I am confused about the U.S. Senate acting on the Weldon-Martinez bill. Some posts said that the U.S. Senate will vote Thursday but that there is no organized opposition thus far to the bill. Yet, I read that neither Frist nor Reid are on board. Frist is still "studying" (or hand-wringing) the matter, and Reid says it must go through (slow) committees. So, how can there be a Thursday afternoon vote in Washington?
Others say the FL law won't fare any better than the 2003 version and that George W. Greer will simply ignore it.
Someone inserted the letters US in front of the story about the FL House and Senate Bill. I am not kidding. So everyone got all confused thinking it was about the Federal Bill. They later admitted their mistake. They really did assume it was about the Federal Bill, and so inserted the "US" because the original story did not say that. As to Frist, he will be for it. Mark my words. As a physician and Senate Leader, he is just making sure he understands the Bill. Dotting i's and crossing t's. But I have said this over and over on here, and neither you nor the others believe me. Too bad. Beat your chests against Frist if you please; he will support us. Now as for Democrat Harry Reid, that is a problem.
Greer may try to ignore it, that's a real possibility. The question is, will someone step up and stop him. Or will the Federal Bill do something in time. BTW, he could choose to say the death order goes ahead no matter what laws are passed, no matter what they say, no matter if State or Federal. We all know that. So if he does, who will stop him? That is the question. Your predictions are always the same. Gloom. Doom. Hopelessness. Helplessness. Depression.
