Judge Refuses to have feeding tube reinserted in Terri Schiavo (FOX NEWS ALERT)

Fox News | 03/22/05

Just heard on Fox....so sad.

[backhoe]

If Terri does die, it may energize America even more than in the 2004 election, which was a horrible defeat for the liberals. I don't want Terri to die, but she might one day be smiling from heaven if she sees a number of good US Senators replacing Culture of Death Senators and Good Judges replacing those so firmly in the grip of the Culture of Death and of Satan.

Neighbor, I agree. This is a call to arms, to reign in a corrupt, arrogant, and unaccountable Judiciary. God Almighty, be my Judge-- so long as I draw breath, I will work to fix this problem.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Why should I have to do that?

As a show of respect for the deeply felt upset of your fellow "friends".

Surely you can wait a day before your champion this woman's death?

Is that asking too much of you?

[unspun]

In case you didn't know, the United States Federal Government has the power to protect the fundamental constitutional rights of the People. The act of one taking away another's right to life, refuses and violates all other constitutional rights of an individual.

IOW, a murdered woman cannot vote, etc., etc., etc.

[DB]

His brother is a "very successful personal injury lawyer"...

That's all I needed to hear...

[Neets]

What would it take to bring criminal charges against Schiavo for neglect?

It would take evidence or the case gets thrown out. Real hardcore evidence. Not lies and distortions and heresay propagated on Internet forums

[MortMan]

Two words - States' rights.

The constitution clearly gives congress the right to determine the jurisdiction of federal courts. They did just that in this case. So, being that the change of venue from state to federal court was clearly constitutional, how can a complete review of the case by the federal court absent the imminent threat of Terri dying while the court ponders be unconstitutional?

[Twinkie]

That's just it. Those who take Michael Shiavo's word as gospel need to give it a rest. He may very well be telling the truth, but WHAT IF? is a good question to ask where he is concerned. WHAT IF he is NOT and has NOT been telling the truth about any of it? - They are not even treating her as humanely as they treat an animal. They and he (Shiavo) have been willing to risk that she feels pain and have removed her food and water so it will take DAYS for her to die. WHAT IF she does feel pain? WHAT IF Shiavo is a pathological liar? WHAT IF Terri were injured in some way which caused this whole thing? WHAT IF Terri could be rehabilitated by her parents? Why is Shiavo in a common law marriage with another woman if he is so "in love" with Terri? Lord have mercy, with animals they at least get it over with quick.

[Tarantulas]

I hope you never have to suffer the fate of having due process without justice.

That's unlikely.

Question for those who are disappointed about this ruling. Should Paul Brophy's feeding tube have been removed? Or not?

[packrat35]

Odd that your motto from your home page is
Motto: "Evil triumphs when good men do nothing."

Maybe you ought to rethink that.

[topher]

Margaret Sanger can has extremely strong ties to Nazi Germany, and the Super Race Concept.

It is early in the morning...

One will find some interesting stuff researching Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, Playboy and Nazi Germany.

And one wonders where our society went wrong...

[frgoff]

Yes, because isn't it every President's right to interfere in the lives of his citizens and block their preferences?

You mean block the wish of a husband to kill his wife? When in doubt, err on the side of death, eh? Somebody smiles at your philosophy, and it isn't God.

[rintense]

I see you post and you give me such hope!

The irony between this and abortion is incredible. Until society as a whole celebrates and values all life, this culture of death will continue to flourish- unwittingly by those who believe letting a person starve to death is right.

We should protect all life, from the smallest form of a child, to those who cannot protect themselves. And this includes Terri.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

It would have been unconstitutional for him to rule otherwise. And this ruling respects Terri's wishes. Good call, judge.

Another Kool-Aid drinker for the Democrat-MSM Culture of Death and the Judicial Oligarchy.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Since FL has decided it's ok to starve whomever they want, why would seniors be so stupid as to move there? I don't want to ever go near the place.

At this point, Terri's uninvestigated broken bones should be checked out. Her family described these last night on Hannity and Combs..I understand her "ex" is going to have her cremated..This, at least should not be allowed just in case further investigation is necessary at some point.

[who knows what evil?]

This is murder by judiciary.

[Humal]

"It would take evidence or the case gets thrown out. Real hardcore evidence."

Would the original X-rays, that showed multiple broken bones, be considered enough evidence? Those X-rays didn't come to light until the statute of limitations (4 years, I read) had run out. Can they now be admitted into evidence?

Very well said.
I agree completely.

Two words - Non Sequitur

States' rights have been a loser de facto since Madison, and de jure since Lincoln. To pretend otherwise is an affectation by people who are either hopeful or fearful of rulings which either allow or disallow their illusions.

You want a non-sequitur? Try "freedom." You can do the happy dance this morning because your "states' rights team" apparently gets to euthanize a woman without remorse, but you'll likely be less celebratory when you finally do figure out that the other two branches of government have become vestigial tails. Lawyers - robed or otherwise - now have all the rights-- the states' and yours.

Party on, spider. Hope you've stocked up on something to keep the Greers and the Whittemores at bay.
