Tonight it is, March 22, 2005, over five days since Theresa Marie Schiavo commenced her ordeal of purposeful and legally sanctioned dehydration and starvation. We await a decision from the three judge panel from Eleventh Judicial Circuit as to her fate, as her family struggles with seeing Terri's physical health deteriorate.
Great is he entered duty to the 11th in 1999 that means Clinton put him in! NICE, real nice! GGGRRRRRRR!!!
Now someone saying about Judge Whitteman, "He rules with his head, not with his heart."
Well, DUH!!!!!!! That's OBVIOUS!!!!!!!! We need someone who has a heart!!!!
EC, is your son with your right now? You need someone with you.
If Fla. DCFS has an open investigation ongoing, why can't Jeb or DCFS put her in protective custody until investigation finished?
Well, I don't understand how Gibbs could make such an error of judgement, or does it matter? Has the court already decided what it will do on the basis of news reports and pressure from the FL judges? I don't see how Gibbs can be expected to cover ever base in such a scenario. I wonder how long he had to argue. I do not believe Terri's fight has been under consideration for twelve hours now.
Great, another Clinton appointee! Are you sure these are the judges overseeing Terri's case at the 11th? if it is I'm going to puke!
I sure hope you're right that they aren't trying to run down the clock. Unfortunately, I know that in emergency matters such as this, all papers are filed simultaneously in all of the courts that are likely to hear appeals at the same time they are filed in the trial court (i.e., the federal district court). Therefore, the Eleventh Circuit panel has had at least two full days to consider the issues and begin drafting an opinion based on the arguments it anticipates that it will receive. The reason they can do that is that parties can't raise new arguments or issues for the first time on appeal. Therefore, whatever was presented to the district court will be what the appellate court has to rule on. Maybe they will surprise me, but in my experience, emergency rulings granting relief are usually issued very promptly.
Terri is saved by God. The form of salvation has been the restoration of loving care. I thank God that this is so. Amen
None of us knows the answer to your questions. We are/have been totally frustrated by the unreasonableness of the whole thing. There is no sense to it whatsoever - unless there is something more going on than we are aware of. All I know for sure is that I am witnessing a type of cruelty I never knew existed, except in history books. It is unbelievable.
Yes, he's a clintoid, but he was confirmed under the leadership of Trent Lott!
Turn off your computer and relax for a couple of hours. You won't do anyone any good by having a heart attack and dying at your computer. We're trying to save life here - yours is no less valuable than any other.
In my prayers, EC....it is so hard when these things pile up....
Judgment of the district court is Vacated and Remanded with instructions; Application for COA Granted In Part & Denied As Moot In Part; Motion for Injunction Denied Without Prejudice; Mandate issued immediately. (EEC/FMH/CRW)
Ok, this one would have been appointed by Bush Sr. Still, one justice Conservative and the others liberal is not sitting well with me!
Because it was a local court with a tremendous good-ole boys network.
It went unchecked because my soon to be NOT Gov. Jeb has a govt. filled with people who are corrupt as the living daylights.
If you check the records, people have complained for YEARS...fallen on deaf ears, and a judge who decided he was going to rule the way he wanted with appeals courts not hearing cases and the SCOTUS not hearing it either.
This is the worst kind of judicial abuse, and I think due to the fact that Delay and Santorum are experiencing firsthand what activist judges are doing, things will start changing. The legislative body need to tell the judicial to start doing their jobs or be subject to impeachment or recall. If no recall procedures...criminal charges!!!!
You do not have to have a login and password. Just go to the public website, www.ca11.uscourts.gov.
Has this been proven or at least shown in testimony or are you just speculating?
My prayers for Terri; her family; all those who know and love her. . .and for all of us; should this Court decision stand.
Correction, 1993. Not counting the strangulation of course.
