But let's throw him under the bus on some more baseless allegations shall we?



I know you are a states rights person. The problem with your argument is that the state had a law forbidding him or his doctor not to treat her for that infection. He admitted it under oath. I will quote it tomorrow unless you would care to do so now.

Ah, but that's not what you stated originally is it now? No, what you stated originally was

I know Mike tried to let her die of an UTI in 1993 against doctors orders

which is an out and out falsehood. Now as to what Florida's laws state, I don't know and frankly I don't care. That issue belongs to the citizens of the state of Florida and the Florida state courts, per Scalia but more importantly the 10th Amendment.

Will be more than happy to quote it. Doesn't prove your point though

Q: Why have you changed your opinion?

SCHIAVO: Because evidently there is a law out there that say I can’t do it.

Q: Is that the only reason?

SCHIAVO: Basically, maybe.

Q: What you’re telling me is, is that there is nothing in your belief or feelings that have changed. The only thing that has changed is the fact that your perceived that the law prevents you to do what you intended to do?

SCHIAVO: Correct.

All that tells us, in context with his other statements of receiving advice from the doctor is that he still believed the doctor's advice is valid over a state law. It does not prove anything else. I don't know about you, but when and if the time comes for me or anyone in my family, I'm going to tend to believe what an attending doctor tells me over some politician
