I don't understand why they didn't go to the full 11th circuit first.
Terri is rapidly dying. If they were heard en banc in Atlanta, that would take hours. It would take hours for them to rule. They will probably rule against, but even if they ruled for, Felos would appeal to the Supreme Court. More hours and hours. She does not have that. It may take some more time for her to die, but at some point her kidneys shut down and there is no more reason to appeal for the tube. These are my reasons why I think they short-circuited to the Supreme Court. But all Courts always rule against Terri, don't they?
