The same was/is happening in our federal system in Germany, too, within a few decades. In 1950, 20% of all bills needed the approval of the Bundesrat (comparable to Senate), because they affected the states (somehow). In 2000, it was 65% of all bills! That shows how much power the federal stage got. But we - fortunately - can (and will in this case) change the constitution, because a better division of the powers of the states and Berlin makes decisions more transparent.

How does that work? Greer has the power to starve a congressional witness to death?

I hope and pray you're right. I was under the impression that they subpoenae'd Michael, the Schindlers, the judge, and a number of other people but I don't remember reading that they had subpoenaed Terri herself.

I feel that allowing her to move on to the after-life is an act of mercy

And there's the problem. You are being guided by your feelings.

The story of your niece reminded me of a book I read a long time ago:

Power of the Powerless

Thanks for sharing it. I'll bet she is really missed.

I have a living will. I don't want to be kept alive artificially.

But. And this is a big one, Terri's situation is different.

She needs to be treated. She needs as much physical therapy as possible. She needs a chance. A chance she hasn't been given. That's a difference.

I'm going to have my living will amended. If I'm in a coma because of what might be foul play, I want to be treated aggressively for up to a year before the plug is pulled. I want a chance too.

If it's old age and a painful disease, no extraordinary measures, please. But that's not this circumstance. And everyone senses it.

There are too many unanswered questions here. Why didn't the husband get help for her when help would have mattered? Wouldn't most grieving husbands want to try something? He didn't give up after trying. He didn't try. If Terri really felt like he said, why didn't she sign a living will? Does the state default to no treatment, no help, and starvation death in cases of potential foul play?

Something stinks in this case, and we all feel it. The stench reaches to our souls. This doesn't feel like respect for a woman's wish to die peacefully, it feels like murder.

You guys are not far from opening the gas chambers back up.

One of your enlightened European countries is about to give Physicians the right to murder/euthanise children against the wishes of parents.

After 15 years, trust me, she's trying.

Hardly. The tube was removed for six days before and didn't seem to try too hard then. Are you chanelling her thoughts, John Edwards-like?

Family spokesperson: Schiavo feeding tube removed

Friday, March 18, 2005

Terri Schiavo is staying at a Pinellas Park hospice.
A spokesperson for Michael Schiavo says Terri Schiavo's feeding tube was removed Friday with Michael in attendance.

He says a prayer service was held first, and that Michael was emotional and crying, saying he wanted to put the situation behind him.

Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Court Judge George Greer denied two U.S. House of Representative emergency motions Friday, which allowed the tube's removal.

The first motion was to intervene in the case for the House Committee on Government Reform and the second motion was to push the date back nine days so it could conduct what it calls a field investigation concerning the healthcare of Schiavo.

The reinstatement followed a decision by a Sixth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida judge block the removal of Schiavo's feeding tube minutes before the scheduled 1 p.m. removal time.

The U.S. House of Representatives' Committee on Government Reform issued a subpoena Friday morning requesting Schiavo, her husband Michael and doctors involved appear before them March 28.

The subpoena provides legal protection to the people they are issued to, meaning nothing can be done to cause harm or result in the death of that person or prevent them from showing up to testify in front of the U.S. Congress.

A neurologist appeared at Terri Schiavo's Pinellas Park hospice center Friday with a TV screen to show video of patients he treated that were in worse condition than Schiavo and got better.

That procedure happens when all state remedies have been exhausted and state action is going to take the life of a person. The federal court has a right to step in and review the process.

Michael Schiavo says Terri, 41, wouldn't want to live in this condition, while her parents think she can be rehabilitated.

Protestors on both sides of the issue are outside the hospice.

I'm with you, too. Greer should be brought before Congress. He needs to be held accountable for his actions!

Just read and heard on Foxnews.com that another judge has stopped the removal of the feeding tube. Is this true????

Rush said the House is sending lawyers to find Judge Greer and give him the subpoena.

It seems we have a judge who is now hiding from Congress, I'd call that close to contempt.

She really is. But a more blessed missionary to the lives of ordinary people was never to be found.

Thanks, and blessings.
