CNN had a short "legal" discussion on Terri's condition this morning. The ACLU rep said that Gov. Bush's action (ordering the tube reinserted) would be overturned in court Monday. The other attorney (supporting Terri) also agreed it will be overturned quickly.

Any thoughts from legal Freepers on this??

Let the societal engineering judges overturn the law from the legislature--the socialist Florida judicial oligarchy courts have allowed the violation of Terri's federal and state constitutional rights to proceed anyway. Then, let the pondscum on the benches try to enforce their scoialist bilge spittle!

If there were any doubts in folks minds as to why the democrats obstruct and obfuscate over judge appointments, this should be a damn clear wakeup call that the democrat criminal enterprise wants to mutate this nation using the only means to engineer us they have left, the societal engineering courts! Time for democrats to ALL go. Then we hold the pubby's feet to the fire until they legislate as the people demand!

Any thoughts from legal Freepers on this??

Another legal question:

If the so-called "husband" already has a second common-law marriage complete with one kid and another one on the way, wouldn't Terri's parents have a strong case for petitioning to annul Terri's marriage?

The conflict of interest is obvious. Imagine if Terri were to regain some of her faculties with therapy. What would Hubby say to Terri?

"Terri, I'd like you to meet my common-law wife and our two kids.....Well, not our kids as in "you and I" ours......They're our kids as in "her and I" ours ......And....uhhh....We have a nice house....Well, not "you and I" have a house but "we", which has not included you, have a house and.....uhhhhh.......Terri, I'm divorcing you.

20. In January, 2000, the Petition was tried to Hon. George W. Greer. No
attorney, no guardian ad litem, or any other independent voice represented
Terri at this trial. At this trial, Schiavo remembered, for the first time, that
Terri had told him sometime during the 1980s that she would not want to
survive on "anything artificial."
