This will get appealed to the Supreme Court. With Rhenquist coming back yesterday, we may have a chance there. I don't know if his return is related to this case at all, but it's quite the coincidence.
Do not count on the Supreme Court taking this case. They've done a brilliant job of avoiding it twice now.
The Supreme Court as a last-ditch hope? They are as big a part of the problem of judicial tyranny over the legislative and executive branches as the rest of them. They are all in it together, if you look at the big picture, not isolate out situations here and there. Rehnquist could return just to act on an appeal, not to agree with it. Even if he agreed, he is most often in the minority. If not the 11th Circuit in Atlanta, a generally conservative court, what other court would give relief to Terri and her poor family?
Our only hope. Wasn't Rehnquist the one who wrote the dissent on Roe v Wade? I know this from personal experience. A man who has recently battled cancer has a soft heart and a new respect for life. Go, Rehnquist.
