Hi FL_engineer.

Re your question: "Would someone please explain WHY they think the latest version of HB701 will not be ignored by Greer? Seems to me he will latch onto the 'exceptions' clause, lines 165 thru 168, and say that Terri has already been 'found' to meet that exception, so he would say the new bill does NOT apply to her."

That section of the bill (line 165 thru 170) says the exception applies only when a person has "expressed directly" the withholding of food and water. Terri has never made a statement saying she wants food and water withheld...so the exception in this section wouldn't apply to her. If this bill passes, she would be safe.

HTH

Except that I read on a thread tonight (can't remember which one), someone posted that the Florida Supreme Court (that tried to give the Presidency to Algore), said that withholding food and water is not something that can be legislated, it's authority to do so is from the Florida Constitution. In other words, it doesn't matter what laws the legislators make, the Florida Kangeroo court will say it, the legislative branch, has no authority to prevent the withholding of food and water as pertains to Terri. How is it, though, that people would get in trouble for withholding food and water from inmates and animals?

Greer would not be the party to challenge the new law. It would be Michael and Felos who would try to sue the legislature and Jeb Bush again. Greer is nowhere near Hospice. There would be nothing he could do if State Troopers showed up at Hospice with a medical team, showed an order to remove Terri from there.

On a Friday afternoon, Greer would be in Clearwater twiddling his thumbs. Greer is demon possessed. He will crumble from the weight of this and very soon imo.
