The stench of Terri's murder by various tin-horn corrupt judicial tyrants lingers. This fecal mass should have recused himself.

[Mercat]

nope, not cause to recuse. Sry, no cigar.

[Williams]

It's not clear to me this is a relationship that would have required recusal by Judge Whittemore. It was Michael's former attorney and Felos' ex-wife and the relationship to Whittemore is a recommendation for a previous judgeship. But some judges would have offered to recuse themselves nonetheless.

Sadly many people equate the judge's decision with justice. I have no such illusion.

Nothing in relation to the travesty of the murder of Terri Schiavo surprises me.

I regard the above, along with these:

-Men(ace) in Black? SCOTUS goes Rogue...--

-Thunder on the Border-- (Minuteman Project)--

as the three definitive issuses of out times.

Whose life is it, anyway?
The juduciary runs amok.
Whose country is it?

That is not to say there are not almost-equally pressing issues, but those three will define whether we live or die as a country.

Whittemore earned one's contempt for the hardness of his heart and darkness of his soul. He had the power to help. He did not. Instead, he "ran out the clock" some ten hours while an innocent woman was dying in pain. Her rights meant nothing to him. Her pain meant nothing to him. He knew all along that he would refuse to help her and that he was preventing anyone else from helping her.

To call this man fecal matter, as somebody did, is insulting to feces.

The Empire Journal reports that McCaughey joined Felos' law firm in 1997

But McCaughey served on the judicial nominating commission from 1988 to 1992

POST HOC ERGO PROPTER HOC

>> Constance McCaughey

What is there about men like Felos, who are bent on killing women, that attracts women like Constance McCaughey, Deborah Bushnell and Joan Schiavo?

McCaughey, we learn, worked vigorously for Terri's execution.

Bushnell is said to be the author of the policy to deprive Terri of comforts and stimulation during the last five years of her life, in order to prevent her from getting better and wrecking the case for execution, and also to weaken her physically and hasten her demise. Interestingly, it was Bushnell who took Michael Schiavo to Greer's court four hours after Terri died, to sue for her estate!

Joan Schiavo, Michael Schiavo's sister-in-law whom Felos and some of the puppets describe as "Terri's best friend," showed her friendliness by putting a knife in Terri's back with tainted testimony that helped send Terri to her death.

[ZULU]

The entire sordid episode of the death by starvation of this unfortunate woman is interwoven with threads involving the incestuous relationships between the conflicting characters, the Courts and the Pinellas County Sheriff's Department.

If she was black and this was the 1960's Federal Marshalls would have been dispatched to Florida to take over her care and all the judges and sheriffs involved thrown in jail.

By the way, haven't they has enough time yet to doctor up the autposy results to exonerate that low-life creep who was her husband?

I haven't heard anything yet about those autopsy results.

Maybe they hoping the public will just forget. On the other hand, judging by the Senate's actions on McCain's illegal invader encouragement act, government officials probably don't give a tinker's dam about public opinion anymore.

[Nick Danger]

No one should criticize Whittemore, or his decision, without understanding the plea that the Schindlers' attorney filed.

The chance that Terri was given by the Congress was blundered away in one of the most stupid pieces of lawyering anyone could ever hope to see.

Whittemore committed the unpardonable sin of ruling on the case that the Plaintiff brought. For this he is vilified six ways from Sunday. But if you actually look at the case Plaintiff brought, you think, "How could anybody be that stupid? The lawyers threw the whole thing away!"

[latina4dubya]

duh...

[eeriegeno]

I have always been taught that an 'act of congress' carried some weight in the legal community? I guess I was taught wrong since some district judge can snub his nose at an 'act of congress'?

It is regretful what these barbarians did to Terri. And I can only wish that she rest in peace, away from all of the madness that is going on in this country!!!!!
