You all probably saw this. I think it deserves it's own thread and AG Crist his own spotlight.
Continuing prayers for Terri and the Schindler family.

This article and the headline are a little on the slanted side.An AP article on 10/4 written by Mitch Stacy states that AG Crist will stay neutral on this case .Charlie Crist ruled the law constitutional but said that he wouldn't get further involved. As is stated in the above article "The AG takes no position on the merits of the action or on what should be done in this tragic case, and appears for the limited purpose of defending the statue...". Mr. Crist is just doing his job as protector/defender of the "constitutional law".

""As far as we know that hasn't happened yet and people are insistent that it happen," she said." Furthur evidence that we are no longer a government of the people, by the people and for the people. The only recourse of the people is appeal to the highest court....and I'm not referring to SCOTUS.

Crist is not going to argue the "merits of the case". He's leaving that up to the Federal Court hearing. Crist did the bare minimum that he had to do re: Fla's Constitution.
It would have been a lot worse if he was going to argue the merits of the case.
I've emailed Sarah Foster before and I think she kinda sort of got it wrong this time.
I can see why Attorney Anderson had no comment. IMO, this was a small win for Terri, not a horrific development. Merits of the case is where all the evidence and facts come out that are far reaching. Florida Statutes are what they are but, the evidence and merits of Terri's case do rise to the level of a federal case.
Would you rather have Crist argue the merits in addition to his amicus filing? I don't think so.

Crist said the Schindlers had not made a ''persuasive case'' that the Florida statutes that provide ''a mechanism through which the profoundly incapacitated can exercise their constitutional right to refuse life-prolonging treatment'' are unconstitutional. However, he declined to become further involved.
So where did the murderer wash his hands and who brought him the bowl?
