TERRI SCHIAVO DAILY MARCH 2005 PART 6- NO FOOD OR WATER IN THE 6TH-7TH DAYS - GOOD FRIDAY
various | 3-24-05

Posted on 03/25/2005 12:17:45 AM PST by STARWISE

Judge George Greer ruled that the State of Florida has no right to take custody of Terri Schiavo, which ruling came hours after an appeal by Terri's parents to re-insert the feeding tube was refused by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Meanwhile, another hearing was scheduled tonight before US District Judge James D. Whittemore .. the same judge who previously heard and denied the request subsequent to the 'de novo' intention of the law past last weekend by the Congress and signed by President Bush, in an effort to confirm that no stone was left unturned before Terri would endure legally sanctioned dehydration until death.

Well, no "well-known" Christians that I know of. I was referring to others here, who claim to be "Christian" and "conservative," in the Florida senate (that King character, for instance, who claimed we were doing "God's Will" by "allowing" Terri to die), etc. There certainly have been those from both parties on the tube, both pro and con. The evil judge Greer is a republican, Jesse Jackson, Lanny Davis and Gore's ex-attorney Boise have all supported Terri. I was only trying to make the point that this isn't partisan. It's good vs evil and I'm surprised by many on both sides.

I believe he will do everything in his power to control this case, whatever his reasons are.
---
It doesn't matter what he (Greer) believes. The US STATUS QUO=LIFE is at stake. It seems George is suffering from Lame Duck syndrome. Jeb should feel nothing to loose he doesn't have much future. I think he should be looking to establish himself by looking to develop new mode for a governmental system of righeousnous he is responsible for and is a focus of failure. Jeb forcing in to right a grave murderous wrong would serve to help all. The sight of a sacrifical Governer- people would respect and forgive for the heartfelt sacrifice. People are looking for a real leader who is/would be brave enough to commit to the most opressed and righteous, right were we live. The whole world is looking at us as a society of righteousness. Nevertheless, here we are a society of Judicial sanctions of murder upon a defenseless women in the light the PETA. The Animals have more rights.. They just have to move their eyes and breath. Everyone knows that they want to live... how come they are more protected with sanction.

I would think Laura Bush must be blushing, where is Laura?

I'm Angry...

Understand, there is little here, and THAT is the crime. It's NOT about Michael Schiavo. This is about the DIRECT INVOLVEMENT of Pinellas Pasco State Attorney Bernie McCabe in making certain NO INVESTIGATIONS would occur; this is about his using his official office and influence to block the Schindler Family and ultimately their daughter Terri from accessing the police services of the Pinellas County Sheriff's office, St. Petersburg City Police, Pinellas Park Police, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Florida Attorney General Charlie Crist (whose home county and political associations are in Pinellas County Florida) -- AND -- that is important to understand given the COMMON KNOWLEDGE that McCabe has a long political association with George W. Greer who, some allege, is an office he is not legally qualified to hold; I don't know if that is true. This is a very complex web of personal, professional, political associations -- Greer, McCabe, Rice, Michael Schiavo shown favor of a job (nothing wrong with that) in the Sheriffs jail by Rice, hospice officials and board members and George Felos with influence over that organization being chairman of the board up to the moment Terri was warehoused in a darkened room with not even the joy of a toothbrush -- among others. A person directly involved in this just said to me, "McCabe has a HAMMER on this." And, a lawyer in California with lawyers on the ground in Florida said this morning, "...ANY LAWYER WHO APPROACHES ANY COURT WITH ANY ISSUE IS GOING TO BE HIT WITH HEAVY SANCTIONS." The judiciary wants this murder really bad. BUT -- AT THIS PRECISE MOMENT, focus attention on Greer-McCabe. There are serious people interested in developing a case for capital murder if Terri dies. This family, THIS WOMAN has been denied due process, PERIOD. It is a BLOT on America's CRIMINAL and CIVIL injustice system, a system not of law, but men who so despise law that they would murder this helpless aware of self disabled woman. Oh. It should be noted, there is just a bit more to go with this FDLE report, but is not ready yet for distribution.

