Uh,

that would be funny, in a sick, he's not a nice person, funny.

You know what I mean.

I hope.

Where'd you get your law degree?

Has there been an update, My TV is on the fritz. I just got back up.

No, he's acting like a judge, something everyone seems to be missing here. Like it or not, a judge's rule in his or her courtroom is paramount.

What would happen to our legal system if at any time, I could walk down the hall, find another judge and get that judge to rule the way I wanted. As much as we feel this happens all the time, it simply doesn't as much as people think. Don't give me anecdotal examples, either, because they are meaningless.

I can go to a higher court, which has been done, but only to review certain procedural issues, or to test the overall legality. Almost never can I argue, "That judge has got it wrong."

What most of us are suggesting, is my children try to do to me all the time; play one off the other, running back and forth until they hear what they want.

Do I like what has been happening, what is happening, to Terri Schiavo, no. I keep praying the decision goes the way I want it to go. But again, like the good Sister taught me at St. Mark's years ago, "God answers all prayers, but sometimes the answer is no."

Anything that people don't agree with these days is described as Nazi like behavior. It's a little overused and has become meaningless.

This is what you describe as a low comment?

Not voting solves nothing. I know the dilema as I have felt my vote did not matter but if it doesn't matter than whose vote does? "We the People" are fodder and as time goes by it has been harder to disguise. Without us those in power are nothing.

I agree that IF these courts believe in what they say that she should at least be allowed to attempt to eat and drink on her own. I should think her parents would take some comfort in that if she cannot do that it is better than starving her to death (murder).

I just wonder when we turned the corner or what event caused us to turn the corner that ANY spouse would starve their partner to death. I do not believe that the feeding tube, in this case, is life-support.

You have to vote no matter what or you will be carry some responsibility of giving up our rights even more.

..... No room in the inn--try the gulag.

bump!

I didn't get a chance to respond but that's OK, Diddle E. Squat did us all proud. I think we're overloaded with DUmmies and trolls just taking advantage of this tragedy to trash the Bush's. If they can blame the Bush brothers for what's happening to Terri they were never Bush supporters to begin with.

I wish I knew exactly what the issues were that were brought before him, but I have heard they were not very good ones."

It boggles the mind how a Congressional law signed by the President specifically to save Terri Schiavio could be simply ignored by the Judge.

We've seen Judges put injunctions on abortion laws while considering them, injunctions on state lawswrt immigration, etc. Why not an injunction to save a life?

How bad was the filing? Or how bad is this judge?

[JonDavid]

I just venting right now.

[mondonico]

"Which is the fault of the Congress and we the people. Congress allows the judiciary to walk all over it, ignoring their duty, and we allow Congress to allow it to happen."

You are absolutely right.

[bethtopaz]

Thanks, Diet Coke! And I just had one. Beth

Terri will die because the USofA does not have 3 equal branches of government. A very large segment of the US population thinks that the Judiciary Branch is a stand alone government by itself.

I used to work for an employer whose employees were members of a union. One of the men I worked with held the distinction at that time (many years ago) of being the only person who had a grievance filed against him by the company.

He was charged with malicious obedience. He would accept EXACTLY what his supervisor told him to do, and obey it to the letter. The problem was that the supervisor was not being precise with his orders, and the net result of this employee's obedience was harmful to the company. Thus, malicious obedience.

Sounds like a fitting term for the judiciary in this case, in "obeying the law."

Malicious obedience.

[Stellar Dendrite]

I think we should do away with individual voting rights and allow the judges to decide for us.

[northernlightsII]

The scary thing is they don't get elected at all ,and the elected representatives are not defending their turf.Ergo very soon voting rights will have little practical value.

[AMDG&BVMH]

"Malicious obedience."

That is perfect. It could be used against the police "guarding" Terri to enforce "her wishes".

We could also keep it in mind for times the kids bug us by being literal all the while knowing what we mean! ;)

Although I am upset with Jeb, President Bush, the Rest of the Republicans, the bottom line is that the Judges are the ones who are the ones repsonsilbe for Terri's State sponsored murder. Democrats, the Left control control the Judiciary Branch of our country. They not Jeb or President Bush are guilty. Jeb has tried for many years to save Terri. Who knows what Jeb & the President have tried behind the scenes to save Terri. It has been a sad week for me.

Micheal lied to gain money to his benifit,
by saying he would care for his wife with the monies.
Instead, he stopped all of her therapy/rehabilitation
right after he was awarded the money...
I want to see your proof of where you think he gave her
such great care after recieving the cash...
If he thought there was no chance of rehabilitating her...
he should of never went to court to sue on her behalf for her care for the rest of her life.. I consider him a thief..a liar...and selfishly had her killed legally..
