"What we're asking for is something more than a Pilate-type defence about what's on the statute books."
This case has been argued about in court for, what, a decade now? They have reheard it again - and again - and -again-. There has been appeal after appeal after appeal. Now, 10 years later, people hear about it and think this all just started and it's getting rushed along way too quickly.
I think dismissing the efforts that have been taken to save Terri so far as a "Pilate-defense" is way too easy. Michael apparently wanted her dead from the moment he cashed in the award. If there hadn't been a very -strong- defense, she'd have died long ago.
There is a legal limit to how many appeals can be filed, and they have all been filed and heard. The Court has simply refused to hear any and all more appeals. No one, not even Jeb can force them to.

This is something that bugs me. I would be more than happy to see the judges who came up with the Oct 2003 deadline for Terri, as well as the gag order on this matter, ousted.

I-am-not-suggesting-legal-options. Okay?
The time for that is past. The woman is starving to death. Get in the car, Jeb, and get over to that hospital. Tomorrow would be ideal for the trip.
Sunday.
