Yes, appeals must be made on points of law, not disputed findings of fact. (too late for that)

Since Bush entered the arena, his attorneys may use, as a supporting argument, that certain findings are disputed (conflict of interest, abuse, neglect, hearsay evidence) and because her death would be the outcome of the court's ruling, and it would be permanent, that for all intents and purposes she is being subjected to a civil execution.

The same standards applied in death penalty cases (for hearsay evidence, admissibility, bias, conflict of interest) should be applied in this case. Not to do so violates Terri's right to equal treatment and due process.

The court case can't be retried but the new law may make the previous finding (in a similar way to post-conviction DNA testing overturning the trial court's conviction) it's possible the Greer ruling could be overturned.

a civil execution

As much as I think I know sometimes, I had never heard of "civil executions" until the Terri Schindler fiasco. Now I know that they occur all over and quite often. Some people seem to rejoice in the death of the pesky infirmed "vegetables" even though they vote for politicians who are nominally committed to fight for the rights of the "disabled."
