"We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution"

How has the Constitution been perverted by the courts? What law did Greer not enforce or twist?

Terri's parents had full access to the courts and to due process. Terri's legal 'guardian' [and I use the word advisedly] was her husband.

Nonsense. I do not consider ordering an innocent person starved to death to be within a judge's rightful authority. And then there is Judge Greer's defiance of a federal subpoena - a judge is above the law binding on lesser mortals. Let's not even look at the federal courts' refusal to grant Terri Schiavo's case a de novo review as required by law. So yes, the Constitution and the rule of law were subverted. And the blood of an innocent person was wantonly shed by our government.

You can't be serious. The Constitution IS LAW. For starters, she was ordered not merely to have the feeding tube removed, but that EVEN WITHOUT THE FEEDING TUBE she was disallowed from receiving water or nourishment of any kind through the mouth by any means. This is THE FIRST TIME this has ever been ordered by a US Court at any level. Don't talk about "what about all the other cases like this......" There are no other cases like this.

And, Greer got critical facts confused. Is it OK for judges to get critical facts confused as long as they're following the law?
