If Michael Schiavo were a Christian Scientist, he would be in jail by now.
O'Riley asks the question.. is it FEAR of the Religious Right?
Can someone bring me up to date? I'm really at a loss of what is happening since I've been gone all day. Are we at a deadend? Is hope still alive?
I just got home and need to be updated. Any news yet? Are they still in court?
States rights.
Separation of power among the three branches.
The "Keep the tube in Terri" proponents do not want to hear this, but these are principles our nation was founded on.
Yes, states rights evaporated years ago, as did the separation of powers (with the activist judges writing law and bypassing the legislative branch).
However, it look like there is still some rigor mortis in the dead body of the U.S. Constitution. Congress should keep out of this and let Florida practice its states rights.
I don't see this posted on this thread yet. Hannity just announced that Whittemore has refused to overturn Greer's order.
Where are all the liberals who scream and scramble to preserve the lives of the most wicked murderers on death row?
Where are all the liberals who tie themselves to trees and lay down in front of tractors to protect the snail darter?
Where are all the liberals who talk about women's rights and how states cannot usurp the federal law?
Where are all the liberals who will defend child molesters and terrorists?
Where are all the liberals who are horrified by prisoners in Iraq wearing panties on their heads?
And where is the President of the United States and the Governor of Florida - who swore to uphold the federal and state Constitutions? They have forgotten that the Executive branch is an equal branch to the Judiciary. They have lost their moral compass by NOT exhibiting backbone. They need to send in Federal troops or the National Guard and let the courts know that WE THE PEOPLE will no longer allow them to
tyrannize us. No food and water? What are we becoming? This is beyond shameful - it is barbaric!
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness." --Declaration of Independence as originally written by Thomas Jefferson, 1776. ME 1:29, Papers 1:315
"Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath?" --Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia Q.XVIII, 1782. ME 2:227
"Which is the fault of the Congress and we the people. Congress allows the judiciary to walk all over it, ignoring their duty, and we allow Congress to allow it to happen."
You are absolutely right.
Terri will die because the USofA does not have 3 equal branches of government. A very large segment of the US population thinks that the Judiciary Branch is a stand alone government by itself.
