the Judge is a man and the Judge said he was going to study the case before making a ruling...most Judges do this. The law only gave Terri the right to have her case looked at again on a "fresh basis" so the Judge needs to look at what was put before him and he has to weigh the arguments made by Gibbs and Felos. There was nothing in that law ordering that her feeding tub was to be inserted why the case was being decided...the lawmakers "hoped" that the Judge would order it reinserted.
First, they did not only hope, I heard them say that no federal judge would delay putting the tube in while they deliberated because that is totally against precedent and would be very irresponsible. Well, he is doing exactly that. I called him she because I heard Randall Terry on Sean say that, several times. Thought he would know. Finally, the judge has made several comments already, and it is plain to everyone that he sounds strongly inclined to rule against Terri, but he will not rule but continues to delay and delay. There must be a reason for that. He was even quoted as saying that since Terri survived six days last time this was done, there is no hurry to rule. But her people are reporting that Terri's skin is cracking and everything is drying out. They are very upset and worried.
But there was a request filed by Gibbs for an emergency injunction and restraining order.
Do you think when Gibbs was before this judge, he mentioned the horrible treatment of Terri all these years,
or did he just make the point about her civil rights being denied, such as against her religion, not having her own lawyer, and a 3rd point that I've forgotten.
