Continuation of Terri Schiavo daily March threads. Due to overwhelming participation we reached over 5000 posts in three days time!
Well first, you'd have to hire FELOS, to get to SENATOR KING, to get the law changed to ALLOW FOR DEATH BY STRANGULATION, while the patient is in a HOSPITAL UNABLE TO SPEAK OR TALK.
Because, right now, DEATH BY STRANGULATION IS A FELONY.
At the time Terri could talk, DEATH BY WITHHOLDING FOOD AND WATER, VIA A TUBE, WAS A FELONY.
Michael Schiavo hired Felos when Terri couldn't speak her wishes, got the LAW CHANGED so HE COULD WITHHOLD FOOD AND WATER FROM TERRI SO HE COULD KILL HER.
I know! I remember my wife once told me she "couldn't live without me"! And that's the truth Judge.
We're past 5,000 posts again
I am, as well. The last time I was in such earnest prayer was concerning another "judicial" matter going on in Florida in 2000.
Anyone remember the anquish in prayer before the election in 2004?? The church came together in agonizing prayer and fasting and I believe that God intervened and George Bush won.
I wish some of you would run for public office and boot out some of the nutjobs we have in there now.
We need more good conservatives running for office!!!
True conservatives.....
Heard tonight that when HER good friend tried to show in court that she DID NOT want to die, it was thrown out because court forgot that Karen Ann Quinlan lived for ten years after her life support was removed.
WHAT ABOUT THE SUICIDALLY DEPRESSED? Their husband's could say they killed their wives because their wives told them they didn't want to live anymore.
Amen!
When was this filed and where?
Well SeasideSparrow, I have often wished I had gone into politics. My cousin and his son did, however. He was a fine State Senator for California for a long time. His son now is a State Assemblyman. Conservative and honorable!!!
I know alot of people were in prayer (of course, I was), but I was calm and at peace. I was not during 2000. I was awakened by night to pray.....for weeks. And I am a solid deep sleeper.
Better yet....anyone who wants to become a lawyer and then a judge....even better.
One problem we've got though is this: During elections we're supposed to vote for these nutcase judges, but we are not "allowed" to know where they stand on issues like abortion, euthanasia, etc.
THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM.
Already ready for a new thread?
As it reads after applying Rule of Terri #2
AMICUS BRIEF OF CONGRESSMAN DAVE WELDON, THE AMERICAN CENTER FOR LAW AND JUSTICE, AND LIBERTY COUNSEL IN SUPPORT OF EMERGENCY INJUNCTIVE RELIEF ARGUMENT Terri Schiavo
This is not a right to die case. Rather, this case is about efforts to protect a vulnerable, disabled young woman from harm at the hands of those with manifest conflicts of interests.
This case has a long and complex history. The overriding question here, however, is whether to restore the status quo -- food and fluids for -- so that she will not die before the various important questions at issue can be duly sorted out. Terri Schiavos life is
I. Life-threatening situation
in imminent jeopardy. Her death will irreparably prejudice the proceedings herein. An injunction can always be reversed. But this Court has no power to resurrect the dead. Cruzan v. Director, Mo. Dept of Health, 497 U.S. 261, 283 (1990) (An erroneous decision to withdraw life-sustaining treatment . . . is not susceptible of correction). beyond basic human decency
To delay is to sentence Terri to an inhumane death. If she were a cat or a dog, her death by starvation and dehydration would not be tolerated. If she were a convicted felon, her death by starvation and dehydration would not be tolerated. Cf. State ex rel. White v. Narick, 170 W. Va. 195, 292 S.E.2d 54 (1982) (convict has no right to starve to death, even voluntarily); People ex rel. Ill. Dept of Corrections v. Millard, 335 Ill. App. 3d 1066, 1070, 782 N.E.2d 966, 969 (2003) (same) (citing cases).
That she is a gravely mentally disabled woman should not place her .
And all God's children said, Amen ...
That's fantastic, Pollywog!!!!!
That's what we need more of, isn't it. ;o)
Even today, death by withholding food and water by mouth still is a felony.
Amen!
Yes, all God's children say Amen!
Now that's an idea... I'll fly out to San Fran, marry Felos in absentia, then fly down to Tampa, then choke the living crap out of him, remember he wanted to die, then have Greer whitewash the whole deal.