To: supercat

You said--> Even if she were terminal, the notion that someone could be deemed under any circumstances to be incompetant to request food and water is frightening.""""


It's very frightening indeed!!

Especially since the court of Judge Greer has now set the precedent of food & water, being medical treatment. Very ridiculous, but all the courts have affirmed it. Even the United States Supreme Court.

I never thought I'd see the day when we would have to worry about starving - Not because there is NO food available - but because Food and Water could be with-held/forbidden. Very scary.

You're exactly right. Jeb isn't a man. If he were, and there truly was nothing he could do legally (whatever) he could at least be having hour after hour after hour pressers. He could be in front of the nation dispelling each and every lie the media has put forth to the American public. He could be telling the world Terri's side. He could be denouncing Greer, hino, and Felos. But no, he's eating dinner right now with his family behind the closed doors of the most powerful house in Florida - make that the second most powerful with the first being the Greer Reaper's courtroom.

Hi Jane,
KVI Seattle radio station has aired the affidavits filed into court.
If everyone called and called the F.B.I. and demanded they protect Terri, they would have to do it. I sent this to Jeb Bush, and the President Bush Under Article III they have the power and the case can sort out later. Save her life! Now!

The judges only have power during good behavior and having a conflict of interest with being buddies with her husbands attorney he should of recused hisself. (They belong to the right to die group. )

I can't reach any of the clubs, short on time...

Try and reach the talk shows like Art Bell @ aol.com or Art Bell@mindspring
coasttocoastam. KVI radio. etc. they have millions of listeners.

Take care, I will pray for Terri,
Julie WA.State

Thanks. I try not to intrude on others but there is a tendency sometimes for people on this site to beat up the people who at least try.

My heart is breaking for Terri, for her mom and dad, for her brother and for Jeb. I am sure he looks at Terri and thinks of his own children and is just as frustrated if not more so than we are.

I pinged you three for various diverse reasons... primarily for this:

EV, have you seen this? LEADER EXCLUSIVE: Schiavo supporters are "Christian extremists" so says GOP State Senator's Legislative Aide http://www.illinoisleader.com/news/newsview.asp?c=23962

Sadly, that sort of bigotry and thoughtless stereotyping is typical of what we "not on the Left" face. It's hard to take, besides being grossly unfair and inaccurate.

EternalVigilance knows me via the telephone- Tom, how are you?- and can at least say that I don't appear to be a fire-breathing, bible-pounding fanatic in normal conversation. My wife & I are lifelong Episcopalians, but due to her years of work at the local Synagogue, have had no fewer than four different Rabbis dub us "honorary Jews." She also belongs to the Temple Sisterhood. Darned if I can see a "fanatic" around this house.

Pepper777, like you, I've been sending The Empire Journal's new information far and wide, and people are waking up. Sadly, it is probably too late, but at least we are trying.

My wife's a self-described "new deal democrat," ( think Scoop Jackson or Zell Miller, not the newer thuggish breed ) and she's horrified by all this.

The testimony of that woman who had come out of a PVS floored her, and opened her eyes. She calls what we are bearing witness to "killing under the color or authority," and she's right.

"I can't believe this country has no laws to stop this."

There is no VALID law forcing us to accept Terri's dehydration and starvation. Somehow, very quickly, people have to realize that they don't have to follow an invalid court order.

"Authority is a postulate of the moral order and derives from God. Consequently, laws and decrees enacted in contravention of the moral order, and hence of the divine will, can have no binding force in conscience...; indeed, the passing of such laws undermines the very nature of authority and results in shameful abuse".95 This is the clear teaching of Saint Thomas Aquinas, who writes that "human law is law inasmuch as it is in conformity with right reason and thus derives from the eternal law. But when a law is contrary to reason, it is called an unjust law; but in this case it ceases to be a law and becomes instead an act of violence".96"....Gospel of Life Chapter III, Section 72.
