The Pope is rallying, too. The MSM must be gnashing their teeth, they were all set to launch the Papal death watch. Well, they'll have to rely on M. Jackson for a few more weeks.

"The United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida shall have jurisdiction to hear, determine, and render judgment on a suit or claim by or on behalf of Theresa Marie Schiavo for the alleged violation of any right of Theresa Marie Schiavo under the Constitution or laws of the United States relating to the withholding or withdrawal of food, fluids, or medical treatment necessary to sustain her life.
Guess what? That's a due process review."
You are saying that a Florida court has some right to determine the meaning of US laws and the US constitution?
I think the US constitution itself gives the power to determine what the US constitution means directly to the US Supreme Court. Not some state court.
Also, how can Terri have received due process when she was never in court and she had no voice (attorney) speaking for her?
In essence, she was not allowed to face her accusers in court. She got the death penalty for not being able to speak for herself.
Most likely. Do you by any chance know the exact time of Terri's passing?
You know that reminds me of the statement Jim Robinson made some time back about we need to have a common cause to get Bush elected and get conservative judges- that our overwhelming concern should be activist judges. He caught alot of flak for that as I recall. He's absolutely right though.

He was quite prescient, no doubt there. And now we see even more so how important it is to get rid of, by attrition, activist judges.
He is adorable!!
Depends on the policy.
If it simply paid on death (rather than for instance an accidental death policy) it doesn't matter how she died.
"Does anyone here know the exact time that Terri passed?"
I've heard two different times: 9:00 am and 9:05 am.
Is that what was across her picture? I saw it before it was blacked out. I couldn't read what is said, but it irritated me that someone would splash words across the picture.
9:03 am est I believe. According to what I saw on foxnews earlier.
That was the amount of money...$300,000...that Michael spent/went through when he went to nursing school to learn how to care for Terri. This is among the listed items...what went where out of the settlement funds. Presumably he paid himself a salary and living expenses, reasonable. Don't know how long he went to school, though.
Thanks for the good conversation- time for me to hit the hay.
God Bless you and yours
Born right before Terri died too... 8.57 AM ... very odd...
The United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida is a federal court, which is empowered to do exactly that.
Also, how can Terri have received due process when she was never in court and she had no voice (attorney) speaking for her?
She had guardians ad litem appointed at various points throughout, and as her legal guardian, the whole point to this was that Michael Schiavo was empowered to speak for her. The Schindlers disagreed with his decisions, obviously, but this is the presumption that the law makes - that your next of kin is empowered to speak on your behalf. Don't see much we can or should do to change that, unfortunately.
In essence, she was not allowed to face her accusers in court.
This is probate, not criminal - there are no "accusers" in the sense you're thinking.
Try to have a good night. Enjoyed our talk; see you on another thread another night. It's late.
'Night.
Please do not post a link to hal turnerSorry 'bout that. I was pinging for the pic of Terri there.
I had no idea of the type of other content on that link
when I posted it. My mistake.
What a beautiful boy---he truly is, a good-looking guy--
Congratulations again---3 boys, huh? WOW--Mom is gonna deserve a Medal of Honor after raising 3 boys (or 4, if you include Daddy) LOL

Yes, it was a link to neo-nazi type web site--not what anyone (well, almost anyone) would want to see on Terri's picture. I reported it to the moderators so they could delete the posts that linked it. It would be a disgrace to Terri and her family.
It's been a long awful day. Kiss your children good night and hold them close, pbrown. I pray for you and your child.
Good night to you and God Bless you.
A few weeks back, when several lawyers were 'round tabling' Terri's predicament on tv, one, Fox's Judge Napolitano, said past judicial action in her case had been akin to being a bump on a log, with each successive ruling validating the one before, in other words, they'd followed the precise letter of the law, not common sense.
