Has Judge Greer ruled on Pulling the Pope's Feeding Tube?

I cannot get over the death of Terri. It was a state sponsored murder. We of the "culture of life". We fighting suicide bombers. And this romantization of death is really cracked - "dying with dignity" WTF?

From Judicial Watch:Terri Schiavo’s death by dehydration and starvation has now set a legal precedent for the murder of innocent, disabled and voiceless adults. The judiciary’s active participation in killing Ms. Schiavo was disgraceful. Our elected politicians neglected their duty to protect innocent life as well. Florida state courts and federal courts have degraded the sanctity of human life. This court-sanctioned killing of an innocent is an awful new low for an activist judiciary. The American public needs to communicate to officials at the state and federal levels their revulsion at the judiciary’s arrogance and increasing appetite for allowing and, in this case, ordering the killing of innocent, vulnerable people. For its part, Judicial Watch will continue to promote the “Culture of Life” and fight to preserve innocent lives.

I often quote James Taranto over at the Opinion Journal because he gets it right..................

Terri Schiavo, RIP
After 13 days of court-ordered dehydration and starvation, Terri Schiavo is dead. CNN reports her husband, Michael, barred her parents from her bedside before she perished:

John Centonze, the brother of Michael Schiavo's live-in girlfriend Jodi Centonze, said Michael Schiavo was with Terri Schiavo when she died.

A friend who phoned Michael Schiavo soon after news broke of his wife's death said he couldn't talk. "He (Michael) couldn't speak, he was crying," Russ Hyden said.

That John Centonze is certainly a mensch. It's not every guy who would make time to act as the spokesman for his sister's live-in boyfriend who's just lost his wife.
