Due process, my *ss.
There can be no due process for a person who is done to death while never having been charged with a crime.
Your butt-covering for the political and legal establishment is obscene.
Due process applies to civil probate issues, as well as criminal proceedings. I would point out that Congress had the power to order the reinsertion of the feeding tube, via the statutory relief of a mandatory injunction. They did not. Therefore, I find that Congress is culpable here as well. It's easy to blame one person for all this, but that oversimplifies, and worse, it prevents us from making real fixes to the system.
Michael Savage says (March 31) that nearly all are guilty of Terri's murder. He said that he is guilty because he should have brought a 1,000 people and stormed the hospice and went to jail. He said that Jesse Jackson was (is) a fraud: he was there for his own interest and to meet with his apparent old friend George J. Felos. He said that GOP "guru" Karl Rove told both Bushes to let Terri die on the basis of a faulty Peter Jennings poll. So ABC is responsible for Terri's fate too. He said that Jeb and G.W. were unwilling to spend their political capital on Terri, and they will pay a price. He noted that GWB's poll ratings are dropping. "He's already a lame duck, and nobody knows what to think of him any more," said Savage. He said that Jeb Bush can seize the corpse and have a legitimate autopsy outside of corrupt Pinellas County, but he predicted that Bush will again back down.
I wonder if the Bush family will for years be defending (speeches, memoirs, articles, interviews) the brothers' inaction during Holy Week 2005, a week that shall live in infamy.
