So far, it appears Judge Greer has been given the power to let Michael Shiavo starve Terri Shiavo to death. Here are some links about Greer:

This is a petition to remove Greer. http://www.PetitionOnline.com/ijg520/
As for what can be done for Terri, here is the Florida Constitution:
http://www.flsenate.gov/Statutes/index.cfm?Mode=Constitution&Submenu=3&Tab=statutes#A04S01
Here's what Governor Jeb Bush can do under the Florida Constitution. ARTICLE IV EXECUTIVE
(a) The supreme executive power shall be vested in a governor, who shall be commander-in-chief of all military forces of the state not in active service of the United States. The governor shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, commission all officers of the state and counties, and transact all necessary business with the officers of government. The governor may require information in writing from all executive or administrative state, county or municipal officers upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective offices. The governor shall be the chief administrative officer of the state responsible for the planning and budgeting for the state.
(b) The governor may initiate judicial proceedings in the name of the state against any executive or administrative state, county or municipal officer to enforce compliance with any duty or restrain any unauthorized act.
(c) The governor may request in writing the opinion of the justices of the supreme court as to the interpretation of any portion of this constitution upon any question affecting the governor's executive powers and duties. The justices shall, subject to their rules of procedure, permit interested persons to be heard on the questions presented and shall render their written opinion not earlier than ten days from the filing and docketing of the request, unless in their judgment the delay would cause public injury.
(d) The governor shall have power to call out the militia to preserve the public peace, execute the laws of the state, suppress insurrection, or repel invasion.
(e) The governor shall by message at least once in each regular session inform the legislature concerning the condition of the state, propose such reorganization of the executive department as will promote efficiency and economy, and recommend measures in the public interest.
(f) When not otherwise provided for in this constitution, the governor shall fill by appointment any vacancy in state or county office for the remainder of the term of an appointive office, and for the remainder of the term of an elective office if less than twenty-eight months, otherwise until the first Tuesday after the first Monday following the next general election.
Here's the part about life in the Florida Constitution.:
SECTION 2. Basic rights.--All natural persons, female and male alike, are equal before the law and have inalienable rights, among which are the right to enjoy and defend life and liberty, to pursue happiness, to be rewarded for industry, and to acquire, possess and protect property; except that the ownership, inheritance, disposition and possession of real property by aliens ineligible for citizenship may be regulated or prohibited by law. No person shall be deprived of any right because of race, religion, national origin, or physical disability.
I do not see anything about requiring judicial permission to use "all military forces of the state not in active service of the United States" as stated in Article IV (a)
Nor do I see any judicial permission for the "power to call out the militia to preserve the public peace, execute the laws of the state, suppress insurrection, or repel invasion." as stated in Article IV (d)
It appears to me that Article IV of the Florida Constitution gives Jeb Bush the power to send the National Guard w/out permission of Greer or any other judge to enforece Article I section 2 of the Florida Constitution
Is there something in the Florida Constitution / any other law that says otherwise? Anything I missed?
Maybe my slant is wishful thinking, but I sure wouldn't want to place a wager with you!
...Praying that I'm right and you're wrong. ;-)
This just get better and better. Destruction of evidense is a felony; if it leads to a death it could be a class 2 murder felony.
ALso, check out this thread, the Judge Greer's corrupt seems to have no end to it: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1369351/posts
wow, great chart -- nicely done!
By the way, I have been informed that somebody called the Hospice and they denied she was a member of their board.
So .. I'm not saying they're lying .. but I guess she could have been a board member and now she isn't. But at this point I dont know what the truth is about that issue.
I actually heard the nurse giving an interview and she said that this was done to her all the time. I believe the records were changed because there was money to provide for her rehab - but if the reports said she didn't respond - then no rehab would be required - and thus none of the money would be used.
I just want them to remove Terri from the Hospice and out from under the guardianship of the husband; replace the feeding tube; and review the case.
There is still a motion from 11/02 in which it was alleged that Michael was not fulfilling his mandated tasks as her guardian - and that he should be removed. This motion has never been adjudicated. WHY ..?? is my question.
Good questions and statements. I think this case may have uncovered something far more evil than we first thought.
re: What about last minute death row appeals?
That is not a pardon. A pardon means your offense has been forgiven by the state. Last minute death row appeals only delay the execution, the prisoner must still answer for the crime.

Well .. whether a bunch of us have uncovered something more evil than anybody knew .. we need somebody to ACT on it.

Thank you. I just emailed Gonzales also. I hope it helps.
The email address again is AskDOJ@usdoj.gov
Let's flood them with email.
Let's also email Tom Davis and Mike Enzi asking that they serve the subpoenas they issued immediately.
And let's get hold of Jeb to urge him to use his executive power to take Terri into protective custody.
bump to the top!!
If Janet Reno could send her people to Waco and to kidnap Elian, if the government could send its agents to Ruby Ridge (two of the three, at least, in violation of court orders, I believe), then there is no reason why Gonzales can't arrest Greer. There is no reason why Dubya can't send the Federal marshals to protect Terri. There is no reason why Jeb Bush can't send his people to take Terriinot protective custody. There is no reason why Davis's and Enzi's committees can't show up and serve their subpoenas. They have the authority. Do they have the guts to use it?
Probably not. People might criticize them. They really should change the symbol from an elephant to a jellyfish.
bttt
But Greer exceeds his authority. Let's haul him in for contempt of Congress and let's get the DCF and the marshals in there to protect Terri and feed her.
We don't hvae much time.
I'm afraid it's too late ... Terri's survival is now problematic for too many factions wishing to avoid being embarrassed or having their full agenda exposed to the world.
That is an illegal order. Taking out the tube may be a legal order, but denying even the touch of a drop of water on her lips is patently judicial homicide.
And the U.S. Attorney for that part of Florida.
He's a Klintoon appointee. It's doubtful he had a first thought.
