Besides violating Terri Schiavo's right to privacy, Michael Schiavo's lawsuit against Bush contends that the hastily passed law that authorized the governor to intervene violated the separation-of-power provision of the Florida Constitution.

An attorney for Bush tried to block the lawsuit on procedural grounds, filing with the 2nd District Court of Appeal on Monday. That appeal triggered an automatic stay of Michael Schiavo's action, prompting his attorney, George Felos, to file a motion Wednesday to override the stay so the case can move forward.

What happened today means that Bush hasn't lost his appeal for venue, or where the lawsuit over constitutionality will be heard. That appeal will still go the 2nd District Court of Appeal.

Baird did say that the stay which was triggered by Bush's appeal will be lifted, meaning MS can still battle the constitionality lawsuit before Baird pending the Appeal Court's decision.

The 'stay' lifted is not the stay signed into law ordering Terri's feeding to resume.
