I'm not against doing something - I just want it done within a lawful structure, and I don't think demanding that the Bush brothers seize control "or else" is productive.

Now you've done it. I'm going to leave this thread and go work on my boat. The ice is almost off the lakes here (wishful thinking) and I need to get ready.

The president can write an executive order to get Terri into a hospital immediately. It is not breaking any law to do so. The judge can still take time to ruminate over this case. This action would not interfere with the judge. And since Greer already flaunted a Congressional subpoena his ruling is highly questionable.

Executive orders are lawful. They've been written by presidents ever since Washington on a number of different issues.

Contacting the president and ask him to write an executive order immediately. If you cannot reach him, then contact your state senators and representatives.

As a journalist, I probably would be there, with my camera and tape recorder. I hate to make the claim since it is so easy to do when I obviously cannot go.

Well said. During the past week, the Bush's first tried to pass this on to Congress, then to Federal Appeals Court, then to the US supreme Court,then FL. Social Services, then back to Greer. Enough!! If you both believe what you say, then have some BA***!!!

Then what was that press conference about yesterday, assuring everyone that DCF could take her? I'm sorry, I speak out of frustration and utter, helpless anger here.... I do believe Jeb Bush is a good man trying to do the decent thing, but I just don't understand this --- why the governor of the state can't just remove her. Sweet Lord, he can keep a serial murderer from the electric chair! He can't keep a helpless woman from being starved???? I am sick with rage. I refuse to believe this can take place all the while "i refuse to believe this can take place all the while "good leaders" behave so (seemingly) impotent!!!

OK - so Jeb rushes in and grabs her - and then has 3-4 days of review time - before greer can then vacate it and order the re-taking of Terri and taking the tube out again - and Terri's suffering and murder is prolonged. You want that? (THAT would be "for show") If he can act and be assured that this wont happen - he will.... thank your lucky stars you aren't in the position of trying to save her only to end up prolonging her agony. I believe he's trying to find an avenue that assures she can be rescued with being taken back in 3-4 days - thus prolonging this barbaric murder?

No, the problem is that those powers were ceded long ago, by other people. The tyranny of the judiciary did not happen overnight; it has been growing for many a long year now, unopposed, and it's not going to be undone in a day. The Bushes would end up impeached and/or in jail for what you are suggesting, the country would be torn apart, and our enemies would strike.

The fight lies with us. It is time for Americans to do everything possible to shake this judicial tyrant off our backs. But the day after Terri dies, everybody is going to forget this, and it will be back to judicial tyranny as usual. Next stop, gay "marriage" imposed on all the states, euthanasia for infants that survive abortions, the removal of all (Christian and Jewish) religious symbols not only from public buildings but from view, etc.

Schiavo kills Terri’s cats.

http://hyscience.typepad.com/hyscience/2005/02/michael_schiavo_1.html Has this there:

In May of 1992, at the apex of the romance, Schiavo had Terri’s 2 pet cats euthanized to clear the way for his moving in with Cindy and her pet dog.

ALSO right here on FR...look for 'Cats' in the paragraph:

Also, I'm waiting for people to state Rush is now a coward because he isn't urging Jeb storm the hospice.

True. Even a lot of folks in here think that one of the Bush's should storm the place. My instincts would LOVE to see someone storm the place. That's just human nature, but the fact is that storming the place would do nothing but perpetrate more evil.

This is so stupid. Just send in people go get her and arrest that stinking judge and another Marvin that tries to top them.

from Probe Ministries

In the Old Testament there are a number of prominent examples of civil disobedience. In Exodus 1 and 2, when Pharaoh commanded the Hebrew midwives to kill all male Hebrew babies, they lied to Pharaoh and did not carry out his command.

The book of Daniel has a number of instructive examples. In Daniel 3, for example, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to bow down to the golden image and were cast into the fiery furnace.

In Daniel 6 the commissioners and satraps had King Darius make a decree that no one could make a petition to any god or man for thirty days. Daniel nevertheless continued to pray to God three times a day and was cast into the lion's den.

The most dramatic example of civil disobedience in the New Testament can be found in Acts 4 and 5. When Peter and John were commanded not to preach the gospel, their response was, "We must obey God rather than men" (Acts 5:29).

Notice that in each of these examples there are at least two common elements. First, there was a direct, specific conflict between God's law and man's law....
Second, in choosing to obey God's higher law, believers paid the normal consequence for disobedience.

It make me wonder. Or worry may be a better word.

Look. I don't know what the right answer here is. There is no perfect solution. I hate seeing her in her current condition and I don't know if I would want to be maintained that way, but starving her to death is flat out wrong.
