CBN.com – Jeb Bush Seeks High Court Involvement in Schiavo Case

(CBN News) - Florida Governor Jeb Bush is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to take Terri Schiavo's case.

Schiavo is the 41-year old severely brain-damaged woman at the center of a long right-to-die battle.

In 2003, Gov. Bush got Florida's legislature to approve 'Terri's Law.' That law forced doctors to reinsert Schiavo's feeding tube against her husband's objections.

The Florida Supreme Court struck down 'Terri's Law' earlier this year.

The governor's attorneys argue that decision has, "ominous" implications for "the most vulnerable of our citizens who cannot speak for themselves."

(CBN News) - A Philadelphia radio reporter has resigned after she was called on the carpet for a phone message she left for a conservative group.

I wanted to tell you that you're evil horrible people. You're awful people. You represent horrible ideas. God hates you and He wants to kill your children. You should all burn in hell. Bye."

Chris Carmouche is the executive director of laptop-lobbyist.com. He says he is not sure why Buchman left the message.

But he says that this is not the first time that the organization has received hate messages from journalists.
