I started it at the point in the timeline where Governor Bush intervened. God knows Lawton Chiles never did one damned thing while he was governor.

"The President [note the capitalization] can do no such thing. He can only write executive orders dealing with Executive departments of the Federal Government. He can't write executive orders having to do with state matters."

You may be right about this. I wish he could pardon her...ya know...like real criminals who are imprisoned can be pardoned...

This whole thing is comletely messed up.

[Alex Marko]

I dont like how everyone is calling Greer an Activist judge, i think that is completely unfair.

[Stellar Dendrite]

"And boy howdy! If Michael Weiner gets his dander up and vents, watch out!"

I will be tuning in tonight to hear just that

[tx_eggman]

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 read

The only ice here is in my drink .... wade fishing in Galveston Bay starts in about 3 weeks. The surf is up to 68 degrees and warming fast.

[Terriergal]

Let's just hope that a society like that doesn't come to pass...

Yeah, let's just hope.

[Military family member]

Someone suggested yesterday that everyone Fed Ex, UPS or DHL a bottle of water to Terri.

[MineralMan]

"There will be shots. This may not be the event that precipitates it. But it will come in time."

Nonsense!

[mjtobias]

Agree.

Judge Greer's decree to starve Terri has NO AUTHORITY. People must REFUSE to starve her!!!!!!!

[utahagen]

I'm confused. Didn't Greer already say, "no" to this?

[soccermom]

Yep -- men like that don't change and I'm betting that, sometime in the future, Michael's "new" wife comes out with allegations of abuse.

[Terriergal]

The enemy naively believes that they can destroy our country gradually and w/o fighting a shot.

They can. *If people don't do anything.*

[Chad Fairbanks]

Well, let's just hope that Miltary Family Member doesn't have their "Pings" page set to "Full"... wow...

[Stellar Dendrite]

Greer just denied the request, heard it on the news.

[EllaMinnow]

Seize Terri as victim/witness/evidence in an investigation of attempted murder? That is what he can and should and must do, now. Now.

And if he can't, nothing he's done counts, right?

[TonyInOhio]

Per ABC Radio News: Judge Greer has denied motion of Florida DCF to take custody of Terri Schiavo.

I believe this was the last legal appeal pending.

[JonDavid]

That's all is in the past. All the chips are on the table. Terri's life is now about to end by State Murder. NOW will Jeb CALL or FOLD!!!!

[utahagen]

OK, so the predictable has happened. Jeb Bush and the DCF must grab Terri NOW! Please, God, hear our prayer. Amen.

[Terriergal]

People must REFUSE to starve her!!!!!!!

Oh gosh, but they don't want to lose their jobs. They'd have a picket line if they weren't getting enough per hour, but they can't hold a sit down strike for this lady?

[Glenmerle]

It's so easy for me or anyone else to sit here and just demand that someone do something. So easy and so convenient.

I look at it a little differently. I think posters are justifiably angry that people who have the power to do something won't do it. Freepers in Florida and Indiana don't have any power. They wouldn't make it to the hospice door.

Our politicians, on the other hand, have at least some measure of power, and yet they are refusing to use it. Not at the risk of going to jail--as a Freeper surely would--but at the risk of looking bad or getting a judicial slap on the wrist. I'm angry at those who could do something and won't, not at posters who express understandable frustration.
