5. It's always been in his court.
The Florida legislature could pass a law today forbidding removal of feeding tubes.

But they won't, because most people favor having the option for themselves and their loved ones.

So Jeb will continue to talk a big game, use extreme rhetoric, pretend to be on the fundies side but in the end just nibble around the edges of procedures with a motion or two, enraging the fundies while managing to scare everyone else. He's toast.

8. What a delightful position for Jeb to be in
Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

Get the popcorn ready and be prepared to help stir up a fundie frenzy if he sits on his hands and does the proper thing and allow the law to do its job.

3. Reported on CNN also.
I'm emailing MSM to put a little tally of how much money the gop & their religiously insane supporters are spending on a private matter.

7. Msg. to *, Jeb, DeLay, Frist, etc...
WHAT PART OF NO WAY IN HELL ARE YOU INCAPABLE OF UNDERSTANDING?

It's over. Now let's focus on DeLay's impending indictments for ethics violations.

9. Is this the ruling on the 'abuse' accusation? If so, there's still one
more to go...the one Jeb filed yesterday about 'new evidence' of Terri being misdiagnosed.

12. When Terri Schiavo expires, who will "they" blame?
You know that the right-wingers will be desperate for a Judas-goat. Foaming-at-the-mouth desperate. Given that public opinion is decidedly against them on this, who will they blame? Tom Delay equates (in that inimitable logic he often springs on us) Terri Schiavo's imminent death to his own persecution. Will it get any stranger than that? Will there be a shit-storm? Whatever happens, I think it will blow over quickly (but maybe not quietly) and Terri Schiavo will be relegated to the marginalia of the GOP mind. Sad, indeed.
