(Note from saveterrislife:

Here's why Gordon is opposing Terri's Law, quoted from Court Papers
filed by Gordon W. Watts on July 26, 2004:

"In support whereof, Movant cites the following: "This court is
committed to the doctrine that extraordinary relief will not be
granted in case where it plainly appears that although the
complaining party [Bush] may be ordinarily entitled to it, if the
granting of such relief in the particular case will result in
confusion and disorder and will produce an injury to the public which
outweighs the individual right of the complainant to have the relief
he seeks." State ex rel. Pooser v. Wester, 126 Fla. 49, 54 170 So.
736, 738-39 (Fla. 1936) (citations omitted; emphasis and comments
added; Justice Terrell for The Court)"

(End of quote from Court Documents filed by Gordon W. Watts)

citizens feel Terri's Law is NOT the answer! - end of note from

**_Pending Court Cases_** (of Gordon W. Watts, re: Terri Schiavo)


(Some cases are still pending; Click here for current information in
the Terri's Law case in the Supreme Court.)
Generally most recent first, but that's kind of hard because they
have different beginning and ending times.

| Brief Glossary of Terms: | Amicus Curiae - Also known as a "Friend
of the Court Brief." A brief submitted to the court by a party not
involved in the case but who claims to be affected by the outcome. |
Habeas Corpus - A Latin legal term, meaning literally, "Let's have
the body." A writ by a court ordering someone to show justifcation of
why a person is being deprived of a certain freedom or liberty. Most
frequently used by prisoners who feel they are illegally detained,
illegally sentenced to death, and also by parents who feel that their
child is not legally in the custody of the other parent. Habeas is
the oldest and most powerful writ of all, and, sometimes called
the "Great Writ," it can potentially test any illegal deprivation of
liberty or lack of protection from current and enforceable laws. |
Mandamus - A general, all purpose writ issued by the court, in which
an agency or body is commanded to perform its "ministerial duty." For
example, a lower court could be ordered to hold a hearing if law
mandates this, but the lower court could not be ordered to rule a
certain way. (A bad ruling by a lower court would be reviewable by
appeal.) The Division of Elections, for example, a state agency,
could be compelled to count votes if the law mandated such. |
Prohibition - A writ prohibiting certain illegal or erroneous action.
In Florida, Prohibition may only be issued against lower courts, due
to the way our State Constitution is written. Prohibition may only
prevent possible future actions, not correct past mistakes. | Quo
Warranto - A writ by a court asking "by what right" a certain action
is done. Most frequently, Quo Warranto is used to ask "by what right"
a person holds office, if there is doubt as to his/her legal right to
hold office. | Further terms on this page: Below, where it
says: "Small *.pdf File" and "Large *.pdf File," this means that you
have two (2) choices: A smaller file is easier to download quickly,
but a larger file is of a better photo quality. |

Comments:
The Florida Supreme Court has continued to review this case --
refusing-- to dismiss it after over six (6) months. This alone should
dispell myths that Mr. Watts does not have standing to pursue the
petitions -or that the tact he's taking is somehow devoid of legal
basis. Indeed, valid cases get dismissed by the courts all the time
in short order, not the least of which was this case's "twin," 2D03-
5211, which was tossed by the Florida 2nd DCA after only one day
of "consideration." FLORIDA'S HIGH COURT could very well have chosen
to do the same but did not, for at least one reason: The case has
legal basis. Secondly, it is hypothosized that the thought of news
media looking on -"the world looking on," so to speak -keeps lower
elements in check, in a sort of perverse "checks and balences," in
which the fourth estate (news media) serves as a sort of fourth
branch of government.

Comments:
This case is currently before the Fla. 2nd DCA. The Fla 6th Circuit
heading has been modified to reflect this, and the Fla. 2nd DCA is
pending a review of a motion for rehearing en banc, that is, before
the full court. One would think, based on recent rulings, that the
Courts must have thought the Lawemakers were just joking when they
made it a 2nd degree felony to deprive Theresa of standard food and
water? (Prisoners and animals get better treatment than this: In
either case, we cannot kill a pet dog --or a prisoner --by
starvation, or actually death by dehydration would occur first,
because you can't live as long without precious water. Can someone
say "double standard?") Nonetheless, one mustn't be disrespectful
towards the courts, for this entity consists of many individuals, all
different and all human, but we hope for Divine inspiration to help
human persiration here.

Truth is the strongest, most stable force in the Universe.
TRUTH doesn't bend to the will of tyrants.
Gordon Wayne Watts
Get Truth.

"First, they [Nazis] came for the Jews. I was silent. I was not a
Jew. Then they came for the Communists. I was silent. I was not a
Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists. I was silent. I
was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me. There was no one
left to speak for me." (Martin Niemoller, given credit for a
quotation in The Harper Religious and Inspirational Quotation
Companion, ed. Margaret Pepper (New York: Harper &Row, 1989), 429 -as
cited on page 44, note 17, of Religious Cleansing in the American
Republic, by Keith A. Fornier, Copyright 1993, by Liberty, Life, and
Family Publications.

(Actually, they may not have come for the Jews first, as it's far
more likely they came for the prisoners, mentally handicapped, and
other so-called "inferiors" first -as historians tell us -so they
could get "practiced up;" But, they did come for them -due to the
silence of their neighbors -and due, in part, to their own silence.
So the general idea is correct: "Speak up now, or forever hold your
peace." --gordon)
