Freeper: Since Terri is being executed for brain damage, are GOPers next?
To: seamus
Looks like she's in big trouble.
Looks like about 50,000 retarded people are in trouble too. Extreem late term abortions are here. Let me guess, the next step is that to be Political incorrect, or Republican, is "brain damage"?

2. Never has there been worse tyranny---judicial tyranny
To: pnz1
Congress supoenaed them, then passed a law the President signed and still nothing..
Indeed. There has hardly been a greater example of judicial tyranny. Judicial panels no longer read the language of laws passed by Congress and signed by the president. If they did, they'd give Terri a fair chance at a new finding of fact, as Congress decreed by a majority vote. Instead, judges make their decisions based on their own feelings.

Terri's in big trouble, but so is our republic. This is a sad day. Basic decency is shunned. And the explicitly detailed laws of Congress are ignored.

3. "All of the judges who ruled against Terri are tyrants"
“This is a clear cut case of judicial tyranny. All the judges who have ruled against Terri are tyrants, and we fully expected this decision,” said Tammy Melton, 37, a high school teacher from Monterey, Tenn.

12. The bizarre thing with this statement is that all of the judges
have ruled IN FAVOR of Terry. 22 hearings, everyone of them ruling in favor of Terri's right to refuse medical intervention.

The judges ruled AGAINST Terri's parents who are trying to deny their daughter her right to refuse treatment.

9. last time I checked
Edited on Wed Mar-23-05 06:56 AM by ffm172
judicial branch and government aren't supposed to intertwine. Esp. shouldn't the government tell the jugdes what to do or not. It is sickening.

10. umm...
it was TOO explicitly detailed, to my understanding. It should be regarded as a bill of attainder, which is unconstitutional.

What the hell is the point of having a legislature?
They represent the will of the people, remember? We should do away with all that campaign expense and let the judiciary run the country. Or maybe get Mugabe or Sodamn Hussein to run things as they should be. Of course we don't need them either with the judcicial branch of the gubmint firmly in place.

11. This whole sorry episode highlights how US schools have failed
To impart even a modicum of critical thinking in their graduates. Who taught these bozos that "I wanna" was the first principle of American justice?

The judge DID perform a new fact-finding exercise and DID consider whether a stay was in order, just as the brand new law required. And he judged (not decided) that 15 years of legal wrangling -- with the courts always deciding in favor of the spouse -- was still correct, regardless of Tom Delay's desire to have another dead body to beat the dems with.

I can only hope these benighted souls get on board with the fact that (as another FReeper wrote somewhere else) they "don't have leaders, have liars" and get so disgusted with this sorry fact that they stop voting at all.
