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.

I agree. They are hell bent on starving Terri and they really want to starve GWB.

I can't understand WHY those who advocate
Terri's death never asked for lethal injection.

They would demand it for a criminal.

Instead they get a cheap thrill waiting for Terri to die.

Disgusting!

Nothing is extremist about that. Killing off a woman who clearly is alive and has a number of loving family willing to take care of her IS extreme. The "right wing nut" haters around here are siding with CNNABCBSNBC and Barney Frank.

Excerpts from George Felos's book, "Litigation as Spiritual Practice" (Blue Dolphin Publishing, 2002) with page numbers

About the Jews, George Felos wrote, "The Jewish people, long ago in their collective consciousness, agreed to play the role of the lamb whose slaughter was necessary to shock humanity into a new moral consciousness. Their sacrifice saved humanity at the brink of extinction and propelled us into a new age." (pg 240)

"If our minds can conceive of an uplifting Holocaust, can it be so diffucult to look another way at the slights and injuries and abuses we perceive were inflicted upon us?" (pg 240)

Describing the period he was separated from his ex-wife, "that weekend I experienced rage. Savage, unadulterated, and murderous rage." (pg 6)

Felos wrote about his ex-wife, "To her, I seemed unattractive, sexually unexciting, balding, boring, and just not enough fun to be with....she didn't need me anymore. For her, marriage to me inflicted a fate worse than death. She admitted that for the past year or so she had wished for my death, and whenever I flew hoped the plane would crash." (pg 7)

About his anger towards his ex-wife, "I was on fire, fueled by thoughts of bludgeoning and tearing her apart." (pg 23)

Describing the period he was recuperating from his divorce, "it consisted mostly of dreams of being tormented in some inferno." (pg 27)

Mrs Browning, do you want to die? Do you want to die? - I nearly shouted as I continued to peer into her pools of strikingly beautiful but incognizant blue eyes. It felt so eerie." (pg 63)

"Whatever your opinion about tube feeding, the hard fact was it now stood between Mrs. Browning and her death." (pg 64)

About Mrs. Estelle Browning "...I carried with me the resolute determination to sever the artificial cord that bound Estelle Browning to this earthly realm. Her agonized cry for release ran though my mind over and over again, and I felt our spiritual bond." (pg 76) "With my son as catalyst, I felt stirrings of my own early childhood, which was less than idyllic. I unconsciously blamed myself for permitting myself to be abused, and I believed I was, as a child. At some point early in my childhood I self-divided into a protector and the inner essence I was protecting." (pg 48)

While on a plane trip, Felos thought "I wonder what it would be like to die right now?" (pg 181)

Felos wrote that God told him, "You are more powerful than you realize." (pg 182) About the Estelle Browning case, "I still got a kick that evening seeing myself on the TV news, notwithstanding my frequently displayed countenance in the media of late."

"If I had to urinate, I didn't wait until the next commercial, I immediately got up and went. On the first urge to defecate, I left for the bathroom rather than making one more phone call." (pg 292)

"I can truly say my wife was enamored with me. I suppose power and success really are potent aphrodisiacs - as my spouse had made particularly evident our previous night at the Governor's Inn." (pg 246)

Let me get this straight: so the unelected, lifetime tenure lawyers-in-black-robes have supreme power to block Congress, the President, Governors, Legislatures ...
And who decided this? Why, unelected lifetime tenure lawyers-in-black-robes!

I think it's time we had some 'hanging judges.'

IMHO I don't think this is the time to have a petty spat on FR. Don't think our problems are anything compared to what is going on with the Schlinders.

I will ignore the pettiness from now on.

Not much fun to watch a woman murdered by the courts and her "adultery committing husband who still has the total power over Terri". And have to defend the Bushes and listen to snide remarks from those jealous of our power to also make comments on FR.

Wonder if Michael has the same power over his common law wife. Since when does a man get to have total power over two women at the same time?

Can you say that three times without taking a second breath? Cause that's how fast I zipped through it.

I'm waiting for the 2nd chapter.

Is it coming soon?

I do wish there would be a separate "support" thread for prayers and people who need to really talk about their feelings but I guess that won't happen.

While were wishing for stuff that won't happen, how about a separate thread for juvenile sniping too.

Not saying you are engaging in it, and I don't keep notes anyway. But the evidence of pure sniping can be seen by looking back and noting threads that have no function but to get a rise, or reply to the "get a rise" instigation.

Oh, no!

More of the radical right?

Have you ever seen so much violence endorsed, explicitly endorsed, on Free Republic and by conservatives?

This has had an unintended consquence. It has moved me more to the middle. And my dad thinks I'm to the right of Atilla the Hun. LOL

Sounds more like a suspicious backpack and not a called in bomb threat.

LOL!! Maybe we can launch an investigation to see who is behind the coup.

This is too funny -- during the CA Recall I was a RINO and now I am a far right winged religious nut! I just love labels. I better quit using these !'s too because someone hates them when I do that!
