Police 'Showdown' Averted ['Team of State Agents Were En Route to Seize Terri']

[DoughtyOne]

We hold these truths to be self–evident, That all men are created equal, That they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable 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.

[Libertina]

I heard that District Court Judge (lowly vermin) sent orders to all police/sheriffs that they were NOT to assist the Governor. He sent a restraining order to Child Protective Services NOT to take Terri and help her. He is on a megalomiacal power trip and INTENT on killing this woman.

NY now requires a prescription for insulin

The rule wasn't changed all that long ago, though.

[Sgt_Schultze]

Well saie, sad, but spot on.

[SolomoninSouthDakota]

Sure does. What was that saying? All hat, no cattle?

[Windcatcher]

Hear, hear. I strongly suspect that the Left wants her dead for no more reason than that we want her to live. The depth of their hatred allows them no more than to oppose anything conservatives seek, regardless of the outcome.

[Army Air Corps]

Oy veh. I am not talking about Art Bell stuff. I am talking about public records that have been made available here. Before you insult someone, at least ask for the link to the data.

[Lexinom]

EVERYONE with a conscience yearns for justice.

Many feel powerless, however.

If a little judge can stop the governor of the state from upholding the constitution of that state AND there is a human life at stake - God help us.

What is most disgusting is how successfully the media have drilled their lies into the public mind: "Permanent Vegetative State"; "Coma"; my favorite, "Brain-Dead". It's a "right to die" case, not a "right to kill" or "right to live".

Will the truth ever come out? Will history record this the way it has been reported? Will some media-duped uninformed moron (one of the 60% or so of Americans who wants Terri dead) be penning the history books on this subject? Will Terri be remembered as a pioneer in the right-to-die movement?

[Antoninus]

"Randall Terry just said live on Foxnews that Jeb was on his way over this morning to get Terri with a team of people, and were told by Greer that if he attempts to take custody of Terri there will be police force stopping you. He said at that point Jeb BLINKED!! he got SCARED! 3/24/05"

If that's true, Jeb Bush should just resign now. Judge Greer is governor of Florida.

[Fitzcarraldo]

What kind of scientific or medical training did MS have at the time he married Terri?

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

I assume you also saw Nurse Trudy, shortly after the dumb cop.........I'll swear that Trudy was about to reveal that she and MS had a fling during her first term of employment at a facility where Terri was during the malpractice trial......this is the Nurse who swears that MS told her several times that he and Terri NEVER even discussed tubesm etc........Greta was trying to find out how/why Trudy and MS kbew each other so well, and cut her off with the same premonition I had......this is only my opinion, of course, but I wonder if others might have had the same thought......Trudy looks like a fun gal, esp 12 years ago :)

[rocksblues]

I agree. They are trying to paint this tragedy as a loss for Bush.

But I live in New Jersey and have not met or found a person that is in favor of what is being done to this woman!

The Left is claiming that the Right is doing this to appeal to their religious base, while the real agenda here is that the left has no use for unproductive members of their society.

[jpsb]

This issue is going to finish both Bushes, the perception is out there and with good reason that the Bush brothers are just using Terry to play politics. That will cause an unbelievable backlash against both.

Fox is reporting that the size of the protesting crowd is large and growing. Death threats flying and arrests common.

This is not NAZI Germany, and the American people will not tolerate a government that murders innocents for the crime of being helpless.

[NorCalRepub]

I would presume my first right was to life and liberty, but unfortunatley, there are exceptions, right to die cases everyday....you can point a finger at me, but it will not change the aspects of this case.......yes, Terri is being allowed to die.....some say murdered......my position would be that her hubby should have relinquished quardianship a long time ago......but absent that.......I think I would follow the law.....no matter how disgusting it is

[jstolzen]

Their political careers are pretty much over if they don't enforce the subpoena.

Gee, think Frist will pull the nuclear option? </sarc off>

[northernlightsII]

Funny,in a very sad way.

[DuncanWaring]

...they have to enforce the law, not their convictions or whims...

Ever hear of a place called "Nuremberg"?

[Antoninus]

There might have been bloodshed, so the decision was made not to go in.

With the governor on site, there would not have been bloodshed. If you think that, you're looney.

If this story is true, Jeb Bush has been exposed as a wimp extrordinaire and not half the poker-player his brother is. He fell for the bluff.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

It's no use, Lisa. People need a scapegoat, and Jeb Bush has been chosen. He has been one of Terry Schiavo's strongest advocates for years...but nobody cares.

[SolomoninSouthDakota]

You apparently lack all understanding of a christian perspective. I'm not faulting you, just getting a reading. Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, you do unto me. Those cops just gave Christ the shaft. If you're not Christian you should take no offense. But I'de think some of those southern cops were christian and they sure should.
