Thank you, msmagoo.

The legally blind but Honorable George W. Greer
unfortunately won't be able to read it, but perhaps
someone will tell him about it and the Justice will
find it clear and convincing evidence.

I love your wit! My emotions tend to boil over when I read something like this from Mary Jo Melone. As usual, it's a pro-Felos piece. I read that the reason Felos backed out of the deal had nothing to do with getting the Schindlers to agree to abide by the results of the swallowing tests. Instead, Felos and MS told Wolfson they didn't recognize his authority to make any agreement, because they believe his position and Terri's Law, through which he was appointed, is unconstitutional:

"Terri's father, Bob Schindler, said his son, Bob Schindler, Jr., suggested the mediation effort with the hope of establishing that Terri could recover and should receive proper medical and rehabilitative care that was stopped years ago.

"Our objective has always been the same, to get her some kind of treatment," Schindler told Knight Ridder Tribune.

However, George Felos, the assisted suicide advocate who is serving as Michael's attorney, says Michael Schiavo never agreed to anything like what Wolfson suggests was discussed.

Felos says Michael, throughout the process, claimed Terri's Law was unconstitutional and, therefore, so was Wolfson's appointment as an independent guardian.

"We don't want to participate in settlement negotiations suggested by the guardian ad litem because we don't agree that his appointment was proper,'' Felos told the Tampa Tribune newspaper.

Yet Wolfson writes that "all three parties ... actively participated in the [mediation] process."
