They tried to starve her to death too.
They were wrong.
Good point. Thanks to Judge Demers, Wolfson's "marching orders" were "narrowly constructed" to include only the court record. Kate Adamson's recovery and experiences were purposefully excluded from Wolfson's investigation.
The Executive Order can be revoked by the Governor, but if Terri's Law is found to be unconstitutional, E. would no longer carry the force of law.
Could Wolfson have spoken all over the lot so he can stay on as GAL as long as possible?
Do you suppose HIS marching orders were that he stay on until such time that the E.O. was overturned, so that someone more pro-life would not be appointed in his place? Maybe the time spent with Terri and her family, and possibly a nudge from the Holy Spirit, is helping to build another heart of flesh.
I am cautiously impressed with and hopeful with Jeb's seemingly astute and caring stance at this point. He seems to have back-tracked on his earlier position that Terri was PVS and that her life should hinge on whether she could swallow on her own or not.
Wolfson's stance seems to have shifted as well, judging from what he said after Jeb issued the executive order:
Following the passage of Terri's Law, Wolfson told WFTS-TV in Tampa, Florida: "If this law stands the constitutional test of the courts, then it certainly implies the executive of our state has the prerogative of injecting the state into your life, or your family member's life." ....and what he's saying now:
An independent guardian appointed for Terri Schiavo told Governor Jeb Bush Tuesday that she deserves a permanent guardian other than her estranged husband Michael. He also claimed Terri is in a permanent vegetative state, but added that she should be re-evaluated by experts.
In effect, it appears that he now agrees with Jeb taking the steps he did in order to save a life. msmagoo - good catch on #175!
