Stay tuned.


I'll try to respond to you without the offensive invective you find so
necessary.

Scott Peterson case will go as high as the Supreme Court, if not overturned
sooner. Why should Sciavo's not go as high?

She is entitled to due process, at least as much as Peterson.


Death row cases routinely are "reviewed" by a partial panel of the
Supreme Court and just as routinely returned without action. Once in a
great while the Supremes take on a death penalty case. Not often.

Mrs. Schiavo got her due process. Further, there are witnesses who heard
her say at two famioy funerals that she never wanted extreme measures
taken to keep her around if she lapsed into a non-reversible coma or if
she were dying of some dread disease.

It was her wish to die.

It also is a matter of spousal perogative.

The right wing is, as usual, pandering to rile up its simple-minded masses.

Unless you have all the testimony given to all the judges in this case, you have
no basis for your statements. Whether or not she wished to die seems to be the
crux of the matter. How do *you* know what she wished?

From whence comes, "It is also a matter of spousal perogative." Have you
researched the Florida laws to make that determination? If so, show us.

Do you forget all Democrats who either went along with or voted *for* the
measure (almost half of those who voted in the House)?

In the Senate, *one* Democrat could have put the measure on hold. Not *one*
Democrat desired to do so.

Your little 'right-wing' comments are meaningless. They are what cause the
comments directed at you, those which your ego leads you to believe that people
are 'obsessed' with you.
