Since when is the US Congress subject to a state judge?

You people really should read the constitution. States have powers over and above the feds. The feds have very few powers relating to the internal workings of a state. The state judge has every right to overrule the federal judge and that is the way it should be. You people are trying to break all sorts of laws, constitutional and other wise, to uphold your good intentioned but wrong headed views about Terri. SHE IS BRAIN DEAD. That means she can't recover.

She is not in a coma, coma patients sometimes recover, people who have no cerebral cortex never recover and this is Terri's condition as sad as it may be. She is never going to recover, she is not responsive regardless of what you have convinced yourself of. Let her go, let her find some peace.

"You people really should read the constitution. States have powers over and above the feds."

READ Article VI
This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.

She is brain-damaged not brain-dead.

Should they just shoot her, heaven forbid, and get it over with?

Some of us do need to read the Constitution. And some - like you - need to read up on this case.

How is she brain dead?

[traderrob6]

You better look up what "brain dead" is. Nothing worse than a nimrod who thinks he knows what he's talking about and knows half of little

I don't like the congressional issuing of the subpoenas either. Totally a misuse of congressioanl power. However Greer has really stepped in sh-t here. The congressional subpoenas provide an order of protection to the witness. This is now the feds interfering in a state matter any longer. It is a state judge essentially killing a witness and it will not stand. Regardless, of how absurd it is for her to go testify, he now was powerless to remove the feeding tube until March 28, when she would fail to show up for the hearing.

This woman isn't brain dead. She's not been diagnosed BRAIN DEAD. She's been diagnosed PVS. And there is serious question as to whether the diagnosis is accurate.

Nice article on this here: http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/johansen200503160848.asp

The state judiciary cannot interfere with the proper fuctioning of the Congress. One of its legitimate functions is to investigate if someone has wrongfully been deprived of the right to life and if such actions warrant the creation of a new law to protect that life and others in similar situations. Once again the 5th amendment of the Constitution gives them that power.

As for her being 'brain dead', that could only be claimed if the brain completely ceased functioning. That is evidently not the case here. This is a living person being murdered.

You really should read all the reports that say to the contrary before you make such an ill informed statement. Not to mention callous and brutal.

In fact, if you check through this forum, you'll see where Judge Greer is breaking Florida State law.

Or, is this just another "late term abortion" in your eyes?

What difference does it make? Her parents are willing to care for her. It makes no sense to pronounce a death sentence on someone who has responsible caretakers willing to tend her. If only for the mental health of the parents she should be allowed to stay with them.

I can't figure out the husband's motives. He has a new "wife", children and life, why doesn't he just let Terri's parents have her. His behavior defies all logic.

Is that you Judge Greer? Stop hiding from those subpoenas!

[Aquinasfan]

You people are trying to break all sorts of laws

LOL! The judge is attempting murder!

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Someone should read the Constitution, and it's not us. It's you. The Supremacy Clause states that the federal government trumps the state government, and from what I'm aware, you have the facts about her condition wrong as well.

[Robert A Cook PE]

You (blinded by your desire to kill her) don't know what she's thinking.

[Altamira]

" SHE IS BRAIN DEAD. "

She is NOT brain dead. But your post, on a subject which you obviously know nothing, shows that you might be.

Get the facts before you post, moron.

[AFPhys]

IF she is dead, her soul is already gone, it is not a question of letting her go - so don't be concerned about erroring on the side of life.

If her soul is still there, the position you advocate would indeed kill her.

I think erring on the side of life in this case can not be in fault.

SHE IS BRAIN DEAD

A lie straight from the pits of hell - you have no idea what you and your own blood-thirsty brain are talking about.

"You people"..."Read the constitution"

Do you not know where you are posting at?

Thats like asking if the choir has read the hymnal.
