Is it just me, or does it seem exceedingly suspicious to others that the only way for Terri Schiavo to shed even the slightest light on what exactly happened to her in her home that February morning in 1990 is if she could be rehabilitated to some degree – which her husband, the only other person home with her at the time of her "collapse," absolutely forbids in any way, shape, or form?

So, from all the break-neck developments this past week, I gather that Democrats favor waging an unrelenting...

Legal experts say that if Florida Gov. Jeb Bush defies state judge George Greer and orders state troopers to rescue Terri Schiavo, he and any other officials who participate in such a move risk a contempt citation from Greer that could put them in jail. But with a powerful ally in the White House, Terri Schiavo's would-be rescuers have nothing to fear from the runaway judge. In 2001, President Clinton pardoned drug dealers, international money launderers - even FALN terrorists, who were spared in a blatant bid to win votes for his wife's Senate campaign. The episode taught a bewildered...

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) Terri Schiavo's parents have appealed a federal judge's ruling that kept their brain-damaged daughter's feeding tube disconnected.

Judge George Greer ruled that the State of Florida has no right to take custody of Terri Schiavo, which ruling came hours after an appeal by Terri's parents to re-insert the feeding tube was refused by the U.S. Supreme Court. Meanwhile, another hearing was scheduled tonight before US District Judge James D. Whittemore .. the same judge who previously heard and denied the request subsequent to the 'de novo' intention of the law past last weekend by the Congress and signed by President Bush, in an effort to confirm that no stone was left unturned before Terri would endure legally...

I returned home last night from Tallahassee, where I helped to lobby the Florida Senate to try to convince them to save Terri. I’ve not been registered at FreeRep for very long, so please try to bear with me as I try to tell you what I saw there. When the vote came up, several Senators pushed for debate. In several very long winded speeches, they argued. It seemed to me that every opponent has pulled a feeding tube on a loved one, and watched them die, and it wasn’t so bad for them, so we should just shut up....

March 25, 2005 Myth of 19 Judges and Ignoring the Will of Congress By Thomas Sowell Liberals have repeatedly used the talking point of how many judges have heard the case of Terri Schiavo. But that is as misleading as most of the rest of what they and the mainstream media have been saying. When a case goes up to a higher court on appeal, the issue before the appellate court is not whether they agree with the merits of the decision of the lower court. In a criminal case, for example, the issue before the appellate court is not...
