I remembe that, really well.
However on Monday Gibbs had a Motion before Judge Greer to permit terri to be fed by mouth if her feeding tube were removed.

The Empire Journal has a disclaimer on their story, saying that Judge Greer has not ruled on this motion

I am really anxious to find out about this particular motion of the Schindlers.

Here's an excerpt from another source, as well:

At Tuesday's hearing, Greer announced he will not allow the Schindlers to attempt to feed their daughter orally once the tube is removed.

The judge said he will rule today on whether to hear testimony from doctors in support of the parents' request for more medical tests.

Also, Greer is considering the Schindlers' request for a new trial based on a mistake the judge made in his finding that testimony from Michael Schiavo and his relatives showed Terri Schiavo made statements prior to falling ill indicating she would not want to be kept alive by artificial means with no hope of recovery.

In his 2000 ruling, Greer discounted testimony from a key Schindler witness based on the mistaken assumption that Karen Ann Quinlan died in the mid-1970s after a high-profile New Jersey court ruling resulted in her removal from life support.

Quinlan went on to live for nine years without life support, a fact that went unmentioned when a former close friend of Terri Schiavo testified in 2000 that Schiavo expressed disapproval of the Quinlan family decision to remove the woman from life support, Schindler attorney David Gibbs argued Tuesday.

The witness, Diane Meyer, said the exchange took place in 1982 when Schiavo was 19. Greer concluded it took place when Schiavo was a child and not ``some six years after the death of Karen Ann Quinlan.''

``It would be a travesty to think that a person's life would be ended ... based on a mistake,'' Gibbs said.

Past quote of Judge Greer that most of us have seen:
"I don't want anyone trying to feed that girl.
The law of the case is that she is going to die."
