Oh, from every press report I have heard the law in Florida defers to the 'custodian' in this case it's still her husband. No matter what you or I think of him -- that's th law. During the round table during FNS yesterday I swear I heard someone say that the state legislature in FLA already said they wouldn't pass a law changing this for the governor (Jeb).
The legislature in FLA is still held by our side, right?!
It sounds to me like the judge is upholding the law that's on the books -- isn't that what we want our judges doing?!?! No matter how backward this particular courts decision was 5 years ago on the recounts... in this case, they upheld the law and didn't make law. GEEZUS!!!
Where is that piece of paper that has Terri Shiavo's living will written on it? This judge is accepting Michael Shiavo's word for this all. That Terri once said in passing she did want to kept alive. A fair judge would not take M Schiavo's word for this. Especially when her family is willing to take care of her.
So the law defers to the 'custodian', huh? And that's absolute, with no review or discretion by the courts? So, I guess if OJ had just put Nicole Simpson in a coma rather than kill her, it would be his decision as 'custodian' to decide her fate.
You understand the utter nonsense that is, don't you? There are many Florida laws that have been violated by this judge, among them the refusal to appoint a guardian ad litum, which is required by law due to the husband's obvious conflict of interest, and appointing himself, against Florida law, her guardian.
