TAMPA, Fla. - Republican Fred Thompson sidestepped a question about the Terri Schiavo right-to-die case last month, saying he didn't remember the details. On Monday he said he's uncomfortable discussing it because of his own daughter's death.

"And this will probably be the last time I ever address it."

He added: "It should be decided by families. The federal government and the state government, too — except for the court system — ought to stay out of it, as far as I'm concerned."

Paralegal here too. The entire thing was a criminal enterprise from the get go. If you aren't a paralegal in Tampa Bay, you don't have the facts. The facts are stunners. I became involved when Judge Greer snubbed Jeb Bush. I jumped in to help Jeb. Once I learned more about Terri, it was clear she was alert and aware but that some very bad people including her husband were trying to kill her.

You didn't attend court in Pinellas County or at the Federal Courthouse in Tampa? Kangaroo Courtrooms.

It was a total sham being that she was responsive, alert and aware. A President and a Governor took an oath to protect human life. They failed. She was murdered.

Visit my profile page and read the Florida Statute that clearly shows the Judges committed felonies and should be in prison.

It appears the mainstream media got to you early on...

This is a case of a husbands ability to make a legal decision that has been entrusted to him by his wife and the laws of the state. The press, the government, and all the busybodies out there need to stay the HELL out of these very difficult and painful decisions.”

I agree. A lot of folks had the wool pulled over their eyes on this one.

Looks like the plug was pulled.

Whatever, it would have been her husband's call.

Family matter if this were a normal family but there was nothing normal about Michael Schiavo imo and many others' opinion. She's dead because she spent $80 on a new hairdo and was planning on getting a divorce.

She got pummeled from behind, survived and then all rehab was cut off in 1992 after Mikey got his consortium proceeds and got his hands on Terri's rehab monies. Her rehab monies went to death cult lawyers who were paid handsomely to work hand in hand with the Sixth Circuit Judges to make sure Terri would be brutally killed.

They wanted to kill her so badly it took three or four times. When the RNC brokers who are buddy buddy with Judge Greer wanted her dead for their own venal reasons, she died on March 31, 2005, not with her family BUT WITH COPS IN THE ROOM and new agers doing a weird ceremony over her body and Atty Felos took a big satchel out of the room. Hmmmmmm.... funny the CBS obit had the time and date of Terri's death a day before she died.

She was murdered while she was being killed. And, that's okay with you?

There's a new book out that spells out for the first time twelve stages of brain function, i.e. pvs, minimally conscious.

Rear Admiral Miller/Neurosurgeon. Book is called To Live or Die, Who Decides? (something like that). It's a first.

The Pinellas Sixth Circuit is corrupt. Then what happens? Judge Greer cheated in his campaign but wasn’t thrown off the bench. Florida’s not a good place to get involved with the courts. It’s operates like organized crime.

Court system as in judicial tyranny run amok. When I saw the swat teams hiding on balconies, I knew it was bigger than Terri. The swat teams weren’t there to protect Terri. They were there to protect her murder. If the gop can’t adopt an anti-euthanasia platform, I’ll stay indy. Euthanasia is illegal but is killing people before their time every day.

When I have a normal life back again and can actually enjoy leisure reading....I’ll get back to you about that book; I’ll likely forget, and will definitely misplace if I write it down now.

All those points are irrelevant from a legal standpoint. Local issue - not a federal matter.

There’s nothing euphoric about dehydration. What’s his name had no normal supporters. There were some moonies or sci-fis, aclu and atheists. There’s a Proverb. “Those who hate me love death”. by God

That is unfair.

People on this thread should not be making rash comments....

I agree with Fred. It is a personal family matter.

Terri was going to get a divorce before the incident. He was the last person on earth that she trusted and for good reason. When she was in a nursing home after rehab was cut off with no review by the Court, Michael Schiavo said, “When’s the bitch gonna die?” Affidavit

Fred’s an attorney. He’s familiar with motive and opportunity. There you go. This was state sponsored homocide for the benefit of a private citizen who had an interest in another person’s extermination. Life insurance.

So you have bought into the notion of judicial supremacy. Under the original constitutions of many of the states, the legislature was virtually supreme, with judges having limited powers, and a governor who was often a figurehead, except for such things as the power to pardon. The legislature could have intervened to stay the judgement, but was loathe to do so because it like most is made up largely of lawyers, and lawyers defer to courts, even corrupt ones.

Terri at 19 said, "Where there's life, there's hope."

After the incident, MICHAEL SCHIAVO had Terri's cats killed. He had her rings melted down to make jewelry for himself. He has been referred to as Scott Peterson without the Boat. Michael Schiavo wanted a boat though per Affidavit but only if she was dead.

MOTIVE AND OPPORTUNITY is not a family matter. It is what we call criminal law.
