"Michael will never get that money. I'm sure the insurance company will do a little investigation of their own, and decide that he was an accessory. "

He already has control of the money and has had it for years. He's not spending it on Terri's rehabilitaion only for the hospice.

I never really understood exactly what insurance company was involved. Does anyone know the source of the money?

The House action came hours after a state agency for the disabled asked a U.S. judge in Tampa to keep the woman alive so it could investigate a claim that she is being abused by having the tube removed. The judge was expected to rule as early as Tuesday.

In all the excitement of the house session last night, I forgot all about Judge Mayberry. Hurry up, Judge, make the senate session starting time a moot point!

[pollywog]

I would think that since it has passed in the House that they ought, OUGHT to re-insert the feeding tube, pending this vote

Can this be done??????IF SO BACK TO THE GOVERNORS PHONE LINES!!!!!!!!! someone advise please!

All the email contacts are listed for your favorite Fox shows. The only one that I haven't seen address Terri is Fox&Friends. I've been very disappointed with them.

Great pics of our very own FReepers, and Congressman-to-be Robinson, at the Terri Schiavo vigil.

"BTW, that was the AP headline, not mine"

Yes, I wrote the AP pukes to express my disgust.

[HiTech RedNeck]

BUT there will be blocks thru the court system by Michael

Well, the thing that has stopped this for 13 years has been the strong presumption (such as it is) towards right to life. I'd hope that even Greer would grasp this. Or if not, then the SCOFLA or even SCOTUS would.

And with this I'm outta here. 'Day.

I would doubt that this could LEGALLY be done, since the bill has not been signed into law. I'm not saying it isn't worth e-mailing though. We NEED TO KEEP THE PRESSURE ON!

[mtbopfuyn]

Tiff??? Tiff??? I couldn't get past the disgusting headline. The AP should be ashamed.

[Diamond]

... the committee system

Also known as "Soviet".

Cordially,

Phenn says the bill is being pushed back and we need to put on more contact pressure.

[SendShaqtoIraq]

The insurance company is out of business.

[MarMema]

Phenn says the bill is being pushed back because of language, I don't know if this means pushed later or back to the house.

Are you sure he's paying for the hospice? I thought that cost was being picked up from another source.

Kuby says:

IF I'M EVER IN A VEGETATIVE STATE, ASSUME i WANT TO LIVE! STAY AWAY FROM THAT PLUG!

Too bad, Kuby! What this case should make plain is that nobody's going to care what you want.

I also hope and pray that her "husband" NEVER gets a penny of the million + for the death of his LEGAL wife.

Isn't he driving around in a new Mercedes or some such high dollar car? Bet he skimmed off some of that trust fund or was planning on using the inheritance to make payments. Just couldn't wait until after the cremation.

"This bill so oversteps our role it ... turns democracy on its head," Rep. Dan Gelber said.

I am afraid that this fellow is right.

If passed, I would expect this arguement to go full circle and be struck by the State Supreme Court as unconstitutional.

"He's not spending it on Terri's rehabilitaion only for the hospice."

I thought that Medicare was paying the hospice bill.
What exaxtly is ms doing with the money except paying for the lawyers.

[johnb838]

the woman that Michael is banging better start re-evaluating the nature of their assocciation. It happened to Terri, it can happen to her.

I expect that that is how he will finally be caught. MS looks like a wife-beater, and plenty arrogant to think he can get away with it again.

[agrace]

Actually it's not the "Courts." It's Judge Greer, and Judge Greer alone. Appeals courts can't overturn his "finding of fact," they can only challenge the litigative process.

REALLY? Is that why everything's been rejected on appeal? In all these threads, this is the first time I have read something like this. That doesn't seem possible. How could anyone ever hope to get past a corrupt judge then?
