Glad to see this is not just exclusively a 'conservative' issue anymore.

Even some of the wild-eyed lefties at the Village Voice can see that Judges are committing murder...putting strict interpretations of Dred Scott law above morals and human rights.

More and more people will see this for what it is, too.

Wow. This is one of the best articles on this case.

I am floored that it was printed in the Village Voice.

Wow! From the Village (Idiot) Voice no less. Rereading the particulars of the case and Greer and the ACLU and Michael Schiavo's conduct makes my blood boil! Murderers!

I would submit the Village Voice is worried that those with AIDS will be assumed to be "inconvenient" and their lives will not pass the Whitmore Test of worthiness to continue living. Imagine if the HIV positive crowd of the Village Voice was subject to mandatory duty to die.

Thanks to Judge Greer and Mr. Felos's amazing power of "soul speaking", they have very much to be concerned about.

From the Village Voice? How did this article escape an editorial excision?
Last week, NBC News had a story about high gasoline prices that blamed demand, especially in China. No mention of Bush, Cheney, Halliburton or corporate greed. Has the world gone mad?

Finally we can all agree on this! Anyone not agreeing with this sees through sadistic sunglasses Terri wearing the Emperor's old clothes.

Nat Hentoff is an extremely principled old school athiest liberal who has ALWAYS come down on the pro-life side of every issue.

I especially approve of the term "Judicial Murder". The law did not require Terri to die, as due process under the 14th Amendment clearly has been violated, executing a woman who committed no crime based on the say-so of her husband using a civil preponderance of the evidence standard.

It is a FLAGRANT and OBVIOUS violation of due process.

Murder,plain and simple, with help of a sh*tty law and amendments thereto passed by morons in the FL legislature. Terri's innocent blood is on their hands, too.

This is bigger than a political/ partisan issue. I think it is an issue of a person's humanity.

Yeah, Nat Hentoff is a leftie, but pro-life. He is consistently pro-life, i.e. anti-abortion, anti-death penalty, anti-torture. I respect him for his consistency.

Small problem with Frist's comments.. with the metal probes in her head, an otherwise benign MRI/CAT scan would kill her.

amazed at village voice on this though.

Nat Hentoff is a ferocious libertarian who is completely unafraid of the liberals and socialists. I am not surprised in the slightest.
