Many Constitutional experts whom I respect believe that Jeb did all within his power to save her.

I repeat. Regardless of your circumstances, by affixing blame on him, you divert the real blame from where it lies.

Are we not all to blame in some way for allowing this country to fall so far from one that honors life, through lack of prayer, and lack of activism?

We need to channel our anger and grief into turning America around, and blaming the wrong people will NOT help.

I agree with you but this has been grueling and totally frustrating to watch. I know some say it's too uncomfortable and as the National Review piece says, started throwing out euphemism after euphemism...you know that 'offensive' line of 'starving Terri to death' just doesn't sit well with the libs,,so they want to keep it clinical,,,'withdrawal of life support' or 'withdrawal of medical intervention',,etc.

My heart bleeds for the callousness of our nation and for those who are laying in beds on feeding tubes right now.....because they are in peril. Especially if they cannot express their wishes in a 'lawful' manner. Those who celebrate law over morality and conscious are celebrating today,,,,all those faceless judges that hide behind their press releases and black robes,,,what cowards...and yes,,I'm sure we have all contributed to their rise to power. But, what can we do now? What can we do to honor this woman? How can we protect those most vulnerable who are still alive among us,,,? It seems really hopeless because the death-mongers of the judiciary have determined that life/death is just a secondary consideration to the 'legalities' ......as if anyone has ever agreed on how to interpret the Constitution up to this point. What sad, shameful day for our country.

I changed political parties after 32 years. I saw the Democrats as worshipers of death. I saw the Republicans as the party of life.

I never in a million years would have thought that they would sanction her murder by an adulterer husband, and a runaway leftist judge. They could have intervened.....and didn't. They have to live with that now.

I agree!

Jeb's only fault in this was trusting that the judge Greer respected him and gave him the opportunity to do the right thing. But when he made his intentions known prior to going in for Terri, the judge slapped the restraining order on him (dcf) and his hand were tied.

I have prayed on the prayer threads and I have wept with all there, but we can't place blame on Jeb or W. It is the out of control judiciary,as Mark Levin said so eloquently the other night.

Other constitutional experts disagree.

The Courts do not have a stranglehold on Constitutional interpretation nor on safeguarding our liberties. In Terri's case some in the Court have shown most clearly its worst ambition: to snuff out those rights, the foremost being the right to life. Jebb had a duty to protect Terri's life according to the Florida and US Constitution.

The experts you sight are dead wrong. In conclusion Terri is dead.

According to them there is no remedy for an out of control court. This is a lie pulled over our eyes for too long. To correct this lie requires decisive action. Every inaction fortifies the deception and further provides entrenchment of the Courts in their usurped powers. It has crept upon us like a bad habit, with each acquiesence making the next battle more difficult to overcome until the vice is so firmly rooted as to be impossible to extirpate.

Perhaps, Jebb was merely mislead by this very misunderstanding of his duties and of the overreaching authority of the courts. But this was the very opportunity to dispel this deceitful illusion that has so sinisterly wormed its way into our republic.
