Good night, TAdams.

[Awestruck]

woahhhh you know what? we recognized this guy before and didn't just now..... remember earlier... as I said before...SATAN.. you and your lies can take a hike, king of liars, king of filth... Through the Holy Blood of the one true KING Jesus Christ, we rebuke you and send you back to the slime pit from whence you came! can I get an AMEN?

[kenth]

Amen!

[valleygal]

I love hammentaschen. Did I spell that right?

[djreece]

I would assume so, but all the criticism of the briefs makes me wonder if Congress dropped the ball.

In any case the true problem lies with the black robes: Playing legal games rather than seeking and executing justice while a woman dies a slow, cruel death. The meaning and intent of the new law was clear. They've made a fatal error they will regret in years ahead.

I thought this thread was safe and no disrupters would be tolerated.

Am I on the wrong Terri prayer thread?

Regarding who you were replying to.

All of us who are careproviders and disabled like Terri are dying a little inside right now.

The mood in our home is very somber we both are grieving like we never have done before in our lives.

I can't stop thinking of St. Kolbe.

[Houston FR2]

Oh good.. that's what I figured. Well, since we still haven't heard the ruling, I wonder if Whittemore is struggling with the ruling he WAS going to give? With all these prayers going up, maybe he's had a change of heart?? GO GOD!!!

"Clearly, the Middle District of Florida is required by Public Law 109-3 to keep Theresa Marie Schiavo alive until such time as a de novo review of her claims occur."

It sounds as if there is a good possibility for terri's tube to be reinserted and a new start.

[Awestruck]

I don't think you are Jewish either... I think you are Baal... Beelzabub... Demon.. begone!

[DJ MacWoW]

Mine's on the not so much mode...

I laughed so much the cat went into "hang on for dear life" mode which includes claws. LOL

Btw, that will probably be my best post for awhile. :)

[stlnative]

I hoped also that the Gov. Bush (or DCF) could step in, but Gov. Bush nor DCF can legally do it.

Bush clearly said tonight he would not do anything illegal.

[PleaseNoMore]

I am getting quite sick of being disrespected on these boards.

Round here kiddo you get as good as you give. Got it?

[SeasideSparrow]

What do you mean....a new start?

What news have I not heard yet? Please say....

[PleaseNoMore]

Yep. Y'all are so much more pleasant :o)

[floriduh voter]

You have no idea what a strange day this was. I was helping the media, guarding cell phones, introducing people, taking a gift to the Schindlers for a man who disappeared after I promised to give it to the family. I was going to tell him they got it but he literally vanished into thin air. If you see a pink shirt that says Terri Thirsts on it and a coke bottle in it, that's floriduh voter but only my shirt. If you see people screaming Governor Rescue Terri Now that was because a plane with a banner flew over with that message. Then we were chanting Rescue Terri Now Jeb. Orwellian cops like you wouldn't believe. So much happened today, I will never remember today. I drove Randall Terry's vehicle this afternoon. That was kinda kewl.

ALAN KEYES IS IN TALLAHASSEE TRYING TO GET A MEETING WITH JEB AND A BUS LEFT HOSPICE WOODSIDE FOR TALLAHASSEE TONIGHT AT 10:00 PM EST.

Bill Bennett is on Fox and he's really ticked about this. So is Tom Delay. So am I.

[valleygal]

good night, FV. Thanks for your hard work. We prayed our heart out tonight.

[Awestruck]

they are as ignorant of man's laws as they are of God's laws.. they absolutely have the power legally, but more importantly they have the moral authority...

[stlnative]

read #27 of that thread - this is what is giving me the most hope.

[SeasideSparrow]

By the way, this just up on WND:

Those hoping Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will step forward to save Terri Schiavo from imminent, court-ordered starvation death are likely to be disappointed, based on his comments to a group of reporters following county court Judge George Greer's ruling against the state's effort to take custody of the brain-injured woman at the center of a worldwide euthanasia controversy.

While Bush reiterated his motivation to save Schiavo, based on new evidence that she is not in a persistent vegetative state and is, to some degree, conscious of her surroundings, the governor said "it isn't possible to remove her" from the hospice.

