Has anyone ever called you pathetic?
Exactly. Let's pin this crime on the Republicans, even though they've done EVERYTHING in their power to stop it.
He can pardon a murderer but can't step in the Schiavo case? I don't buy it. At the least he can do is delay the killing.
Nonsense...total crap/
Sir, please put aside your jargon for a moment and tell us what law Jeb Bush would be executing if he did what you suggest. How do you indeed conceive the role of the executive? Is it able to do whatever he wants, without check by law? Is not the governor required to act "under law"? Or do you mean something else?
While I understand and also suffer the angst on Terri's plight I can't agree with this statement or conclusion. It is the Judiciary we should demand be restrained here. Terri's legacy must be a reversal of the trend toward judicial dictatorship. They are meant to be the weakest branch of government, not the strongest, and it is d@mn well time for us to take our country back from the "Men In Black".
As far as Gov. Bush is concerned, if Terri does pass, an autopsy is definitely in order. I don't believe there is any record that Terri requested cremation. There is enough evidence of foul play that would justify preventing destruction of the primary evidence and investigation of the facts. A finding of probable cognitive activity would d@mn the judiciary and a finding of physical abuse would open a series of issues regarding HINO.
You didn't put a < /sarcasm > tag. Or did you mean what ou said?
Sleeper troll comes to mind here.......
What a bunch of BS. The liberal judiciary did this.
I agree with you.
Political cost shouldn't be a consideration, but if we are to believe polling it has always been risky to attempt to save her life. The Republicans, including the Gov and President, made the difficult decision to support Life in spite of the risks. For this they are at fault? They are not kings. This is not a monarchy. This did all that was possible under the Constitution.
They are not responsible for all the evil in the world.
Drivel, absolute drivel.
You cannot grant a stay of execution for one who has not been legally sentenced to death for a crime.
You are asking for the impossible.
Then are you willing to call for the impeachment of George W. Bush and Jeb Bush if they do not act in time to save Terri? Many here have called for the impeachment of Greer and Whittemore, and other judges for their actions.
Here is the syllogism: If Jeb and G.W. Bush have a moral obligation to act in saving Terri Schiavo's life;
And if not acting is in itself an action;
And if the actions of Judges Whittemore and Greer were grounds for impeachment;
ergo, Jeb and G.W. Bush should be impeached if they do not act to save Terri Schiavo.
Mark my words, that argument will be used against us by the left before this is over.
He can pardon a murderer but can't step into this case? I don't buy it.
Wake up--you are being "used".
Agree. What an obnoxious and misguided headline.
How is it that they can pardon a murderer but can't order the feeding tube reinserted untill a full investigation is made into Terri's injuries?
A LIE! The dictator judges have made the decision. The judges have taken over the country. Just like the left-wing fascist democrats want.
See? See what I mean?
I say this place has become pathetic with us eating our own, and you insist on sitting right at the buffet table stuffing your face with both arms full of crap.
Stop using your emotions and start using your logic. You want the laws changed to protect a Terri Schiavo vote for candidates that will give it to you.
Stop whining and get a clue.
President Bush stated..."I'd rather err on the side of life". The key work is "err".
He knew he was erring and had no right to expect his bill ordering the Florida Court to review the case would reinsert the tube.
But as usual..instead of debating the issue, you resort to liberal tactics and start attacking me...calling me pathetic.
Look in the mirror for the definition of pathetic.
