Just on Fox: Judge going back to chambers to review plaintiff (parents) request for restraining order and tube reinserted.
Really?
poll data from ABC news:
70% say Congress was wrong to intervene
60% oppose the new law
67% suspect political motivations
78% would not want to live in such a situation
Catholics support removing the feeding tube 63-26%.
This is not a partisan issue either, with 65% of Democrats, 63% of Independents, and 61% of Republicans supporting the husband's decision.

Looks like Terri is toast.
I think we're all going to be surprised how fast we're labeled "USELESS EATERS" if we become the slightest burden to anyone.
Start planning for the new reality.....contribute to society or drop dead.
It is as clear as a bell to me that there will be no Social Security crisis......they'll just kill off enough of the oldsters to make the math right.
All this was predicted but very few listened.....now we can reap what was sown.
Exactly!
"Don't wait. Leave. You're not wanted with your dictatorial desires and your "damn the 'legality'" attitude."
If folks had of taken your attitude back in 1775 then there would not be a United States of America. Unjust laws are not law.
Victoria, where are we going with all of this?
During Holy Week we are sure seeing more injustice done to another human being.
This is all too familiar. The pharisees are running the show again.
Your analogy is so very wrong, as is your misplaced blame on President Bush.
I'm sorry but that's just wrong. Napolitano doesn't parrot the Republican talking points and that's why many don't like him. He's probably the most conservative person I've seen on Fox News yet. And if you check his 'knowledge of the law' you'll find he agrees almost word for word with the Framers of the Constitution. But of course those are just the Framers, who are they compared to today's Republican leadership.
I wish someone would do a poll which also asked a number of true/false questions making various allegations against Schiavo et al., some true and some false, and with varying degrees of veracity [making abundantly clear to the respondent that the existence of an allegation on the poll does not imply its truth and should thus not influence the poller's response].
It would be interesting to know what portion of the "kill Terri" respondents are aware that (1) A malpractice judgement was awarded specifically for Terri's care, but Michael has spent most of it on other things; (2) Michael ordered all therapy stopped immediately after receiving the award; (3) Michael pledged to marry another woman, by whom he (IIRC) already had a child, before he remembered his wife's supposed "wishes"; (4) Terri is not an a respirator, and some nurses have given testimony that she might be able to take food or liquid by mouth, but Michael forbids that; (5) doctors' opinions that Terri is PVS are not unanimous, and the doctors who have declared her PVS have spent less than an hour each with her. The above are all facts which I believe are indisputable. I would expect that many people who might think Terri should die but don't know the above facts would change their opinion if they did know them. A "kill Terri" poll response by someone who does not know the above facts should therefore not be considered meaningful.
ABC took the poll on a Sunday night. THAT was a biased action from the get-go.
If you don't have any information, and information is mass produced by the MSM, then early surveys will always tilt in their direction.
We don't have instant media, but rather we have the internet, the radio, and a few magazines & papers. The dissemination of news does work with those outlets, but it trickles into the public.
A poll one month from now will be different.
I KNOW that. I was stating that becuase of the Randall Terry person that Hannity was talking with this afternoon. Randall said her name was JANE and that she was a female. Since he was there I thought he knew what he was talking about especially since he was being interviewed by Sean!!!!
Title is misleading. I did talk to a nurse friend, and she said Terri's death will be painless. If feeding tube is not reinserted, I will take comfort in this, which I pray is true.
A good lesson from this is to make a living will. Just curious how many here would want to kept alive like this and how many would prefer death?
This is the will of the Father, that you believe on the one he has sent.
"Your analogy is so very wrong, as is your misplaced blame on President Bush."
I have deep affection for President Bush, but the buck stops with him. Either he can act preemptively, like I applauded in Iraq, or he can role over and let an innocent woman die at the hands of the state.
""won't hear it until 3"--. . . When a president gets out of bed to sign this into law"
EXCELLENT contrast. This comparison would resonate with people -- hope it gets wide distribution!
Bush isn't a king... he doesn't have that kind of power.
The buck does not stop with him. He is not a king.
