The article linked in #33 reads:

"A Pinellas Circuit Court judge has issued an emergency stay that will keep Terri Schiavo's feeding tube in place until 5 p.m. Wednesday."

The judge is not named. I doubt if Greer would do this, but I don't know what his official title is.

MSNBC is saying that a "lower court" issued the stay.

I'm confused about which court is doing what.

"In asking for the court order, she told Greer that her husband forced himself on her sexually, burned her belongings and said she was possessed by the devil. Greer ruled that she didn’t have “enough proof” that her husband was violent because she said he had not been physically violent----yet....."

"Two weeks later, Helene McGee was dead, stabbed to death . "

"Why does this have to be so difficult? Award custody of Terry to her parents and send him packing. Then there won't be this controversy."

====

Exactly. I don't understand why doesn't the court do exactly that. It has been very clear for a long time, that her husband does not have her best interest at heart.

This should not be going through the court as a controversy over pulling the plug, it should be over who is guardian. It is mindboggling, that the court didn't designate her parents as guardians.

...what does he stand to gain by her death that a divorce wouldn't do?

Both halves of any community property.

Call me dramatic, but I believe Satan is actively involved in this case. Although I do not believe ANYONE (regardless of whether he be in a vegetative state or not) should be starved and dehydrated to death, the fact that Terry Schiavo is not even in such a state would make her death a particular "coup" for the Forces of Darkness.

Will ask St. Jude too. He is the patron saint of hopeless cases and has come through for us many times over in our lives. St. Jude, spare Terri Schiavo one of Gods precious children and protect her from the snares of the devil!

I order you divorced from this woman, you no longer have any responsibilities for her, you have no further rights in her care, you are restrained from being within 5 miles of her presence, parents, she is yours to care for hereafter

Not so long ago, a man who had a) begun living with another woman, b) had two children with her would have been presumed to have divorced his wife. The woman would have been able to petition to have that fact established. Since the woman in this case if physically unable to do so, someone should have been appointed to be her advocate - and not the intended defendant in the case. That's just a bit obvious, and one more tiny little point of judicial misconduct that Greer has engaged in.

It gives him pleasure.

The trial judge Greer issued this stay. There is a hearing scheduled tomorrow, and it appears he issued the stay pending his hearing the latest motion. On another note, here is another ridiculous quote from Felos:

Felos said Michael Schiavo is legally obligated under previous rulings to have the tube removed once all legal barriers have been cleared.

He makes it sound as though the only reason Schiavo would do this is because of a court order. An order initiated by Schiavo himself. It's in this story about the stay: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,148366,00.html

You wrote: "good news, if even only temporarily" Life itself is temporary, no? So let's keep Terry alive with hour prayers one day at a time.

Peace.

Terri can't request it because Michael is her legal voice and he won't

Ultimately the court is her guardian. If the appointed guardian has a conflict of interest in a particular decision, the court should so find and appoint someone who does not, or take the decision on itself, in which case interested parties can weigh in on a particular matter.

Clearly that hasn't happened in this case, or Greer has considered it and denied it. In which case, he has once again demonstrated his unfitness to consider the case.
