Good. Does that mean when they affirm the trial judge, Freepers will come to grips with this story?

"...Good. Does that mean when they affirm the trial judge, Freepers will come to grips with this story?...."

What do you mean?

[Soul Seeker]

Uh, No.

[Theodore R.]

But isn't affirming the trial judge the same thing as declaring the law of March 21 unconstitutional? Can Congress impeach Whitemoore for failure to provide the new trial?

I hope to never come to grips with the violation of the right to self determination. But that's just me.

[kralcmot]

no, some of us will never, ever accept this. we will undoubtedly be unable to do anything about it in this particular case, but we will fight this forever and at every possible opportunity.

it is just plain wrong.

Not this Freeper. Coming at the story from the angle of being a mother, I can not begin to imagine the nightmare of being legally barred from protecting the life of my child.

"Does that mean when they affirm the trial judge, Freepers will come to grips with this story?"

No, I will NEVER "come to grips" with the gov't of my country murdering people by judicial decree any more than I ever came to terms with what went on in Waco, or with Randy Weaver's family, or with Elian Gonzales. This is worse because this woman did NOTHING. She's innocent of any crime, and yet my country affords her less rights than a mass murderer, and a huge number of people (like you) want to look the other way and pretend that it's fine that some judge in a FL cesspool can murder anybody he chooses to cover up the crap!

[bert]

No, because there is still the SCOTUS.

If she dies, I'll hope to God that Schaivo was telling the truth.

And if evidence comes to light that he wasn't, I'll hope that he and anyone who aided and abetted him is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

The only grips I'll ever come to with this story is that we live under a judicial tyranny. A government that allows an innocent woman to starve to death, is by definition immoral and illegitimate.

Woe is us.

I've already come to grips with it. The state now has the power to order the death of citizens. The judiciary gets ever more powerful and the elected bodies ever more weaker. And the Colonel continues to build the Bridge Over the River Kwai.

[spiralsue]

NO. This FReeper will never ever "come to grips" with the forced starvation of a brain-damaged woman whose wishes are not known, yet alleged by her slime ball husband to be that she wanted to be starved and dehydrated to death rather than take advantage of 21st century therapy and rehabilitation. When our country allows an estranged husband to have the courts order to starve a wife, something is very very wrong and no, I personally will never accept this. Judges are not supreme beings. They are lawyers who wanted more power. The judiciary does not make the laws, the legislature does. The federal judge did not do his job. He was supposed to conduct a de novo (NEW) hearing, not affirm Greer's incompetence and malfeasance in the matter of this helpless woman who has been deprived of her life and liberty with the blessings of the court. The judicial branch needs to have the smack down on them.

[prairiebreeze]

You mean come to grips with the fact that the man that is much more accurately described as her EX-husband for the last several years has beligerantly dug his heels in where most reasonable people would have come to an agreement with the parents and lead a judicial charge to strengthen the case for expanded euthanasia in this country like the Europeenies do?

Hell no.

[ElkGroveDan]

Good. Does that mean when they affirm the trial judge, Freepers will come to grips with this story?

Sorry I will never, as you say come to grips, with the idea of a husband killing his wife under the protection of the courts.

Do you realize that this ENTIRE case hinges on the flimsy issue of her husband's word that she would want to be killed, with no witnesses, no corroboration, and in fact testimony to the very opposite by her family and the rest of the people in her life. Are you comfortable with that?

[ManHunter]

You mean bend over for the faultless judges to maintain the "sanctity" of the judicial system in this country? Uh, no!
