In the meantime, Michael Shiavo's lawyer, George Felos succeeded in getting a court to file an injunction preventing the Governor from getting protective custody of Terri Schiavo. This, after Jeb Bush stated in his press conference today that he had state statutes which permitted him to take custody of Terri. Does this latest court injunction prevent such an action? I hope not.

I don't think Greer's injunction prevents action by the governor. Jeb's lawyer said that DCF by law did not have to consider prior legal rulings, and presumably "prior legal rulings" include any of Greer's injunctions. But DCF does have to strictly adhere to the relevant Florida statute. If this happens, it won't be an Elian Gonzalez type of raid. The Florida AG will probably call the Pinnelas County sheriff and arrange a transfer of custody whereby the state police will replace the county sheriffs as guards, and then they'll move Terri to a hospital if necessary. There won't be any confrontation between the two police forces, that's for sure!

It makes one wonder how come Felos always succeeds but the other side is always up against a brick wall. I have heard all the reasons, bad advice, bad attorneys and such but give me a break. Deep down I feel there is so much more to this story than we know.
