There has been a few abolished US federal courts. A 1 minute look around the net shows:
- 1802 U.S. district court for the District of Potomac
- 1862 Congress abolished the California circuit court
- 1863 Congress abolished the circuit and district courts for the District of Columbia
- Commerce Court (1910) abolished in 1913
I doubt all the judges retired, but they may have moved on to other courts.
I know this may be asking for abuse, but has the family filed criminal charges?
Yes, the wrong standard was followed.
The new law passed by Congress (under Procedures) states that this should be given a Trail De Novo. Basically whatever happened at the lower court should not have been considered. This was to be tried on the Merit and witnesses like it wasn't heard before.
And that's what happens when you put a bad law in the hands of a person who sees how to use the law.
So now you are changing your argument.she should die to save the constitution.
Negative. It is the PATIENT's decision, and the PATIENT's alone. Greer found that Micheal's comments represent Terri's wishes. That's what has folks chapped, because the evidence is not so clear that Michale's belated recall does in fact represent Terri's wish to be starved to death.
You didn't ask me, but I have a keen legal mind, and this is one of the best ways to attack credibility.
BTW, do you guys know Greer is legally blind?
My contention is NOT that he is a jerk or whatever. I am highly suspect of his sudden recall, after seven years of dwelling on how to keep her alive and finally assuring insurance money to do so, that she said she would have wanted to die... convieniently after having gained over a million dollars from insurance to keep her alive.
His failure to recall her wishes earlier is sufficient to disallow anything further he has to say.
If Michael did not use his power as guardian to prevent a divorce from being filed, a divorce court judge wouldn't have to deliberate five seconds before issuing a divorce. That a married man can declare another woman his "fiancee" and still claim marital authority is absurd.
Rush said is best when he said:
THE RIGHTS OF A HUSBAND DO NOT SUPERCEDE TERRI'S RIGHTS AS A HUMAN BEING!!!!!!!!!
I bet it is Michael selling!
I understand your feelings, and they are valid. But you would be out of line in a case like this. You must look at it from my perspective. I made a promise to my wife. I will see it fulfilled. Period. Weather it hurts her parents or not.
She didn't have the chance. She ended up on the floor with brain damage.
It helps the HINO that Greer is legally blind because otherwise the obvious creep factor that oozes from the HINO may be apparant.

Link to this evidence, please.
THE RIGHTS OF A HUSBAND DO NOT SUPERCEDE TERRI'S RIGHTS AS A HUMAN BEING!!!!!!!!!
He is really HITTING some home runs this morning!!
The family cannot file criminal charges. They can make a police report and leave it to the police and local prosecutors to file and prosecute. I wish them luck should they wish to accomplish this in Scientology Central. Their only recourse as ordinary citizens is to file a civil lawsuit in either state court or a federal civil rights action. I would advise them strongly against trying to do anything in that swamp.
Is there any proof that Terri wanted this? Any at all?
I know the 11th Circuit will come through.
Lot better than the 9th Circus.
Hardly silly, baseless, or irrelevant, your statement nonewithstanding. You see, the basis of your argument IS due process. It has been amply demonstrated that due process does not mean justice... which was the whole point of our legal system!
Your contention that Congress is interfering with a marriage is without merit. All Congress did was give jurisdiction on this case to the Federal court system. Who do you think organized and gave authorization to the inferior courts to begin with? Hint: it wasn't the Easter Bunny. It was Congress. The Constitution GAVE them the right to do so in Article I Section 1. Further, Section 2 of the same Article gives the power to the Judiciary in all cases in equity and in law. So, when Congress decided to let the Federal Courts review this case, it was perrmissable. I won't even begin to argue how the 14th Amendment is applicable in this case. We'd be here all day.
