don't blame the courts, blame the Florida legislature.

Your comment reminds me of someone. Oh yes.

If Schiavo had a written will stating no feeding tube

THe law saying that a feeding tube is extraordinary was added after her accident. How could she predict what changes were going to be made to laws before he incapacity?

Comparing Jeb Bush and others to the devils at Nuremberg is an insult to everyone from Jewish people, to the US servicemen who fought and died bringing those people to justice--not to mention Jeb Bush et al.

I warned ya...

You were not told facts don't matter. You were told "facts" don't matter. And that was explained to you. Notice the quotation marks? "Facts" are invented to support your agenda, and throw a smoke screen over the truth.

That reminds me of an old saying. You can put pearls on a pig, and call her "Monique," but a pig is still just a pig.

I guess you could substitute a black robe, but you'd still just have a pig.

That's a good question that deserves an answer. Let's listen to some appropriate music while we wait.

The one that states the husband (spouse) gets to make the decision as to what her wishes were.

Wrong again. The law specifically forbids him to make that decision.

The Nazi war crimes tribunals indicated that 'just following orders' is not a defense...

That was then and there. This is here and now. Now it's a perfectly valid defense. And if you're the one giving the orders (like greer), "I was just giving orders" is also a good defense.

I checked with my only living Uncle. He fought in WWII, as did some of my other Uncles. He said he doesn't want what happened in Nazi Germany to happen here. He's not at all insulted by attempts to turn back the tide. "Never forget" means more to him than just a catchy little phrase. His daughter was born with severe brain damage. He never forgot that if she had been born in Nazi Germany, she would have been exterminated. He's appalled to see it happening here now. He's grateful that while his daughter was alive, Americans still remembered. He did not fight to achieve here what he was fighting against there. He's confident that my other Uncles would agree.

If you can find a WWII Vet who thinks we should be exterminating one or more groups of people using the "I was just following orders" defense, let me know.

This kind of talk doesn't help the pro-life cause; it just makes us look like a bunch of nutburgers.

Only to those who support exterminating the disabled. Anyone who thinks it takes a nutburger to support life and condemn murder isn't really pro-life to begin with, and they're not going to be converted to the cause by pussy-footing around it.

Law 101 or whatever you are chanting is meaningless if the so called law violates the natural law. Any and all laws on the books anywhere that permitted this atrocity, precisely like those that permit procured abortion on demand, are anti-moral, and so are invalid by definition. Such so called laws should be vehemently protested on the grounds they are anti-moral.

Greer isn't a "murderer." He applied established legal principles. SCOTUS decided twenty years ago the legal standard to be applied to withdraw a feeding tube. Greer is just a small-time judge who got a decision wrong, he flubbed the decision whether Terri was in a PVS and flubbed the guardianship issue. Trial judges get decisions wrong in all kinds of cases every day. They are human beings and humans make mistakes. Calling him a murderer just alienates potential allies.

We can use Terri's case as a teaching tool to show people just how far the culture of death has advanced in the US in such a short time. It can and should make every disabled person and everyone who might become disabled - that's all of us - stop and think why the legal system has made it so easy to kill disabled people who can't feed or drink for themselves.

The Democrats are going to use this as a campaign issue in 2006. If we are smart about this and present our points calmly and directly without throwing around a lot of crazy accusations, the issue will blow up in their faces and work to our benefit, just like their extremism on abortion has.

The answer is not character assassination, but is to focus like a laser on breaking the filibuster and getting judges on the Courts of Appeal and later SCOTUS who will reconsider the nonsense of the last 30 years. The Dems know this, which is why they are fighting so hard on the judges issue.

Wrong. The judge on the case stunk. Another judge would have made much better rulings for Terri even with the laws we have today. A reasonable judge would have removed Michael Schiavo as guardian years ago.

But when a black robed punk (Greer) works hand in glove with a death lawyer George Felos, then an incapacitated patient can die. Can be murdered

A better judge would have ruled opposite of judge Greer at many junctures and Terri Schindler-Schiavo would not have been killed. You want to kill your incapacitated wife? Then go judge shopping for a George Greer.

whining about a particular judge who, as a fact finder, came to a conclusion he was entitled to UNDER THE CURRENT LAW OF FLORIDA

You just don't get it.

I feel sorry for you, and I hope you never get sick or find yourself in a vulnerable position.

But I will fight for you if that happens. You can count on me.

With all due repect to the Father, this Judge, along with every other court this case came before, decided the case based on THE LAW. If people don't like the result, then change THE LAW...

The law states that 'hearsay' evidence is not admissable in a court of law. Judge Greer accepted hearsay evidence as fact from a two-timing husband who had other motives for wanting his wife dead. Judge Greer ordered the complete removal of ALL nutrition and hydration for Terri, not just removal of her feeding tube. That, my friend, is court-ordered murder and that is not following THE LAW.......
