Terri Schiavo's case is off to the Supremes, who, evidently, are really the ones in charge of the country. It sure isn't Congress calling the shots.
Well, I hope they use some of their mighty power to send a glass of water down Terri's way.
UPDATE:
They declined to hear it.
UPDATE II:
Governor Bush has filed for custody of Terri. What a nice guy. Unfortunately, the petition will go before Judge Greer, who already put some kind of restraining order on the Department of Children and Families. I don't know how Jeb will physically claim her.
Who knows? He could send in the Guard.
UPDATE III:
Naturally, Judge Greer denied Governor Bush custody of Terri, and as we all know, Judge Greer is never wrong. He is a man without fault.
OK, Jeb. You're not running for re-election as Governor, and you've repeatedly said you don't want to run for President. You've got nothing to lose. I won't object a bit if you go ahead and call out the Guard.
Maybe he has some cleverer plan, but I'm fresh out of ideas.
Will Governor Bush dive onto the grenade? We'll know very soon.
UPDATE IV:
According to Randall Terry, the Governor blinked:
Randall Terry, who is acting as a spokesman for Schiavo's parents, said Bob and Mary Schindler were not giving up, and again slammed Gov. Bush for not strong-arming the court.
"The governor blinked. The governor blinked," Terry said. "We can only hope the governor is huddling with his attorneys and he is determined with his constitutional authority to enforce the statutes."
The fat lady's warming up and the skinny lady's wearing out. It's now or never, Jeb.
Posted by floridacracker at March 24, 2005 12:01 AMI lost faith in the Kennedy court long ago. The associate justice for the Eleventh district is Anthony Kennedy. Kennedy would move Heaven and Earth to spare Terri Schiavo's life but were she a convicted murderer. Sadly for Terri, she killed no one. So Kennedy has not interest in sparing her life.
Posted by: David L at March 24, 2005 08:40 AMTERRY WISHES???!!!! Do you really think her "wish" would be for her adulteress husband, with children from this other woman - to be the one making her life/death decisions????????
COME ON!
This NEEDS TO BE addressed and reminded to Judge Greer and all other courts that his actions speak loud and clear! Where are they with this wish that we ALL KNOW would be - GET MICHAEL AWAY FROM ME!
Please, this is ridiculous and I pray Terry gets the last word, with her dying breath - that she wakes up and speaks before the Angel of Heaven takes her home.
Thanks for the time,
Sherri / So. Calif.
