"There's the Federal Disability Act and also the right to life guaranteed in the Constitution. Also, there have been numerous violations of the Florida Constitution include Florida's Disability laws."

Or do you wanna channel yer anger towards something constructive and help us figger out how to bring the Judiciary Branch back within the Constitutional system of Checks and Balances? I say we work on getting the Judiciary back in line!!

It is wasted effort for us to "work" on bringing the judiciary back in line at this point.

The executive and legislative branches have the duty and the responsibility to check the judicial branch.

Both Bush's along with the US legislature have already shown us that they are incapable of doing so.

We the people can't get anything done of our elected officials are too cowardly to do their freak'n jobs.

Judge Greer is Republican supported by the Republican party. Two of the three judges were Republicans that heard the appeal above him. Half the Republican commentators have not supported Terri's rights. Until the feeding tube was pulled Rush Limbaugh ignored Terri's case. Everyone excused him, because he had a case pending and believed wrongly that he could not say anything. Well his case is still pending, but he waits until the tube is pulled to weigh in on this case.

Until this happened, I was not afraid of the executive branch, fulfilling their duty. I thought the Bush brothers would act to protect our rights. I am more worried about the executive and the legislative branch rolling over and playing dead, than I am the legislative branch. We supposedly have three coequal branches of the government, not one supreme judicial branch. This is a travesty that cannot be fixed by appointing more Republican judges. Supreme Court Judge Anthony Kennedy was appointed by a Republican. The executive and legislative branch must uphold the Constitution as well.

Republicans are in charge of the House, the Senate, the WhiteHouse, the Florida Governorship and they say they can't do anything. I just don't believe it. The House Bill which was far superior to the Senate bill, could not get through both houses of Congress in tact. All they needed was a majority and the President's signature. The House and Senate issued subpoenas, which were promptly ignored. Since when can a subpoena issued by Congress be ignored. Do we get to pick and choose which laws are followed.
