Congress passed legislation making this a federal case. The federal court then reviewed it, and decided against the Schindlers.

The pro-Terri forces got what they wanted...another court reviewing the case. It didn't go quite how they wanted.

Tell me, would ANY result other than an order to reinsert the feeding tube have been acceptable? If you wanted a pre-ordained result, why even have courts?

Such would have been a Kangaroo court.

the Federal Court did not review it. They basically ignored it. The Decision said as much. and the Majority had to footnote their opinion explaining why common sense and logic applied in the dissent didnt really matter.


The Legislation required a De Novo review. That means New, from scratch to you and me Rusty, that didnt happen here now did it?

No New Medical testimony, no nothing...Common sense dictates at least that much. We are talking about the death of someone, yet neither court could be troubled to do its own fact finding, instead saying"we can only go by the letter of the law(I guess thy never heard of court appointed experts).

Well, as I pointed out, that was Eichmanns defense as well.
