I suppose, if for no other reason than the contentious, divisive and hyper emotional nature of this controversy, I would have appointed another, just to allay many people's concerns about possible impropriety by Terri's husband as to motivation.
Why doesn't Section Two apply to Terri??
So what exactly should he do, Mr. Know-it-all?
It isn't at all obvious to me...but I'm not a rocket scientist...
Can you explain to me why the Fifth Amendment's protections don't apply to Terri??
No, it isn't. Sec. 9 clearly contemplates the State taking away life, liberty and property rights. Again, the state can take away the property of the innocent with due process. Moreover, where are you getting the "for the innocent" part of that section? I didn't see anything in there that said "for the innocent." Are you reading that in?
John Brown was a serial murderer and a terrorist. Colonel Robert E. Lee arrested him in Harpers Ferry, VA in accordance with law. Brown was convicted and hanged for his crimes in Charles Town, VA. What's your point?

Excuse me .. "a rogue police department" - HOW ABOUT A COURT ORDER FROM JUDGE GREER - The order stated that DCF did not have sufficient evidence to support their claim.
I don't agree with the Judge's order - but the COURT ORDER is why Jeb could not do anything - and has nothing to do with whether or not Jeb agreed with the judge's decision.
To fulfill your demands - Jeb would have been required to ignore that court order - and leave himself open to being impeached - by disobeying a court order.
That's just nuts!!
Easy for him to be an armchair QB, isn't it. :P
It's incredibly easy.
Type up a one paragraph order that explains that he is acting under his authority as Governor to uphold Article One, Section Two of the State Constitution, hand it to a couple of State Troopers, and take a medical team down to the hospice to get some IVs in Terri's arms.
Then get her out of there until the attempted murder and abuse is fully investigated.
The guardian fishing is one of the best examples of how the deck was stacked.
He clearly stated Mike Schiavo had an obvious conflict of interest, had been inconsistent in his views and goals and did not provide compelling evidence Terri Schaivo had ever expressed a wish to die in such a manner.
He was ignored and they just got a new one.
Judicial supremecy is a myth that is destroying us. I don't know why you folks can't see something that is so obvious.
And what happens when the state troopers say "no?"
Or the local police prevent them?
Thank you for presupposing my bible reading habits. I haven't advocated the breaking of any law. I also don't suggest, as many here do, that the law allows us to murder people in opposition to God's law. I DID suggest that those at Nuremburgh claimed the same things as those limp-wristed ones who have "done all I can do."
On the other side (yours) were Quantrill and Bushwhackers who were also committing violence.
It may not be 1836 but it sems like the 1850's.
Some things never seem to change -- wondered how long it would be before Keyes got involved with this. First it was Terry, then Klayman, then Jackson, and now Keyes.
Just keeps getting worse and worse. Guess Partial Birth Abortion didn't mean anything to these folks posting because if they keep this up and we lose seats in 2006, you can bet money that Partial Birth Abortion will be back on the books along with Stem Cell harvesting.
Bet these same folks were shouting against Elian being taken by men with guns. If they think the cops, won't shoot, why don't they go in and rescue her? If it is not against the law, then they can go in and rescue her? Jesse Jackson didn't seem to have trouble getting arrested before did he?
WOW! I forgot about that! So true!