Earlier in the week, there were hints from the Bush administration that the Department of Children and Families might use force, if necessary, to stabilize Terri Schiavo and remove her from the facility.


"The judge is so focused on carrying out whatever decision he made years ago, that I guess the additional information he just rejected out of hand, and rejected the ability of the department to go in and stabilize her," he said. "It isn't possible right now to remove her. ... Given the fact that she's being starved to death it would be difficult to move her."

Bush downplayed the earlier reports about the possibility of action by the DCF.

"We never said that unilaterally we would do something that's against the court," he said. "I've been asked to do it by a lot of people – a lot of the advice I'm getting over the Internet and over television and the like. I know that there were lots of rumors of things that aren't accurate. I have a duty to uphold the law and I have been very consistent about that. It seemed like a big story that never was confirmed because it wasn't true. If we had that ability to do it, if there wasn't an injunction, we would do it right now. We would stabilize her by giving her hydration. We couldn't put a feeding tube in. There was already a court order in place. The opportunity we had was appealing his decision."

A prominent evangelical Christian leader yesterday urged Bush to disobey the judge's order barring the Florida governor from intervening to save the life of Terri Schiavo. In a statement shortly after Judge George Greer's decision, Rev. D. James Kennedy pointed to Bush "as the only legal authority who can save the life of Terri Schiavo."

Kennedy, president of Coral Ridge Ministries, said Bush "must act and he must act immediately on her behalf."

"He must disregard the order of Judge Greer," Kennedy said. "He has both the authority and the duty to do so under the state constitution."

Greer rejected Bush's request to grant the governor protective custody. On Wednesday he barred the Department of Children & Families from taking custody. Also yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a request from Terri Schiavo's parents, Robert and Mary Schindler, for an emergency order allowing her feeding tube to be reinserted.

As WorldNetDaily reported, Bush appeared to be clearing the way for the possibility unilateral action when he appeared at a news conference Wednesday to confirm the DCF, under his authority, has the legal right to remove Terri Schiavo, by force if necessary, from the hospice where she has lived the past five years.

Bush said new information had come to light warranting intervention, including a review of Terri Schiavo's condition by neurologist Dr. William Cheshire, who claims she may have been misdiagnosed. Cheshire believes Schiavo to be in a "minimally conscious state," not a "persistent vegetative state" as Greer has determined.

"It is imperative that she be stabilized so the DCF team can fulfill their statute to review the facts surrounding the case," Bush said.

Kennedy said Bush should be commended for his efforts over the past two years – which include the state legislature's passage of "Terri's Law" – but he noted those efforts "thus far has proven fruitless." The law later was declared unconstitutional.

"Neither the state legislature nor the courts, state or federal, have been willing to act on behalf of this helpless woman who is now within hours of death," Kennedy said.

Kennedy points out the Florida Constitution states in Article I, Section 2, that "[a]ll natural persons, female and male alike, are equal before the law, and have inalienable rights, among which are the right to enjoy and defend life ... ." According to the Constitution, "no person shall be deprived of any right [including the right to enjoy life] because of ... physical disability."

Similar arguments were brought to Florida's capital this morning by former Judicial Watch Chairman Larry Klayman and former presidential candidate Alan Keyes. Keyes wrote a column published yesterday by WorldNetDaily, arguing for Bush to step in and save Schiavo amid judicial abuse of the separation of powers.

"I have talked to a whole lot of people that I respect, not just now but the first time when Terri's law was passed, to make the determination of what my powers are and they are not as expansive as people would want them to be," Bush said yesterday. "And I understand, they're acting on their heart and I fully appreciate their sentiments and the emotions that go with this, but .... I've consistently said that I can't go beyond what my powers are and I'm not going to do it. There are 90,000 abortions that take place in this state every year. That troubles me more than I can ever describe, but that doesn't mean that I have some secret powers to stop that. There are a lot of things that go on in society that trouble me and this is certainly one of them. To have someone starve to death troubles me greatly and we have done everything we can and we will continue to do so within the powers that I have."

Anybody ever wonder why he chose to be a nurse??? That gal he's with now better be on her best behavior or he'll do the same thing to her that he did to Terri. How do they keep her out of the media anyway? You never see her or MS... very weird.
