3 pm? What happened to noon?

Betcha Felos is pulling those strings. The more hours he can get this tied up in one court or another, the more likelihood that Terri will suffer further and possibly die in the interim. Thus the demand that if the Schindlers won any stay, that they (Michael and Felos) be granted an 8-hour window for appeal before the tube could be reinserted.

Greer forbids DCF from picking up Schiavo

Thursday, March 24, 2005

Greer had a busy day Wednesday.

There is concern about the Department of Children and Families possibly removing Terri Schiavo from her Pinellas Park hospice.

Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Court Judge George Greer issued an order Wednesday to forbid that from happening or any other type of interference by DCF or people acting on their behalf.

Michael Schiavo's attorney, George Felos, contacted Greer after getting word that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement was planning to escort DCF investigators to the Woodside Hospice to pick her up, keep her for 24 hours and rehydrate her.

"Since it appears imminent that the department is likely to do something in contravention of that rule of law, this court is going to grant the oral motion," said Greer.

Greer's mandate said anyone that gives Schiavo treatment is breaking the law and will be held in contempt of court. It also put the Pinellas sheriff in charge of the situation in order to make sure FDLE doesn't try to remove Schiavo anyway.

Yes it is all up the Jeb. The supreme court has acted by following the same pattern of the previous courts - stall. If they were going to do the correct thing it would have been done by now. The tactics for the Judicial system is stall stall stall - the longer they stall the closer it gets to the end of the road and they know that.

It's like they need to keep the denial of food and water legal to soot their own conscience.

JUDGE GREER ORDERS PINELLAS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE TO BLOCK FDLE FROM TAKING TERRI INTO PROTECTIVE CUSTODY

"Since it appears imminent that the department is likely to do something in contravention of that rule of law, this court is going to grant the oral motion," said Greer.

The Good Ol' Boy network runs deep. There were already reports of one of the top DCF officials being a pal of Greer. No doubt he has plenty of contacts on the inside that will keep him one step ahead of the governor.

I can't believe that the legislators have been threatened. That is wrong and no one should ever do that. However, we know that Dems have voted for TErri's life and it seemed to be implied that the conservatives are making the threats. That's a prejudicial position because we have bipartisan agreement that Terri should live just as there is bipartisan agreement for her death.

rule of law

Oh, the irony is rich in that statement by Greer. The one who has flaunted the law and decreed his own word as law demands that DCF follow the law, despite the fact that numerous Florida Statues give them not only the power but the obligation to intervene.

Perhaps Governor Bush should be less direct in his efforts to save Terri. Florida law only allows termination of life support for patients with a specific diagonisis of PVS. The diagnosis for Terri was made many years ago. Perhaps the Florida legislature should amend that statute permitting such terminations of life support and add a requirement that, before such a life support termination can be carried out, a corroborative diagnosis of PVS must be made within six months prior to the life support termination.

More importantly, there must be a protocol by which doctors who want to show non-PVS are allowed to do so and override those who want to show PVS. Some of Dr. Death Cranford's PVS diagnoses are so patently unreasonable one would think he was looking in a mirror.

Judge Greer Thumbs His Nose at Gov Bush

"The executive is certainly not superior," Judge Greer said. "The executive is unable to go behind the final judgment of this court."

Laura Ingraham just mentioned Greer forbidding DCF to take Terri into protective custody.

They need to move and get that girl hydrated asap!

What they are thinking they are voting for is her right to refuse treatment.

But the method they used to certify her wishes and the doctors they used to prove she was in pvs were slanted to make sure they would get this rule.

And including hydration as one of the "extraordinary means" of sustaining life means anybody in any physical shape who cannot answer for themselves because of a handicap, but has someone who will claim that they were told they didn't want to go on if they were in this type of physical shape can be put to death.

Morally, we need a presumption for life.

Legally, that probably has to be done on the state level.

Obviously, it's not they way they do it in Florida!

Lord, keep Terri and those who love her always in the palm of your hands.

Lord, if possible, let the light of day and justice and right shine onto any and all wickedness involved in what they are doing here.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

I've been saying the same for days. When my husband worked in law enforcement, he had a partner that had moved to the dept. from clearwater. He said that the cops down there in Clearwater and Pinellas all use the good-ol' boy system, as well as the lawyers and judges. It's "who you know and where you could go" down there. The cops who do not like it put up or shut up. Scary thought? Pray for the people praying at the hospice. Floriduh, be careful!!!
