The catch is that she's not actually in a persistent vegetative state.

Thankfully, this is not a catch. You see, the court has established that she is, so in effect the courts have established that she indeed meets the requirements of the law.

If they now claim she is not in a vegetative state, then of course they eliminate the justifications for their previous rulings allowing the feeding tube to be removed---and the feeding tube goes back in.

Either way, this bill works for Terri Schiavo, unless some Federal judge intervenes.

I don't see how that could possibly happen. Federal courts have already refused to hear the appeals.
