BREAKING: 3PM hearing on whether Schiavo feeding tube goes back in.
Edited on Mon Mar-21-05 10:44 AM by da_chimperor
"Federal judge sets 3 p.m. hearing on restraining order to prevent Terri Schiavo’s husband from withholding nutrition and water from her. Details soon."

I'm looking for a link now, the excerpt is from the top of the CNN main page.

Ack! Sorry about the bad headline! I mis-read it in my haste and anger. I apologize.

"U.S. Judge Orders Hearing in Fla. Right-To-Die Case

7 minutes ago

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (Reuters) - A U.S. federal judge ordered a hearing on Monday afternoon to consider a request to have feeding resumed for Terri Schiavo, the severely brain-damaged Florida woman at the heart of a politically charged right-to-die case.

U.S. District Judge James Whittemore announced the 3 p.m. hearing hours after a lawyer for Schiavo's parents filed a request with the court in Tampa, Florida, for the resumption of feeding for the 41-year-old woman, whose feeding tube was removed on a Florida state court's order on Friday."

1. That is NOT what that headline says.
It says there is a hearing on a restraining order. That means that no decision will be made until 3:00 PM at which time a judge MAY decide the tube gets reinserted.

Please don't misrepresent what is being said here.

who was being deliberately inflammatory and making false statements and insults.

7. Not too familiar with the FACTS in this case are you?
The money is in trust, he can't touch it.

Secondly, he's been offered much more money than is in that trust to walk away, and won't do so. He is trying to make sure his wifes wishes are honored.

Too bad you haven't actually researched the facts.

8. I'd bet her money went to 14 years of medical care
Too bad that when God called her home 14 years ago her parents and the right wingers decided that God didn't know his ass from a hole in the ground and couldn't be trusted to make decisions on whether or not she was ready to go to Heaven.

3. I don't think they are reporting that the tube is going back in.
Edited on Mon Mar-21-05 10:42 AM by Midlodemocrat
Just that they are going to have a hearing at 3 to decide.

11. Schiavo must be kept alive for the 2006 mid-term elections!
Schiavo will be appearing at most Repuke mid-term election rallies, but please don't pet or stroke her.

Sick mutherfuckers...

It's all good. Thanks for being on the lookout though -- monitoring world news is hard work, and I'm glad people like yourself are attentive. I apologize if my response was harsh.

31. Hey, don't sweat it...
We all make mistakes. No big whoop.

Also, I noticed that CNN's headline had major changes--within only a few minutes.

I can understand the confusion.

No worries.

34. It's all a setup.
The judge in the case is a Clinton appointee, so one hopes has a brain and a heart. That would mean that he'll do the right thing--say :wtf: and void the fucking law on the spot.

Whereupon it becomes the fault of the Big Dog's penis... and the shrieking assholes begin the old litany of "activist judges", blah blah blah.

:nuke: :grr: :boring:

Poor Terry Schiavo--I only hope that she is truly TRULY unable to comprehend or experience any of this. Otherwise her passing out of this world will be surrounded by hatred, hypocrisy, and outright insanity. That would bode ill for her next incarnation, and heaven knows she deserves better next time around than she's gotten this time.

:cry:
