Michael Schiavo Files Request With the SCOTUS, USSC Refuses to Take Schiavo Case

[ConservativeMan55]

Mod note: Calls for violence will result in suspensions

Michael Schiavo has filed a petition with the Supreme Court asking them to stay out of the case.

I understand too...I am my mother's only daughter, and I have one child...a daughter.

I'm nauseated that these people are so determined to have this poor woman die.

It's like watching her being stoned to death and nobody is willing to stop it.

[MizSterious]

Don't even think of it. It would only martyr him. No doubt we'd be seeing his hideous visage on teeshirts and black velvet "paintings" for years to come. (Shudder)

[BigEdLB]

That could happen. Brothers who are close as these two are... don't you think that if they have something up thier collective sleeves, they planned it out last night waiting for Europe's Favorite Judge, Anthony Kennedy, to deny the appeal...

[MineralMan]

"Or colons."

As for me, I'm very fond of my colon. I would regret not being able to use it.

[Rutles4Ever]

Devastating. What has happened to our two great nations?

I woke up in the Third Reich, you woke up in Holland...

[TigersEye]

It's called the appeals process, and that has run its course. Judges are overturned all the time. In this case, Greer was not overturned. What there is not is a way for the Executive to simply override a judicial decision.

First, I don't want the decision summarily overturned I want it reviewed. That brings us to the appeals process you say has run its course. Not one higher court has actually reviewed this case. Every one has refused to review based on the merits. That means the merits of the appeal as written not the merits of the Schindler/Schiavo case.

There is deep corruption here and many of us know it. If the appeals have been poorly made then that is very sad indeed but I suspect, as do many of us, that the appeals were wrongly rejected even if it is nothing more than cronyism. I think it's a united front put up by the judiciary.

I can't include the U.S. SC because they don't hear appeals when every other court has rejected them. I hope their rejection was mandatory though not just "proper." If they had any legal standing to hear it they should have considered the gravity of the situation.

Randall Terry is a total turn-off to me and always has been -- bad choice for a spokesman!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Probably. That's why I'd fight a two pronged front. One to keep her alive, even at prospect of federal or state troop intervention, and the other to put up a shield around her after she dies, so that no evidence about her treatment in previous years could be obliterated by immediate cremation.

The Florida DCF just may be able to order the second one, that's right.

[Lazamataz]

The difference is that I'm laughing AT Laz, and I'm laughing TOWARD you.

And I'm laughing WITH you, and AROUND BibChr.

[Rightly Biased]

Not going there. Just a ponder.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

No, what's truly pathetic is your lack of explanation of the details of this case.

Greer is guilty of judicial misconduct.

He refused relevant testimony and evidence from the defendants (Terri's parents).

He refused a second opinion from a non-court appointed neurologist (Michael's neurologist).

A neurologist for DCF and the mayo clinic has stated that there may have been a misdiagnosis. Evidence like this in a capital case would certainly result in a stay-of-execution.

This judge directly refused to obey legislation enacted specifically for this case.

This judge IS acting as a tyrant and abusing his power on the bench. Any HONEST judge would have ordered a trial de novo...ESPECIALLY since a woman's life is at risk AND this case will DEFINITELY be used as precedent in the future, whenever any spouse wants to get rid of an inconvenience.

This is without doubt and inarguably a case of judicial tyranny. This one judge, backed by other judges who are also activists, is directly flying in the face of both the executive and legislative branches, just as Jefferson predicted they would.

[BigEdLB]

That could happen. Brothers who are close as these two are... don't you think that if they have something up thier collective sleeves, they planned it out last night waiting for Europe's Favorite Judge, Anthony Kennedy, to deny the appeal...

[wku man]

I dunno...I said nothing about Michael Schiavo, or anyone for that matter. However, the subject of the book is well known amongst us right wing, fringe, kooky, nucases. I will leave it at that, as I love FReep and don't want to be suspended.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[MadIvan]

Just as Clinton caused the rebirth of the conservative movement as a political force, I dare say this case will cause the rebirth of the conservative movement as a social and moral force.

What is this one about?

Ultimately, the Achilles Heel of our legal system, the apparently inability to correct a gross injustice once a single trial judge issues a finding of fact, even when the basis for the finding is extremely weak, completely hearsay based, and subject to great debate.

Upon reviewing the famous story of Solomon, the legal system has decreed that the baby must literally be split in half.

[ex 98C MI Dude]

Sodomites have rights according to SCOTUS, but a disabled woman doesn't have a right to live? Yep, definitely the enforcement arm of the ACLU.

Most judges are lawyers. There are some good lawyers; most are the dregs of humanity, having checked that humanity at the door of the law school and neglected to redeem it upon graduation. So it stands to reason that the judiciary would be filled with these type of inhumane monsters, who believe the robes are power, and power is made to be exercised.

So the judiciary is no longer a branch of government. It is the enemy of the people. Congress must act with haste to slay that beast and bring it back into the fold of We the People. Or they themselves will be unemployed.

[Cboldt]

I think GWB later said (in the course of Q&A during his podium time with Vincente Fox) that the Federal Executive had done all it could.

The proper agent of action is the Florida executive anyway. It's a Florida judge that is out of whack, and/or an out-of-whack Florida law. It is the executive's prerogative to enforce, and as with all the other branches, to exercise the minimum force, at the latest time, necessary to effectuate the desired result. All three branches are servants of the people, and there are checks and balances all around.

[Rightly Biased]

Same here just a ponder. I'll let it go.
