Which means the governor can act if he believes the judge to be wrong.

That he hasn't done so is disappointing, though perhaps not surprising, it doesn't change how I feel about this judge and his ruling though.

Whatever. You go ahead and revel in sanctimonious glee over the murder of this woman and I'll pray that you never find yourself in the same situation.

"This is really pathetic."

Yes it IS rather pathetic that you would be so sanctimonious as to presume that because the kids wanted to something very Christian in nature that they would be "simpleminded".

Christian in nature?

How do you know God wants somebody who's brain is basically disintegrated and cannot be revived...to linger on in a horrible vegatative state indefinitely?

What kind of God do you think we have?

How do you know He doesn't want to liberate people from these awful states of existance and bring them to Heaven?

The idea that we have simple minded adults encouraging vulnerable children to bring a glass of water to terminally ill patient doesn't mean they neccessarily have God's will in mind.

If we were to open the doors of federal courts to every losing side in a guardianship case, or a child custody case, or any other matter traditionally left to state courts, we would be changing the very nature of the balance between federal power and states' rights.

Oh, come on. This wasn't supposed to set a precedent. This situation is unique -- it involves not just custody or guardianship, but whether a disabled adult should be allowed to continue living or starved to death. This law was in the spirit of a death row appeal, not "Who gets the kids?"

"So the fix has been in since the beginning...*sigh* she never was destined to get anything close to a 'fair representation' by the courts in Florida."

This whole starvation/killing episode has waken up lots of people to the evil intentions many of our courts have. The "fix is in" is very well seen, now. I think, if we wish to save America, we're going to have to repopulate the courts with people who respect the idea that cival law is based on Natural Law.

"The chief concern of civil authorities must therefore be to ensure that these rights are recognized, respected, co-ordinated, defended and promoted, and that each individual is enabled to perform his duties more easily. For 'to safeguard the inviolable rights of the human person, and to facilitate the performance of his duties, is the principal duty of every public authority'." Gospel of Life, Chapter III, section 71. (http://www.ewtn.com/library/ENCYC/JP2EVANG.HTM#Chapter%20III)

Oh yea - it's a FreeMason conspiracy - he tried to do in his wife and failed so he gave the judge the secret wink so he can cover up the evidence.

I'm sorry I didn't know I was talking to an expert in Theology. I bow to your infinate wisdom on this your holiness.

"The idea that we have simple minded adults encouraging vulnerable children to bring a glass of water to terminally ill patient doesn't mean they neccessarily have God's will in mind."

And you are assuming facts that are not in evidence here.

What are the checks and balances on the judicial branch of government these days?

Destro why post these threads if all you're going to do is belittle and demean the people who come in and argue against your side of the issue on this?

Did you expect to post this story and have ONLY people post who agreed with you?

Why even have the debate if you can't bring your nose down out of the air long enough to discuss this rationally and minus your normal heavy dose of sarcasm?

There are no easy answers for these questions.

Your posts in this thread suggest you think you have them.

"Your posts in this thread suggest you think you have them"

I'm sorry but just WHERE did I give you that impression?

I think I am discussing this issue with cold rationality. It's your side that throws the Hitler/Nazi bombs and as you can scroll up - it was I who was flamed not the other way around.

The Schindlers have had lousy lawyering from the git go. They should have retained a top flight Constitutional lawyer like Alan Dershowitz or Davis Boise instead of a political idealogue .

Sorry, but your sentence structure was poor and made no sense. Try again with a better composition.
