Right...but if you have ever read a court opinion you will notice that it is usually filled with tons of case law. That is research work and it takes time. I am not sticking up for him, but as I said no judge wants to be overturned on appeal. We can all speculate as to why this is taking so long, and it will drive us insane, but truth is only God and that Judge know. It all depends on what exactly he is researching and does it have something to do with the new bill?? You know how angry the libs are because of the bill and I am sure they are trying to find ways to say "it's unconstitutional"....I am to a point of just satying "rule" even if against, so the 11th can get it and it is out of florida for a change, though it may get remanded back to FL after that, but then it would be Terri's denovo case...which is what we really want. Of course quick insertion of the tube is needed first and foremost. But say right now if he ruled against Terri, they'd get the appeal in right away and that court would likely from what I am hearing, put that tube back in immediately....and maybe that would be better than waiting until who knows when and tyhen still get a "no' which puts Terri in even more danger.
True, but the normal course of action in the face of immediate irreparable harm to one party would be to issue a momentary injunction to protect that party for the time required to do more evaluation. Unless the judge somehow thinks rehydrating Terri and then re-dehydrating her would do more harm than letting her dehydration continue apace.
