This is so sad and infuriating at the same time.

The courts are killing an innocent, disabled woman for the sheer convenience of it.

Words fail me.

In all honesty, I don't think the Florida courts care one way or the other, and I'll bet they wished they weren't the focus once again.

They do have a Florida law to interpret, and they do have a fact case. They do have to make rulings.

It's not as if the Florida courts went out on a mission to kill Terri. The case was brought to them.

If they made any mistakes, it was at the trial court level. I've read the appellate opinions and they seem to be sound legal reasoning.

What's questionable is the finding of facts at the trial court level. And those make all the difference in the world to this case.

Amazingly, the Schindlers didn't ask the federal court to look at those findings of fact. They chose to pursue some rather weak constitutional arguments in Federal District Court. The facts are what matters, and they were given a green light to open them up to scrutiny again.

They didn't, and unless they do in the next few days, it's all going to be moot.
