Right. They just sent it back to the judiciary instead of taking actions themselves. No balls.
May God's mercy be upon her, as man's mercy is no mercy at all in her case.
Awesome, I agree.
I wonder how much food and drink this pig scum goon, robe as black as his puny soul, judge imbibed prior to making his blood thirsty decision. May his brains rot, if they haven't already.
"If she were on a respirator and they removed it and found that she were able to breath on her own, would they then smother her?????"

This makes it painfully obvious, that they WANT to kill Terri, because they don't want to be proven wrong. And even if someone's feeding tube is removed, they are usually kept on IV to hydrate them, because death by dehydration is so horrible and this judge specifically ordered that Terri get no nutrition and no hydration.
I kept hoping I'd wake up to find an act of G-d had removed him from the story.
That's enough of the name-calling, I think.
The difference in FL and other states lies in the number of retirees with substantial means who move there to spend their last years. The legal profession has been "plucking" these marks for years. It is no secret.
Lord Jesus, as this appeal has been filed , we pray for a speedy resolution. May favor be found in this court of law and nourishment restored quickly to Terri. We look to YOU, we trust in YOU, and know that YOU are hearing our prayers as we petition on behalf of Terri. In Your Name we Pray,
AMEN
I take it from your response that you are not familiar with what multiple experts have been saying about this case. Would you like me to provide you with links?
Something like this simply should not be allowed without a properly witnessed, signed living will.
""....What do you think of the possibility of the President ordering the federal marshal service to protect her as a lawfully-subpoenaed witness based on the Congressional summons?...."
I hold this out as a very real possibility. Just do it, and let the courts settle the resulting Constitutional crisis. Meanwhile, Terry lives."
Amen to that.
UNBELIEVEABLE! That's nonsense! HE only allowed what he wanted in order to convict her of her 'crime.'
After Terri is murdered, the USA should issue one of its "public apologies" that Bill Clinton was so famous far. This "apology" should be to the nominally defunct Nazi Germany. We should tell the Germans that we regret fighting the Nazis because many of their "values" have now become "American values." We can say that we have "moved on" and "learned" with their experience.
I know. And you wake up in the morning out on the Left Coast and this is the first thing you see. It doesn't put you in the best of moods for the rest of the day. Especially, knowing some of the facts that aren't getting reported.
But it's typical of the lamestream media.
I do not know what The Empire Journal has access to; scoop1 would know; I assume it has access to no more than what is currently on its website, through that article
The only option left, unfortunately, is the appeal to the 11th Circuit, the same court who let Elian become a ward of Fidel Castro.
I pray for Terry and her family. God give them the strength to get through this nightmare.
Tell your boyfriend that it is NOT painless to dehydrate to death. My mom did not want to be kept alive by ANY artificial means at all. She made that very clear many times, and she executed all the paperwork and filed it with the nursing home when she moved in. When she had her last stroke that left her comatose, we honored her wishes. My sisters and I sat with her until she died which took seven days. On the sixth day, she started to moan with every exhallation. A nurse came in and put a pain patch on her, and she ceased moaning after about an hour. She died the next day. It's not painless. I was there, and I know.
Death by dehydration and starvation is not painless until the moment you die. My uncle flew B-29s in the Pacific during the war and, on one of those rare occasions when he would talk about his wartime experiences, he told me the story of one of the crews in his squadron whose plane went down in the Pacific. That crew survived the ditching and made their way to a coral atoll. They lost all their survival gear and all were injured in the ditching. They had no food or water, and were too weak from injuries to even try to catch food. They basically laid on the coral sand waiting to die. After a day or two they suffered from dehydration. Two men lost consciousness. The rest somehow refrained from drinking seawater, but after a couple of more days most were in some measure of excruciating agony, falling into hallucinations, not knowing reality from fantasy. Those men who were unconscious showed signs of pain by moaning, writhing about on the sand, or screaming during their sleep. Others who were awake tried to drink seawater or stuff sand into their mouths, but their friends held them back. He said the guys told him it was the most horrible experience they could ever have imagined. The crew was rescued after about a week by a PT boat that had strayed off it's patrol course. Just dumb luck, but they were saved.
Call that anecdotal evidence if you like, but no one will ever convince me that death by dehydration/starvation is painless or comfortable.
