the Bushes did not murder her.
The problem is that they did not save her.
I'm shocked by some of the comments I've seen regarding this issue. I'm a libertarian and I cannot understand how anyone cannot see that this is a blatant violation of this woman's most basic right. Her right to life.
memory eternal to Terri
Lord have mercy on us all
Must have happened right after he ordered the police to throw her family out. Words can't describe the rage I feel towards that POS.
And I am saying that the precedent this case has set calls into question whether or not the paradigm established up to now will continue. Citing past history is fine as far as it goes, but need I remind you and others that there was a time in this country's past were the courts stood as guardians of inalienable rights. They have now become the dispensers of them, granting the right to live or die to innocent persons as the courts decide, with no regard to what has been up to now an inalienable right.
Like I said, give me enough hearsay evidence from witnesses that may or may not have a conflict of interest, the ear of a sympathetic (perhaps conflicted) judge, and I will shred any document you might have claimed held sway, especially if you are unable to give voice to your present desires.
Just got back from the WPPFF, my hair is standing on end. I felt like I was in High School listening to the popular kids stroke each others egos.
They all bare the guilt of her death. Only living in denial of the part they played in her murder will serve them. "They could have", that will be the millstone around their necks.
And when mourning time is over, FIGHT.
Anyone listening to Rush right now? He's reading the opinion of Judge Birch (sp?), the judge who effectively put the last nail in Terri's coffin. It's frightening. He apparently believes himself above the president and Congress. Rather than taking time to review the facts of Terri's case, he took 15 hours to write an opinion that, in part, chastises the executive and legislative branches for interfering, as well as the public for daring to question the judiciary.
I know where my battle's going to be for the next few years.
Yup, injustice existed and still exists. We need to fix it, and we need to fix it right. Otherwise someone will just "fix" us because the Sheriff always has the biggest gun.
You have more fortitude than I going in there.
BTW, you don't have to go there to see them stroke each others' egos. There is plenty of it going on around here too :(
It's pretty nasty back there.
Interestingly, along with the usual martyr complexes and sarcasm, several have pondered leaving FR. However, I highly doubt any of them would actually leave.
They sound just like the Dems post-Nov 4th.
HONOR HER SPIRIT BY ADOPTING THE DETERMINATION AND THE RESOLVE TO CHANGE the inherently corrupt nation ruled by judicial anarchists, executive tyrants and legislative nihilists that WE'VE CREATED. CHANGE DEMANDS COURAGE AND SACRIFICE AND BEGINS WITH THE INDIVIDUAL MINDSET - WAKE UP FOLKS !!!!
Trying times.
I've looked there's not much out there.
"Now we will see "Case Law" euthanasia based on the Terri case."
Yes, legislation from the bench, again. The 11ths refutation of the argument that Terri's rights being violated did not cite a single law that was passed by a legislature. It cites the 'law of the case', decisions by other judges. Nowhere in the Constitution have I found the authorization for the Judicial Branch to enforce 'case law'. Nowhere have I seen the authorization for the Judicial Branch to even make law, be it 'case' or otherwise.
So we are no longer under the Constitution. We are under rule of a Man, known as Judge. Our very lives are at peril.
Our Founders would have spoken but two words... "To Arms!"
Now you can dedicate your out of control emotions to getting Hillary Clinton elected as the next president and giving Congress back to the Rat party.
What the hell does Hillary have to do with this? Absolutely nothing.
Maybe you could start your own?
I am not saying that at all. I am saying that this case has set a dangerous precedent. By allowing hearsay evidence to be decisive in a matter of life or death for an innocent person, the court has placed in grave peril the prior wishes of any person who may have expressed them. A skillful barrister can always find a way to pile up enough hearsay evidence to tip the "clear and convincing" standard against you.
What is the solution? The original vision of the founders, wherein the three branches of government were coequal. Such is not the case now, not by a long shot.
// And I cannot abide the self-righteousness of her killers. //
and those who are supporting them. (what's with some posters here? were they not needed on other ongoing issues like gun rights and landgrabs, that they had the time and need to so actively disparage those who were trying to help in this grievous injustice against Terri and her parents?)
There is an ACTIVE effort to redefine Terri's situation and death, and that's where I see the next battle, for those who have eyes and hearts to be concerned.
