"Think, if you can, of a single instance in which a plainly written provision of the Constitution has ever been denied. [No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. ] If, by the mere force of numbers, a majority should deprive a minority of any clearly written constitutional right, it might, in a moral point of view, justify revolution—certainly would, if such right were a vital one."

- Abraham Lincoln
Inaugural Address (March 4, 1861)

[Ohioan from Florida]

Thanks for that ping! I missed that thread last night.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Felos is a member of what used to be called the Hemlock Society, but I don't remember what they call it any more...anyway, he is not unbiased himself.

[longtermmemmory]

NEVER.

Remember the Alamo.

One battle loss can win a war.

Also connected to the 'court appointed' doctor.

Heavenly Father, we return to thank You that You have given us a Spirit of Confidence, and not a spirit of fear. May Your Good and Perfect Will be our focus in these hours, O Lord, that we might continue to plead for the life of this mother's child before the Throne of Grace. The Judge has once again hardened his heart against this wounded woman ... let not his actions prevail over Terri's life, O God. Redeem her life from the pit in which she has been consigned.

Take to task all those who have harmed this innocent one ... let none escape the consequences. They already are celebrating the end of her life ... hold them in derision, O Lord ... take from them their sacrificial offering and place her within the love and care of her family. Our souls are sorrowful over our own grievous sins ... lay not our charge against this innocent one. Rescue her, Merciful Father ... come quickly to her side, for she is weak and failing. Sustain her and her family, even in this dark hour, for they wait to see the mighty and wondrous things You will do. In the Name of Jesus, we pray, Amen ...

If Greer files charges against Jeb, my understanding is that he could only face impeachment by the legislature. It again, and rightly so, brings forth the idea of the equal branches of government. Greer cannot have Jeb arrested or anything. He's the governor and afforded special protections from the judiciary. Only the legislature could decide Jeb's fate as governor. It only has to be in Jeb's will that he go through with his responsibility to protect Terri as listed in both the FL Constitution and state statutes.

14.01 Governor; residence; office; authority to protect life, liberty, and property.--The Governor shall reside at the head of government, and the Governor's office shall be in the capitol. The Governor may have such other offices within the state as he or she may deem necessary. The Governor may employ as many persons as he or she, in his or her discretion, may deem necessary to procure and secure protection to life, liberty, and property of the inhabitants of the state, also to protect the property of the state.

Governor Bush has at his disposal not only law enforcement, but also the FL national guard, to enforce the law as he sees fit. I would say that some in the state police refusing his order and following a judges qualifies as a rebellion.

14.02 Governor may preserve peace and order by military force.--The Governor may, in cases of insurrection or rebellion, violence, disorder or insecurity of life, liberty and property, support and preserve the public peace and order by the military force of the state.

Sounds like Felos is outing himself as a proponent of euthanasia.

[Timeout]

That was the doctor who reported to the court that Terri is PVS. Canton or something like that. He's a "right to die" advocate.

[cajungirl]

The doc belongs to a group of ethical Christians.

Is it suspicious to hang around with ethical Christians now?

The doc actually said he was one who had removed life support and believed in doing that. He said this case did not meet criteria for that.

But now, just the word Christian is an epithet.

[Scarchin]

Watch out! I said that a while ago and got flamed! lol

[justshe]

I heard that too. And the way he said it was so condescending and "neener, neener, neerer-ish"....disgusting.

[nicmarlo]

Also connected to the 'court appointed' doctor.

Yes, the "tie-breaker" who DECIDED TERRI WAS IN PVS is connected to Felos.

[phenn]

Your sarcasm was not appreciated. People here are horrified. So, find someplace else to take amusement.

[amdgmary]

Felos is a high ranking member of the Hemlock Society.

[pollywog]

Therefore, the President MUST intervene. NOW.

Or we are finished as a free people
