That tore me up.
I may be wrong, but I'll bet that Wolfson is a stealth-euthanasia advocate, and that this judge is posing Terri's parents with a Hobson's choice.
Schiavo's side of course will present names of blatantly pro-euthanasia types, and Terri's side of course cannot accept that, so VOILA, Wolfson will be appointed by planned default.
If this story about Wolfson's alleged assault on a female colleague is true, then he's a hothead and should be disqualified on that ground alone.
Now there's a real emergency for you.
His actions speak loud and clear on this point. This scum would have divorced her years ago if there were not a pot of gold at the end of his sick, twisted rainbow.
The pages start with nurse Carla Iyer's affidavit. Carla Iyer's license indicates that she is still practicing --- see Reply 53.Michael Schiavo's sworn testimony that he would spend the rest of his life taking care of Terri --- see Reply 105, item 23 therein.
Nurse Carolyn Johnson's affidavit --- see Reply 78.
Nurse Heidi Law's affidavit --- see Reply 86.
The first time in court, that Michael Schiavo recollects that Terri allegedly had expressed some wish that she would not want to live, was in the year 2000, ten years after her initial medical emergency --- see Reply 124, item 20 therein.
A bone scan ordered by a doctor, and performed on March 5, 1991, just over a year after her initial medical emergency in February 1990, concluded that she suffered from a history of bone trauma --- see Reply 221.
Who would pay-off on a policy like this?
Getting the law nullified doesn't affect the executive order.
The legislature, from what I have been able to find out, so far, can take action to override an executive order. But the legislature is on board so there is no usuroation of their poewrs at issue. If there were they could petition for a judicial remedy.
That hasn't happened.
If the court tries to intrude into the legitimate powers to the legislative and executive branch, they'll be on pretty thin legal ice.
BTW I came accross this interesting tidbit.
EO 01-262 I hereby declare that a state of emergency exists in the State of Florida... The authority to suspend the effect of any statute or rule governing the conduct of state business, and the further authority to suspend the effect of any order or rule of any governmental entity...
This is part of an executive order issued by Jeb Bush in 2001.
It had no expiration date. Im wondering if he ever rescinded it. If not doesn't it make any appeal by Schiavo, Felos, or the ACLU moot?
After all, the courts are a government entity.
THis is also a good example of the sweeping executive power he has to act when he deems necessary.
I think many of them have the same mentality as those who try and goad a potential suicide to jump off the bridge.
It's disturbing that so many of them live in this country.
Yeah, as long as the gestapo was there to prevent any oral feedings on Herr Michaels orders.
The death mongers know that too many people fear suffering and physical limitations more than the fear death and they exploit this fear to kill.
I read that the AARP is thinking about getting involved in this case on Schiavo's side. They are they are totally insane. They're being given a cup of poison which they seem eager to drink.
Anyone would die within two weeks without food and water.

Some dialysis units routinely encourage families to stop dialysis of relatives if they encounter some injury or medical problem. At first glance this may actually seem altruistic but wait a minute. Here's what happens.
They don't really stop dialysis. They provide a kind of phoney dialysis where only the fluid is removed not the toxins.
They stiil go through the same procedure only it does nothing.
My question is, if you are willing to put this person through this procedure, why not do the real thing?.The answer is simple. They're too much trouble and it's not difficult to find someone available to fill the empty chair who is less trouble.
No money lost and you eliminate problem patients
