Pryor was a Dubya appointee. And for clarification, despite the media's gleeful reporting that the rehearing was denied by a 10-2 vote, the 11th Cir. does not release the vote tally. So even though, two judges issued dissents, we do not know what the actual results of the vote, nor how Pryor voted.

You people really need to stop throwing our own overboard and blame the bad guys in this situation; Greer, Felos and Michael Schiavo.

Very well stated and thanks for the information about the Court. I don't want activists judges no matter what -- I want judges who rule on the law period. Even if I don't like what is ruled, I want it based on the law. I thought that is what conservatives always wanted?

You have a technical point. But I subscribe to Dubya's position (and Mat. 12:30 & Luke 11:23), he that is not with me is against me. Pryor said nothing. He has some 'splainin' to do.

No it wasn't. His premise was wrong, his facts wrong and the conclusions drawn from the facts were wrong. It was like reading a conservative Paul Krugman."

That line was precious. The true vote from the 11th circuit appeal was 7 to 5 against, reported in NRO Corner, the mainstream media (after giving the wrong numbers), and in this blog:

People like this poster post this garbage because they are the instruments of Greer, Felos, and Michael Schiavo. They've joined with that trio of death in an unholy alliance to use the imminent death of Terri to promote their agenda - a hatred of Bush. I call them pathetic cowards and tools of the merchants of death.

I didn't know that -- is this specific to the 11th or true of all the Circuits?

It seems to me that in the best interests of accountability (yes, I know they're not elected but I couldn't think of a better word) that the names of the judges who voted to accept or deny an appeal should be published.
