Mudville Gazette

A MILBLOG

The Mudville Gazette is the on-line voice of an American warrior and his wife who stands by him. They prefer to see peaceful change render force of arms unnecessary. Until that day they stand fast with those who struggle for freedom, strike for reason, and pray for a better tomorrow.

Rev. Jackson Prays With Schiavo's Family
"I feel so passionate about this injustice being done, how unnecessary it is to deny her a feeding tube, water, not even ice to be used for her parched lips," he said. "This is a moral issue and it transcends politics and family disputes."

I'm glad to see some democrats are seeing this as a moral issue and not as big brother politics, but why did Jesse wait so long?

Federal Appeals Court OKs Schiavo Review
A federal appeals court early Wednesday agreed to consider a petition for a new hearing on whether to reconnect Terri Schiavo's feeding tube.

This may be a day late and a life short of being helpful now.

U.S. Army court-martials captain for mercy killing
As brain-injured Terri Schiavo enters her 13th day of starvation in Florida after nearly a decade-long court dispute over her fate, a U.S. Army captain is being court-martialed in Wiesbaden, Germany, and facing 20 years for the mercy killing of a suspected Iraqi terrorist under battlefield conditions.

Hmmm

Jeb Bush is courting dereliction of duty
The Florida state constitution declares unequivocally that in the state of Florida "the supreme executive power shall be vested in a governor ? ." The word supreme means highest in authority. There can be no executive authority in the state of Florida higher than the governor. No state law can create an executive authority higher than highest in the Florida constitution. Therefore no court order based upon such a law can constitutionally create such an authority.

It's all about checks and balances. Who is to police the courts? If the Govenor can grant a stay of execution to a criminal then Terri deserves that same right.

Pope may be fed through tube into his stomach
The Pope?s doctors are considering an operation to insert a tube into his abdomen so that he can be fed without having to swallow, according to Vatican sources. It came as one expert said that he doubted that the Pope would speak again. Stefano Ruggiero, Professor of Neurology at Rome University, said: ?He has extraordinary physical robustness and an iron will, but he simply does not have the strength left in his vocal cords.?
