And you do notice that Terri's attornies never argued that point. Just like they didn't notice the error in Greer's opinion that Karen Ann Quinlan was alive until 1985 when Greer said she died in 1976.
A big fat juicy ditto on THAT!
Good to see your screenname on the boards, and pray you have a quick recovery. You and Floriduh_Voter are in the same stuggle.
And I stand with you on your DCF comments!

You say less painful.... Would that ALSO BE TO DIE FASTER??
I believe in some cases it's to deliberately hasten death. A friend of ours died of cancer about 6 months ago. He took very little morphine those last few days. He didn't want to take it. He was at home when he died. I disagree with the practice of Hospice or Doctors to decided what's best for a person. Why not allow the person to make that decision. I've been sobbing over what Clearwater, Florida has in store for Terri. How dare they plan to harm Terri.
SOMEONE IN THAT STINKING TOWN BETTER DO SOMETHING TO HELP TERRI.
THE DCF HAS THE AUTHORITY. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO ACT. IF THEY DON'T ACT, GOV JEB BUSH BETTER DO SOMTHING.
JEB BUSH CAN SEND IN THE NATIONAL GUARD.
As I remember, Bob Marshall was the one who called the hospital and threatened to cut out the hospital's federal funding if Terri's feeding tube wasn't put back in.
Seems the hospital had been threatened by a lawsuit from Felos if the tube was put back in.Terri had laid there for several hours while the hospital did nothing til Marshall called. The hospital didn't believe it was Bob Marshall and he said you'll believe it tomorrow when your funding stops.
Bob Marshall and Mel Gibson, I love you guys!
That Schiavo's attitude and actions changed as soon as the money from the malpractice suit was in the bank was not lost on Pearse.
"From that point forward, the ward's husband has isolated the ward from her parents, has on at least one occasion refused to consent for the ward to be treated for an infection, and, ultimately, four years later, has filed the instant petition for the withdrawal of life support on the basis of evidence apparently known only to him which could have been asserted at any time during the ward's illness," he said.
"Since there is no corroborative evidence of the ward's intentions, and since the only witness claiming to have such evidence is the one person who will realize a direct and substantial financial benefit from the ward's death, the undersigned guardian ad litem is of the opinion that the evidence of the ward's intentions developed by the investigation, does not meet the clear and convincing standard."
Charging Pearse was "biased" towards Schiavo, Felos promptly had Pearse removed as guardian ad litem. No one was appointed in his place.
By the time the case came to trial in Jan. 2000, Schiavo had found two witnesses to corroborate his version of Terri's wishes: Scott Schiavo, his brother, and Joan Schiavo, a sister-in-law.
Greer accepted their testimony as "creditable and reliable." Not as good as "clear and convincing," but apparently close enough.
Please..... Margaret Sanger is the father of Planned Parenthood, LOL
Oh no! You are still on dial-up!

Outright lies. Can almost all of them be so uninformed? Or is it intentional?"""
OBVIOUSLY FLORIDA HAS NO HONEST JOUNALIST IN THE WHOLE STATE. OTHERWISE THE TRUTH WOULD BE SHOUTED LOUD AND CLEAR~~!!
WHOSE CONTROLLING THE MEDIA IN FLORIA?? WE NEED THE NATIONAL MEDIA TO READ THIS BOARD. PERHAPS THERE'S SOME HONEST TRUTH SEEKING REPORTERS LEFT IN THIS COUNTRY!!!
MAY GOD HELP US, IF OUR MEDIA CONTINUES TO STAND BY WHILE THIS TORTUREOUS MURDER TAKES PLACE.
If klinton (reno) could order a swat team to grab a little fellow at gunpoint surely Jeb could order the DCF to take custody of Terri since literally NO completed DCF investigation has taken place!
If the legislature fails....before morning of the 18th...then it is time to follow the law and honor the OBLIGATION of the DCF to investigate FULLY! If they need armed people to get this job done, then so be it.
But they did not appeal it to the United States Supreme Court where they always have said the wanted "clear and convincing" evidence.
Only here ( I still have to dig for change in the bottom of my purse upon occasion!).....but.... I'm wireless in Ohio! hehe
Well, let me know what you think of the video. I can't believe you haven't seen it before.

I'm starting to wonder what they ALL are??
ARE THEY JUST PLAYING GAMES WITH THEIR BILLS. TRYING TO WASTE PRECIOUS TIME? WE NEED TO BOMBARB THE MEDIA. AT THIS LATE HOUR, THE MEDIA IS TERRI'S MAIN HOPE.
Mel Gipson did a noble thing by calling Terri's parents. However, I'm will NOT BE IMPRESSED BY HIS ACTIONS IF HE DOESN'T GET HIS BEHIND TO CLEARWATER AND DEMAND TO VISIT TERRI. HE CAN GET THE MEDIA TO PAY ATTENTION.
LET'S E-MAIL GIBSON. TELL HIM TO COME TO CLEARWATER. WHAT'S HE WAITING FOR? THIS IS ABOUT A WOMAN'S LIFE FOR PETE'S SAKE.
This is a confusing line. The Schindlers did two or three times try to appeal to the USSC, but the powerful "brethern" refused to take their case. We don't even know if Scalia and Thomas had sympathy for the life of Terri.
Correct me if I am mistaken, but didn't Governor Bush say not one word over the Clintoid seizure of little Elian?
I know, but not on that point.
Theodore, I like you, I really do. You've posted a lot of insightful comments through the years. But your posts are just too depressing. With every post that someone makes, you always come back with an answer about why it won't work. What are you trying to accomplish? Why do you always see the glass as half empty instead of half full? Get with the program!! The Lord avenges those who are in distress! and Jesus came to save us! All is not lost! There is hope! After the crucifixion comes the resurrection! Read the Bible and believe! The Lord loves us and Jesus is the proof!

There are too many in Congress who can STOP those bills. Please be prepared for them to fail. Only a big miracle will get them through on time. We can't even count on our own Party. Look at all the RINOs in Congress and Clearwater.
The DCF needs to be called over and over again.
WE CAN'T WAIT UNTIL MARCH 18TH.
IF WE CAN'T ACCEPT REALITY - HOW CAN EXPECT THE MEDIA TO PRINT IT??
