Protection for the Disabled

Question: Has any "online petition" actually acheived its stated goals?

[msp2004]

Signed:)

[inquest]

This is a state issue, not a federal issue. I wouldn't have said that while there was still a chance of saving Terri's life, but now that that failed, we need to keep the Constitution in mind once again. I don't want to see this tragedy used to expand the power of government even further.

[jess35]

Nope.

[TheDon]

I don't think euthanasia should be legal.

[FR_addict]

That's your opinion. You don't have to sign.

Our right to life is guaranteed in the 14th amendment.

Hear Hear.

Florida lawmaker says he will consider impeaching Schiavo Judge Greer

[Lunatic Fringe]

No State . . . shall deprive any person of life . . . without due process of law...

Well I think the dozens and dozens of hearings meet the requirement of "due process of law" don't you? Probably not...

[tutstar]

Fed Judges were supposed to review Terri's case de novo...they didn't.

They all need to be impeached!

They legislated from the bench by their refusal to obey the law that was just passed.

They even went so far as to say it was unconstitutional when that was not even the issue that was before them to consider.

Right now the way it stands, the state can murder you on hearsay evidence from a husband-in-name-only.

Terri's case is a precedent. The bar has been lowered. She had no living will. Yet that didn't matter to the state of Florida.

[G.Mason]

"(b) Subsection (a) does not apply in the case of a judicial proceeding in which no party disputes, and the court finds, that the incapacitated person, while having capacity, had executed a written advance directive ... valid under applicable law that clearly authorized the withholding or withdrawal of food or fluids or medical treatment in the applicable circumstances."

Clearly?

Just who's definition of clearly will we use?

The states? A Priests? A ministers? A Rabbis? A Freepers?

No thanks, and I only got to "clearly" as a definition you want to use to clarify my living will.

If anyone interested in this case wants to read the detailed law breaking on the part of judge Greer and others go to The Empire Journal.They have enough information on their website to convene a grand jury and probably make arrests for conspiracy corruption and murder.The information is shocking.It apparently has the people working in the Pinellas county courthouse a little worried since an investigation found computers from that location were on the Journal's website all hours of the day and might even have hacked it.The Federal Government needs to clean house in Pinnellas County Florida because it is one of the most corrupt places on earth.

[G.Mason]

Interested? Any gas left?

And that is a success of an online petition in what way?

Also, Rep. Conyers continually says he will consider impeaching Pres. Bush.

Saying you will consider something is bascially doing nothing at all.

[FR_addict]

Absolutely not!

The Florida statue was violated. The law is written only to apply to those who have a living will. The judge "interpreted" the law to include hearsay evidence. He did not consider the hearsay evidence from Terri's friend, only the hearsay given by Michael S. and his family, seven years after her collapse.

In the lawsuit Michael says he would use the money to take care of Terri for the rest of his life. He only said Terri expressed her wish not to live with tubes, years later, when he hooked up with Felos. If you believe him now, he committed perjury during the trial, but that doesn't matter in Florida. He has not filed annual guardianship papers in years. These are required by law, but that doesn't matter in Florida.

I don't consider one lowly district court judge's decision to end Terri's life, "due process".

Criminals get "due process" over and over again. A jury of their peers decide their guilt or innocent, not one lone judge that was breaking the law when he acted as her guardian ad litem and her judge at the same time.

They even went so far as to say it was unconstitutional when that was not even the issue that was before them to consider.

My hat is off to you for your bravery. The courts will undoubtedly now be attempting to starve and dehydrate you to death... to shut you up permanently !!! ;-))

in honor of Terri Schiavo.
