Thank you.

From his photo, I wondered when he last took a bath, washed and cut his hair, and shaved. I think those sunglasses were tattooed to his furry face. The sign he was carrying that said "moron" was probably in reference to himself. At least he was honest just once.

Thanks again.

Yes, of course, Governor Bush should go and visit Terri. I'm sure he'll enjoy seeing her BEING STARVED TO DEATH!!! Jeb Bush, you better get off your butt and DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!

[ASA Vet]

He/she was here almost a year on that name.
Probably already has several more names ready to continue the agenda.

In fact, he wrote so many that one of his pimps (forget his name…there were so many) said: “Stroke or the pen, law of the land.” Remember that?

I didn't care much about politics when Clinton was around, so I don't know much about his use of Executive Orders, or Executive Orders at all for that matter. My guess is that the judiciary and media tolerated it because they agreed with Clinton, but now since they don't agree with Bush they will probably react differently.

On another thread it's being reported that the Senators have decided to scrap all the old evidence and retry. I guess procedure is called de novo.

heh ;)...yourself...I don't remember asking you to cough.

Yeah Okay!!...that could be considered an example of gender discrimination. I know you can take it...you're a Mod. BTW...Go for the Gold!!!

"I'm sure folks don't want it to end this way, but there is very little you can do, and violating the law by breaking into a private facility will only underscore the opinions of some people that you guys may be exactly the bunch of dangerous kooks that they think you are. So go ahead,prove thier point.
"
It doesn't matter what people of your ilk think. It only matters that we "the bunch of dangerous kooks" save Terri's life. Civil Disobedience, in some cases, works for both sides. Your side has used it as a tactic for many years. It is now our turn to save our sister Terri by any means available, even if we "only underscore the opinions of some people that you guys may be exactly the bunch of dangerous kooks that they think you are."

Pardon me, who is "they" and why should I care what "they" think? You also should learn how to use the spell checker. Duh.

Yes, I do agree with you. I hadn't thought about that. Thank you.

"On another thread it's being reported that the Senators have decided to scrap all the old evidence and retry. I guess procedure is called de novo."

Yes, I heard the tail end of that.

I think that would be a very good idea, because Judge Greer denied access of experts to Terri, denied medical tests, someone who was teaching Terri to speak was put on the banned visitors list, and so one -- the whole case smells.

Start anew and examine everything.

But they better put that feeding tube back in NOW, it's been out already for 24 hrs or close to it, or the whole thing will be sadly moot.

You can live without food for a while, but Terri is not getting any water or fluids either, and that can cause permanent damange much more quickly.

"a small handful of disrupters (most of them newbies, btw) who aren't passionate about anything other than upsetting the rest of us"

Maybe they won't know what the "fuss" is all about until their children unplug them to get their $$$ later in life(that's after "life support removal due to offspring decree" becomes a law).

Slippery slope indeed.

[JFK_Lib]

No, but I think several were tossed into them.

Ah, so did you applaud their having followed the law to the letter?

"Stroke of the pen, law of the land."

I believe that was Paul Begala, "The Forehead," who said that notable quote.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

Too bad you missed his photo on his FR homepage. But then again, maybe it was good you didn't see it. It has now been taken down.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

"Stroke of the pen, law of the land."

Ah yes, yes...You are correct. Thank you so much.

[Politicalmom]

A heartfelt thank you!!

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

That is, yes, it was said by Paul Begala. Thank you.
