Why did Bush bother going to the court for permission rather than just seizing Terri?

Because they are spineless political hacks.

And when is this judge going to be removed from office?

Its called Checks and Balances!

That is precisely why the legislature and the executive must act against the judiciary. They have an independent duty to act.

I just heard one of the attorneys interviewed on Fox. He said that Federal District Judge Whitmore has asked for briefs by 3 p.m. on the issue of whether the Florida statutory scheme that allows the removal of the intubation is constitutional since it does not provide any guidelines to the Court in application of the statute. Did anyone else hear this?

Probably because he does not want to defy the rulings of federal and state judges. We cannot have government officials running amuck, there has to be some law and order here. Remember Elian? How many of you were pleased with officials seizing him?

[WoodstockCat]

could be the cover of asking first also; when asked at a press conference the governor's counsel believed they had the authority. It could be that by saying that in public they hoped to indicate their end game...who knows.

Even some liberal legal commentators this morning were saying that on the state agency issue the executive branch has the better argument, just as teh judiciary was in a good position to uphold the judge's earlier rulings. IF the federal judge is an honest man, he might find this rebuff of the state agency violated Terri's rights.

"We cannot have government officials running amuck, there has to be some law and order here."

This arguement was made at the Nuremburg trials.

I live in Pinellas Park. He was challeneged by an opponent who hammered Greer on the Schiavo case and outspent and out advertized Greer by over 400 to 1. The campaign was based upon Greer mishandling the case. That being said, Greer was re-elected last November with 65% of the vote with heavy turnout. Greer also had an (R) next to his name, not a (D) as some may suspect.

[My2Cents]

Amen.

[ColoCdn]

I wasn't pleased, but it was legal.

Jeb's action would be legal, as well.

And other people other than me wouldn't be pleased. Too bad.

Apparently none of the ravin' nutters need facts, hysterics and hyperbole seem to suffice.

the issue of whether the Florida statutory scheme that allows the removal of the intubation is constitutional since it does not provide any guidelines to the Court in application of the statute.

Hmm, wonder why this came up? And who brought that to the attention of the court?

[finnman69]

It's over.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

My understanding is that he's a Clinton hack, though, despite the R. Clinton wasn't known to support or consort with very many true conservatives. I may be wrong about this, though.

Jim Jeffords had an R next to his name, too.
