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.
This is what Felos wanted:
If he had to file an appeal, that Terri would have to wait for 8 more hours to have her tube reinserted.
Nite!

Lawyer: Schiavo Ruling Expected Soon
"The appeals court didn't indicate when it might rule, but George Felos, the attorney for Terri's husband, Michael Schiavo, told the Associated Press that he expected a decision before daybreak Wednesday."
and
"The Justice Department also filed a court statement, saying an injunction was "plainly warranted" to carry out the wishes of Congress to provide federal court jurisdiction over the case. Unless the feeding tube is reinserted, the department said, Schiavo may die before the courts can resolve her family's claims. "No comparable harm will be caused" by letting Schiavo live while the case is reviewed, the filing said. "
Daley sounds like a "Euthanize Not In My Name" Democrat. Good for him!
You have been doing just fine. Stay in there.
"Michael, Scott, and Scott's wife? Was the third Scott's wife??????"
~~~~~~~~~
Yes.
And what's worse, it's claimed that the third one was "Terri's best friend" -- I heard someone last night, I think one of the friends of Terri, say that Joan was never Terri's friend!
See this for a reference to Joan as her best friend:

Not only the act, but watching himm die of dehydration is msoemthing that people who do wish they hadn't.
And sadly, that part of this issue is NOT discussed on teevee, they also lie and say it is "painless", a HUGE LIE
Wow. You should send that to your local paper.
Whatever reason Schavio's team gives will be a distraction. They're figuring another 8 hours will drain Terri even more. And add on about another 8-12 hours after that for any results from whatever bogus briefs they file to start trickling in.
I understand that, and you make a cogent, concise argument. But the judge is a bit hamstrung by the case plead to him. Sometimes a judge will step outside of the pleadings and correct the party who made the formal error (if there is one). In this case, if Gibbs had asserted in his pleading that Greers finding that Terri wanted to die was wrong, and demanded a new trial based on the legislation, then the court would have had to adress that head on. I think it will have to, but it would have been better sooner instead of later.
That attitude is what's wrong with this country. Once we abandoned the concept of honor, we were screwed.
Also, there is no way the dates could be wrong. Nothing from today has been posted then, right?
The minute today's ruling is available we will know...remember you have 3 judges now looking at this...
I will call my senators and congressman tomorrow, FWIW. (They are all Democrats.)
You're right, I had forgotten about the Daleys' little boy who died so young, I think he was 4. It was of course wrenching for them.
Now I understand where he's coming from. He gets it.
I have to disagree with you here. The people of Florida re-elected judge Greer. They elect and support the judges and legislators in their state who not only allow a husband to kill his wife, but sanction it!
We CHOOSE to boycott those who elect a judge and legislators who will not even allow a disabled woman to attempt eating by mouth; thus showing the true motivation is not trying to follow Terri's "wishes" not to be kept alive "artificially" , but instead to get rid of all disabled people, starting with Terri.
If mercy and morality will not get them to act and save a life, perhaps economic hardship will?
But, absent something in writing, we don't know what Terri would want....but common sense would say, she never thought of starvation and dehydration as being "artificial life support," especially since, when she would have expressed any wishes, that was a felony. The law was changed to allow for that by her Michael Schaivo's attorney, AFTER Terri could not speak for herself.
Nope, not yet. The Justices said they would work through the night. They know Terri's life is hanging.
how about urging more conservatives to move to Florida.
