Terri Schiavo's Husband's Lawyer to be Third-Ranking Justice Official

January 9, 2009

Not sure how many will remember the Terry Schiavo case. It was one of the greatest fights of my life next to chemtrails.

All Terry Schiavo's parents wanted was to take their daughter home and look after her at no cost to the state. She was not in a vegetative state as claimed --only unable to articulate--though there is testimony from a nurse that she could to a limited extent--and there were videos showing her to be responsive.

She was eventually--after a long fight--'terminated' through starvation and thirsting her to death. People dying of thirst (which happens before starving to death) have their inner organs stick together as a result of lack of fluid... Death process from thirsting/starving to death: http://www.rense.com/general63/proc.htm

But then she was in a vegetative state and couldnt feel anything...Right? WRONG! Affidavit of caretaking nurse (not allowed to testify) http://www.rense.com/general63/aff.htm attesting to the fact that care/rehabilitation had been cut off by her husband--and that she was often alert and could indeed feel and even speak to some extent.

It took her two weeks to die....agonizingly...in the dark...alone...

The role of her husband in the incident (claimed as a heart attack---though she had multiple fractures and bruises-again not allowed or dismissed by the courts) that led to her plight was very suspect to anyone who has eyes to see. In any case he had a new family, which he started immediately after her 'incident'. He wound up with most of the money from the insurance--which if memory serves me right he took out just weeks before the 'incident'. This lawyer got him off--and won the right for him to kill his wife--as she was showing signs (in spite of all he could do) she may eventually recover and implicate him.

During her time in hospice she was not allowed to be fed normally though it was shown she could be fed--nor was she allowed visits from her family --only occasionally after long court battles. No sunshine was allowed into the room and she was not allowed any music or stimulation of any sort--all at the order of her caretaker husband. Her family were not allowed to be with her as she was being killed--no one was--only her 'loving husband' spent the last few moments with her. She died alone in this horrible horrible way. Any medical personell who tried to help her were dismissed and threatened.

What this essentially means is that the disabled and elderly who cannot speak up for themselves are at the mercy of the state to be 'terminated' at will. This is the accepted way of terminating people who are unable to speak for themselves.

In a sense Terry was lucky---she had her family fighting for her. Most others don't.

A very good analysis here:

Obama Makes Lawyer for Terri Schiavo's Husband Third-Ranking Justice Official

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Barack Obama has named the lawyer who represented Terri Schiavo’s husband Michael in his efforts to kill his disabled wife as the third highest attorney in the Justice Department. Thomas Perrelli, who won an award for representing Schiavo's former husband, had served on Obama's transition team.

The incoming president made Perrelli an associate attorney general and his appointment is generating scorn from pro-life advocates.

Perrelli provided Michael Schiavo with legal advice during his response to the Congressional bill that President Bush signed allowing the Schindler family to take their lawsuit seeking to prevent Terri’s euthanasia death from state to federal courts.

He led the legal team that developed the legal briefs for Michael opposing appeals and he ultimately received the Albert E. Jenner, Jr. Pro Bono Award in October 2006 for representing Terri’s former husband at no cost.

Andrea Lafferty, executive director of the Traditional Values Coalition, told the Washington Times Tuesday that Obama's appointment of Perrelli is "just another death-peddler Obama has added to his list of nominees."

Tom McClusky, vice president for government affairs at the Family Research Council, also told the Times that any number of end-of-life issues could involve the Justice Department and having Perrelli involved would be detrimental.

"If the Justice Department isn't going to do anything about it, the states, what's to stop them from cases like Schiavo and even worse cases," he said.On Michael’s legal team, Perrelli worked with infamous pro-euthanasia attorney George Felos as well as lawyers from the Florida chapter of the ACLU.

Obama’s selection of Perrelli as a top Justice Department attorney is no surprise given his comments on Terri’s painful 13-day starvation and dehydration death during the presidential campaign.During his debate with Hillary Clinton in the Democratic presidential primary, Obama said his biggest mistake was voting with a unanimous Senate to help save Terri.

In March 2005, just weeks before Terri died, Congress approved legislation allowing her family to take its case from state courts to federal courts in an effort to stop the euthanasia from proceeding.

Terri was not on any artificial breathing apparatus and only required a feeding tube to eat and drink. Her family had filed a lawsuit against her former husband to allow them to care for her and give her proper medical and rehabilitative care.

The Senate unanimously approved a compromise bill, which the House eventually supported on a lopsided bipartisan vote and President Bush signed, to help the disabled woman.

Obama said he should have stood up against the life-saving legislation.

“It wasn't something I was comfortable with, but it was not something that I stood on the floor and stopped,” Obama said.

“And I think that was a mistake, and I think the American people understood that was a mistake. And as a constitutional law professor, I knew better,” he added.

That wasn't the first time Obama said he regretted supporting the bill to protect the disabled woman.

During an April 2007 debate, Obama said, "I think professionally the biggest mistake that I made was when I first arrived in the Senate. There was a debate about Terri Schiavo, and a lot of us, including me, left the Senate with a bill that allowed Congress to intrude where it shouldn't have.”

"And I think I should have stayed in the Senate and fought more for making sure [Terri's parents couldn't take their case to federal court to save her life]," he explained.

Since Terri’s death, the Schindler family has established a foundation to help disabled and elderly patients obtain proper medical care and legal and other assistance when they are denied it.
