From a legal point of view- which course would be wiser for Terri's family- asking the 11th to hear this en banc- or going to the SCOTUS?

If you forgo the opportunity for an en banc panel, then you only get one more shot (USSCt), and that is a tough shout....of course, you are racing the clock in this case.

Have to try en banc, since there was one dissent, and some hope.

Personally, IMHO, I think that the Congress tried to get cute, made an assumption that was completely errant, and is going to be on the losing side in this one.

Neither, it is the Florida legislature or she dies.
