for Terri Shiavo but some on here cannot seem to comprehend that the Country didn't stop for this one case or prefer not to so they can bash President Bush.

Started out with irritated and now just flat out disgusted with remarks I have been seeing this week. And the media has hyped everything to where I am surprised we didn't have violence.

[oldbrowser]

All any statement will do is to anger social conservatives irrespective of what he says,

The freaks over at DU are thrilled at how this is working out, they got to stick it to the Republicans and now the conservatives are at each others throats.
