Schindler's Lawyers: She must be reconnected to a feeding tube....

[LynneSin]

immediately or the recent efforts of Congress and President Bush to help them keep her alive will have amounted to "a vain and useless act."

In layman's terms - If we don't reconnect Terri immediately, all the taxdollars wasted on a special session of Congress and to fly Bush back from Texas on AF1 at $34k/hour were pretty much a waste

1. "a vain and useless act"

...pretty much sums up Bush's entire first term.

5. LOL! That's so true

And this was a "vain and useless act." They wasted around 3 MILLION dollars holding that weekend Congressional hearing that violated seperation of powers. Their bill is unconstitutional. What a total waste.

Terri's sister was shown saying, "I hope the Federal Judge will follow the will of Congress." Apparently, she doesn't give a fuck about following the law either or she would have said, 'rule fairly, according to the law and not allow Congress to trump the Judicial branch. '

7. How about the will of the 70% of Americans who want the tubes out...

...because god forbid we oneday end up in her situation

:scared:

2. We should send a bill

to the Schindler family. I'm sure Scaife and Randal Terry will be happy to pay.

4. Hmmm, why are they trying to reduce her life to a matter of

whether Bush wasted time flying or not (especially considering he could have signed the bill in Texas without flying to DC).

Sounds like they're not as interested in their daughter as they are in publicity.

They're probably more interested in a book and movie deal than in anything else.

8. I agree.

It's looking more and more like they are just using her to get their demented fundie message out. Campaigning for the Bush boys. I wonder if they are being paid. They may be Repuke operatives on someone's payroll, like Armstrong or Gannon.

Her parents are really starting to creep me out. I was watching a clip of that video where her mother rearranged the pillow several times and kept moving Terri's head around. She appeared to be extremely controlling. Maybe the speculation that her parents are the abusive, controlling ones is right.

10. When I see the video, I have this picture of them

doing the same thing again and again until they get a random response, then editing the video to show only the time that elicited a random response and leaving the rest on the cutting room floor.

6. Of all reasons to do as they want...

that has to be the WEAKEST reason ever.

9. It's much more "vain and useless" to reconnect her feeding tube....

...she's DEAD.

She's not sitting up in bed, she's not talking, and she can't swallow!

She's dead, she's gone, she took the last bus out of town several years ago!

Why do these looney-tunes want to keep a living corpse alive???
