Im so sorry guys.
:-(
Good night all!
I'm on the east coast and it's way past my bed time.
Keep praying. A miracle can happen yet.
I'd sure like to see a miracle and have Terri vindicate herself.
David Folk Thomas on Fox said the Supreme Court, but I think first it'll be the full court of the 11th in Atlanta
en banc first and then they will send a writ of certiorari to the SCOTUS, but will they agree to it? Usually they have to agree, they can deny
yeah, it will go the the full court for review, then there is the option of SCOTUS. I pray she makes it to a reversal.
Schiavo Appeal to Reconnected Tube DENIED

ATLANTA - A federal appeals court refused early Wednesday to order the reinsertion of Terri Schiavo's feeding tube, denying an emergency request by the severely brain-damaged woman's parents.
The three-judge panel ruled 2-1 to deny the request, a day after a federal judge in Florida also refused a similar appeal.
Schiavo's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, vowed yet another appeal Wednesday.
"The Schindlers will be filing an appropriate appeal to save their daughter's life," said Rex Sparklin, an attorney with the law firm representing the parents.
The Schindlers said Tuesday that their daughter was "fading quickly" and might die at any moment. The feeding tube was disconnected on Friday, and doctors have said that Terri Schiavo, 41, could survive one to two weeks without water and nutrients.

also the makeup of the full court is 5 dem appointees, 7 republican appointees. the 3 judge review was 2 clinton, and 1 Bush. So if the 'partisanship' holds, the full court should reverse.
Looking for more news I clicked CNN and after the news they had this sickening, fake propaganda piece about Michael Schiavo and his wonderful love for Terri...a piece reminiscent ala Scott Peterson....making him look like the wonderful, loving husband. I wanna spew!

Till Death Do Them Part?
Congress has granted Terri Schiavo a reprieve. In an extraordinary midnight session, the House voted 203-58 to approve a bill to restore her feeding tube--removed last week by order of a Florida judge--and grant the federal courts jurisdiction over her case. The Senate had earlier approved the measure on a voice vote, but some Democrats obstructed the effort to pass it the same way in the House, forcing Republicans to assemble a quorum for a roll-call vote. President Bush, up well past his bedtime, signed the bill into law just before 1:30 a.m.
Supporters of Michael Schiavo's effort to end his wife's life have asked how conservatives, who claim to believe in the sanctity of marriage, can fail to respect his husbandly authority. The most obvious answer is that a man's authority as a husband does not supersede his wife's rights as a human being--a principle we never thought we'd see liberals question.
But why do those of us who aren't right-to-life absolutists side with Mrs. Schiavo's parents, who want to keep her alive, over her husband, who wants her dead? It's a fair question, and it raises another one: What kind of husband is Michael Schiavo?
According to news reports, Mr. Schiavo lives with a woman named Jodi Centonze, and they have two children together. Surely any court would consider this prima facie evidence of adultery. And this is no mere fling; a sympathetic 2003 profile in the Orlando Sentinel described Centonze as Mr. Schiavo's "fiancée." Mr. Schiavo, in other words, has virtually remarried. Short of outright bigamy, his relationship with Centonze is as thoroughgoing a violation of his marriage vows as it is possible to imagine.
The point here is not to castigate Mr. Schiavo for behaving badly. It would require a heroic degree of self-sacrifice for a man to forgo love and sex in order to remain faithful to an incapacitated wife, and it would be unreasonable to hold an ordinary man to a heroic standard.
But it is equally unreasonable to let Mr. Schiavo have it both ways. If he wishes to assert his marital authority to do his wife in, the least society can expect in return is that he refrain from making a mockery of his marital obligations. The grimmest irony in this tragic case is that those who want Terri Schiavo dead are resting their argument on the fiction that her marriage is still alive.

2-1 vote to murder Terri Schiavo.
WHAT KIND OF COUNTRY ARE WE IN???
Lord Jesus have mercy on us. Grant wisdom and creativity and strength to YOUR servants in this. We ask a miracle, that you would strengthen and nourish her body. We ask a miracle that you will use this case to extend rights to all the disabled. We ask that evil will be stopped and brought into the open. We ask Your speed, Your hand, let us see Your working. We do not deserve this, but we solely come to you because of what Your Son has done for us. We now have this free access, and we want to share the Gospel with the world, but we can't if you allow evil to thrive and murder Your creations. We always want Your will, but we know Your will is not to murder.
They were saying days ago that 3 FL senators were needed to pass SB 2128 which the FL house already passed, I think.
Today, Terri's mom said only 1 vote was need as two were swayed to change their vote.
I don't know why but since early this evening, while gone from the house, the Lord put it upon me to pray for the FL senate. The thought of that one senator, whomever it is, kept coming into my thoughts and so I prayed in that direction. I think we must continue to pray for that one heart to be softened and swayed, whomever it is.
Dear Lord God, creator of the universe, maker of heaven and earth, please, we beg you to soften the heart of the one man or woman in the FL senate who may be be swayed to vote for SB 2128. I will pray without ceasing for this person.
Please sustain Terri through the night and tomorrow. In Jesus name. Amen
Gut feeling says we are going to get the sad news soon.
I feel so angry, sick and more anger at this point.
I heard on the radio that they are going to appeal to the Supreme Court, who refused to hear the case twice.
Was it the U.S. Supreme Court?
Good news that there was a dissent. Raises hopes for reversal.
It ain't over till it's over.
WHAT KIND OF COUNTRY ARE WE IN???
One that God wouldn't approve of...the kind he destroys with fire and plagues....we're headed that way
I believe they did add that.
He heard you. He's still hearing us. Keep praying.
