MRS?

[nmh]

Nurse,Carla, that took care of Terri on Laura Ingraham. "We found evidence of needle marks on Terri's, concealed insulin needle in the garbage". Michael obviously tired to kill her with the door closed and locked, he tried it five times, this is a law enforcement case, where is law enforcement?

Did she save this as evidence?

If not, it won't matter.

U.S. District Judge James Whittemore (search) said Bob and Mary Schindler (search) had not established a "substantial likelihood of success" at trial on the merits of their arguments.

Judge Whittemore also found that Schiavo's due process rights had been upheld throughout the litigation process.In the ruling, Whittemore said there were issues concerning the constitutionality of the law Congress passed over the weekend, but he presumed the act to be constitutional for the basis of the request for an injunction that would have ordered the feeding tube reconnected. Whittemore wrote that Schiavo's "life and liberty interests" were protected by the process of the Florida courts. He also found that a state court judge did not compromise the fairness of the proceeding or the impartiality of the court with his decision to allow the feeding tube to be removed. "Even under these difficult and time strained circumstances, however, and notwithstanding Congress' expressed interest in the welfare of Theresa Schiavo, this court is constrained to apply the law to the issues before it," the ruling reads.

"I also think that he dis-allowed testimony from a friend on Terri that said that Terri did not agree with the decision to end life support for Karen Ann Quinlan."

I suspect that is true. As a practicing Catholic, I'm fairly sure she did not want to be creamated either, but, again, MS doesn't give a rip about her, her wishes, or her faith.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

I hope the President and the Attorney General are standing by to give Terri emergency "injunctive relief". Are they not responsible for enforcing the laws of the United States?

"The very idea of freedom presupposes some objective moral law which overarches rulers and ruled alike...Unless we return to the crude and nursery-like belief in objective values, we perish." . . . . . . C. S. Lewis


We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. -- That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security....

Stunning...and SICKENING. Michael Schiavo should be executed.

[keysguy]

Maybe not, in a supposed court of law, but it matters to me!

[northernlightsII]

Hammesfahr was on Hannity last night he is a Nobel Prize nominee in the field of brain injuries and was not paid for his diagnosis according to what he said last night.
How can he not be credible?

[katieanna]

If the 11th Circuit has agreed to hear this case, that sure tells me they'd like to weigh in. I would also think that their assesment is not likely to be in agreement with Whittemore. If they are meeting within moments, I appreciate their swiftness indeed.

Aside: The outcome of this matter will have heavy ramifications for all three branches of our government. I pray God will let Terri live to tell it!

[Zechariah_8_13]

Excellent post.

[ruoflaw]

How many other innocent people will Greer put to death now?

[keysguy]

Exactly! Where is law enforcement?

[penowa]

One thing the federal judge and the federal courts will NOT be looking at in this case is whatever part of the records Greer destroyed when he received the subpoena for them. Don't believe me? That is what Sensenbrenner was so frosted about when Greer ignored the subpoenas and he said so last Friday in one of the interviews he gave. (Hannity's radio show, I believe, but could have been Fox.) WHY would he do this? What is he hiding? Call me a conspiracy nut or Sensenbrenner a liar, but this stinks to high heaven.

It's extremely EXTREMELY unlikely she will get a reprieve.

Have faith, though. She is in God's hands, who spares not an ounce of love for her, nor an ounce of mercy for her persecutors - if they ask for it. Rest knowing that they will account for their actions one day, and that insurance settlement will not argue for the defendant, I guarantee.

MRS is Michael R. Schiavo.

[maryz]

The bishop could annul the marriage, but that takes longer than going through the courts.

A church annulment has no effect on the legality of a civil marriage.

[Rutles4Ever]

Annulments can't take place until a civil divorce is granted.

[Boardwalk]

Law enforcement is protecting the spouse at all costs since the judge is protecting the sancitity of Florida States Rights, that the spouse has the calll, life or death, whatever the spouse wants, truth be damned!

[yldstrk]

This family has got to be stopped. The Schiavos are clearly motivated to kill and it has not been properly clarified in the courts. What were the ages of the parents and the circumstances of the starvations of the Schiavo parents?

[keysguy]

Good stuff, thanks.
