Not only Michael, but the MOTHER IN LAW TO BE holding vigil by the deathbed - that is too bizarre for words, can you imagine? I guess she wants to make sure there is a wedding ring in her daughter's future. (Shiver).

[greccogirl]

And (from what I gather) when she collapsed, he wasn't doing CPR, she was just lying there when the brother arrived.

He is an RT, HE would know better!

You know I wondered about this myself. He is supposedly either a nurse or had nurse's training. Why no CPR? If that had been my husband I wouldn't have stopped until the EMT's got there. Maybe her brain wouldn't have been without oxygen as long?

[greccogirl]

I think she'd better watch her back.

//I think she'd better watch her back.//

Maybe she's planning on his attacking her shortly after they're married. Then she gets all the money.

There seems to be a persistent delusion here that someone in a coma or PVS has to look like they were fast asleep. Not so. I was a Paramedic for 4 years, and we saw more than a few people who suffered horrific head injuries from which they would never recover who opened their eyes, thrashed around a bit, made faces and noises, and even a few who had to be tied down. Its not an uncommon phenomenon.

Well, except Terri ISN'T thrashing around. She is responding, her eyes are lighting up and she is smiling. That is a relfex action?

Bottom line is that its not just me disagreeing with you, its the Docs who've been overseeing Terri's care. I would tend to believe their opinion over yours, and also over the doctors hired by the Schindlers specifically to contradict her original Doctors testimony.

Okay. How about believing the independent reviewer that Judge Greer appointed who said Terri should have rehab and Michael should be removed as her guardian as he was not trustworthy? You know, the one Judge Greer ignored after he appointed him? How do you explain this?

[greccogirl]

I don't know WHAT she is thinking. She must be quite meek and weak willed. Michael Schavio does not strike me as the type who takes much backtalk.

His current girl friend is an IDIOT if she doesn't get out of there with the kids FAST after seeing what is happening to Terri.

You guys are sure finding a lit more food stuff on the Michael Schiavo - George Felos duo than I had when I posted this thread to get some kind of a Criminal Prosicution effort going while Terri was being dehydrated:

It is NOW Time for CRIMINAL PROSICUTION for Michael Schiavo

Keep up the good work on finding these goodies. We cant ket him "SKATE"!!!

"His current girl friend is an IDIOT if she doesn't get out of there with the kids FAST after seeing what is happening to Terri."

Supposedly she has been with him for 7 years. Hard to know if she is an idiot or an accomplice.

[Marysecretary]

He sure is full of himself. I get a kick out of watching him preen and grin for the camera when he knows he's on. I always love 'experts.'

[Theodore R.]

I think the law is constitutional. I do not think that the FL Supreme Court (almost entirely Chiles appointees) will rule the law constitutional, however. Therefore, the future for Terri is bleak, both in the short-term (Schiavo will remain the decisionmaker) and the long-term (court will strike down Terri's Law. The machinery of the corrupt FL judiciary is determined to kill this poor creature.

What kind of legislation do you think would not violate separation of powers, by dictating to the judiciary (which I take it is your objection to this law)?

When I talked about legislative action in this case a few days ago, it was changes in the living will statute itself (I think it's 765.03, but I could be wrong--and without a grandfather clause, to allow the Schindlers to get into court & get a TRO to replace the feeding tube) concerning feeding tubes & hydration, clarify what the courts should do in disputed cases (mandate a GAL for example), legislation much broader than this legislation specifically tailored to one case that has, in effect, overrode a court order. One of the state senators said they'd correct the statute in another session (she voted for the bill), but if that's their legislative intent, they could have done so during this session. Because this law is too narrowly tailored and is specific to only the Schiavo-Schindler case, with its legislative intent to negate the court order in this specific case, it's going to have trouble surviving a Constitutional test. The question is: does this law usurp the inherent powers of the judiciary by the executive and legislative branches of government?

They may have won the battle, but they haven't won the war.

Lots of legislation is very narrowly tailored. (I recommend you take a look at the tax legislation Congress passes every year. Lots of the new provisions have obviously been designed with a particular constituent in mind. In form, they are general, although the conditions under which they apply are very narrowly defined. Same story here.) As far as I know, such legislation always survives attack on that ground, unless it happens to be a bill of attainder, penalizing somebody. This is not a bill of attainder.

[Catspaw]

Does that tax legislation overturn a court order?

[aristeides]

This legislation has to do with the law for the future. How does that overturn a court order? Nobody will say that Michael Schiavo was not his wife's guardian up to the time the legislation was passed.

And some retroactive tax legislation is allowed, by the way. This law is not retroactive.

[Catspaw]

This legislation was narrowly tailored for the Schiavo case only.

I hope that Jeb and the Florida legislature are going to step in everytime litigation is not resolved to one party's satisfaction. It'd be their obligation, would it not?

[NebraskaTrailrider]

I just read that RN's testimony.
I'm an RN.

Makes me want to do something, like kick M. Schiavo in the *alls with my cowboy boots. Like a thousand times. I am so mad, it makes me think of violence. God help us.
