Schindlers' Options Dwindle to Hearing Tonight with Federal Judge (Motion DENIED)
AP ^ | March 24, 2005

Posted on 03/24/2005 4:45:17 PM PST by West Coast Conservative

A federal court hearing has started in one of the last effort attempts by Terri Schiavo's parents to restore their daughter's feeding tube.

But the judge already has turned down the parents once. Bob and Mary Schindler are asking for an emergency order to reinsert the feeding tube in the brain-damaged woman.

The hearing in Tampa is before U.S. District Judge James Whittemore. He turned the Schindlers down once, as did a federal appeals court and the Supreme Court. A state judge, a state appeals court and the Florida Supreme Court also have all come down on the side of the husband, who wants to let his wife die after 15 years in what some doctors call a vegetative state.

The latest defeat for the Schindlers was today when a state judge said he won't go along with Governor Jeb Bush's request to order the feeding tube reinserted. The governor had said that new allegations of abuse of Terri Schiavo need to be investigated. The governor also tried to challenged the diagnosis that Terri Schiavo is in a persistent vegetative state.

"2. Serving as guardian. Neglect and abuse by him is well documented."

Obviously not well documented enough for the Supreme Court.

I think he is somebody who is currently or was recently involved in a bitter marital dispute.

" ... and prepare a report to the Governor and the Courts addressing the question as to whether or not Terri should have additional swallowing tests."

This indicates to me that they had been done.

You cannot evidence where he perjured himself in this case.

I just did. The nurses said he was lying. Terri's family said he was lying. No, I didn't hear him myself and neither did you. Everyone else would have to be lying except for Michael to believe him. I DON'T!

The affidavits were ignored by Greer, so that there could not be a hearing to depose as to the truth of the same. It is not that complicated to fabricate the record.
Please answer the question concerning the need for the supp. order.

NL, you seem to be missing the point. Estrangement does not equal Divorce.

Period!

Is MS Living with another Woman? Yes, I never questioned that for a Moment.

Why, Because it is a Fact.

However, that does NOT Equal a Divorce, nor does it nullify the Marriage.

That is a Fact.

If, as you seem to be implying, that Hugh Hewitt, Talk Show Host's opinion is so entirely unimpeachable, then why is it that the Supreme Court refused to discount MS's Marital claims, and step in and hear the case?

Perjury has to have occurred either in the first trial(negligence) where he stated he would have to take care of Terri for over 30 years. Or in the second trial where he stated that she wanted to die. You pick. Either way he perjured himself and his credibilty is impeached.

The Supreme Court doesn't deal with neglect and abuse, DCF does. DCF has been enjoined by Greer from acting upon what they've documented.

**DCF has been enjoined by Greer**

Greer has acted as a dictator.

May the Lord have mercy on us all.

REally,we are back to that argument. So many judges did not get to review his extra marital situation,because Greer did not include it in the record.
The record was purposely made inadequate, and the appeals could not review as to the facts.
Once again,this is why Congress acted to ask for a de novo review,to end that very circular process.
Again please state your own legal qualifications.Mr Hewitt is indeed a talk show host on legal matters,but he has been practicing law for over 20 years and has been law professor for 10.
His arguments regarding estrangement are very cogent unlike yours I might add.
Repeating the same thing over and over does not make it anymore true. Although given your persuasion,it seems to me that you belong to the MSM crowd where the motto seems to be :If we say it often enough ,they'll believe it."

I think Hospice uses morphine to make patients comfortable as they are going through the death process. They did on my mother. They were there continually and watched for signs of discomfort. I asked how they knew and she told me they watch for faster breathing, eyelids twitching, etc. and then put a drop in her mouth.

NL, arguing with you is like wrestling Cotton Candy.

Let's talk once you can produce a Legal Decree of Divorce for MS & TS.

Til then, the argument is moot.

No ammount of 6 degrees of Estrangement, or Hewitt's latest Sermon on the Mount changes the facts as they stand.

You can argue until your blue in the face that MS & TS's marriage is invalid, but the Legal Facts do not back up your claims, as much as you would like them to.

So with that, I wish you a good night. I need to get to bed so I can get to work and make money to pay my Child Support, Alimony, and make payments on the rather large debt my ex ran up while we were separated...

Not very nice of her. But I'm sure you would have agreed to put your life in her hands after all that.

Oh, and you got a bad lawyer. If she was out running up debt while committing adultery you will not be liable.

That's too funny.

I mean, I was out and just literally got into the FR site and went to the end and all I did was see that posting of that guy and saw that.

Yup. I think he's a let's-even-the-score-by-getting-rid-of-one-of-them, folks.
