A state judge issued an emergency order Wednesday to keep the Department of Children & Families from taking any action that would reconnect Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube. George Felos, the attorney for Michael Schiavo, asked Pinellas Circuit Judge George Greer to issue the order Wednesday while the judge considers a request from DCF and Gov. Bush to take custody of Terri Schiavo.

This may explain the delay.

Thanks for the email address.
Here's a website that you can click a link on and it will email ALL of the Florida state senators at once! Let's tell them how we feel. School down past the county information to the State Senators. And it also gives the phone numbers of each of them, so those who have unlimited cell phone minutes and free time!

"VERY close to driving down there"
Go, please go!!!
I am a lot farther away; but depending on what happens next, I may have to make the trip. I would think there would be enough people close enough to make a real BIG impact; but if not enough will show up, I feel I would have to . . .
I already thought about a sign: I THIRST
Can you link me?
**MEDIA BIAS ALERT**
Just channel-surfing and I caught Brother O'Donnell interviewed by Anderson Cooper on CNN. Brother said that Greer's order was not that Terri's feeding tube MAY be removed but that it SHALL be.
After dismissing Brother, Cooper said something about CNN wanting to be impartial and just wanted to set the record straight, and that Brother O'Donnell's assertion that Terri's case is unique in her feeding tube SHALL be removed was wrong and that there was another case where it was court ordered that someone's feeding tube SHALL be removed.
Inference being Brother O'Donnell was lying. But Cooper never said he was wrong about Greer's order in particular. Very shoddy reporting IMO.
The excrement is about to hit the fan.

There needs to be a nuclear option to remove any state judge by a majority of the vote in a state election IMO.
You're so right.
Jeb.....in God's name go get her NOW!
The DCF with their lead attorney and Jeb's lead attorney to answer the questions from the media and IMHO it was set up to tell the world DCF was submitting an affidavit with new information to Greer and that DCF had the authority according to a Florida statute to remove Terri and put her in their protective custody.
Personally I would drive her out of the State if it were me and get her away from FL jurisdiction and let Greer howl all he wants.
I think you are probably correct re emergency situations. If Greer's court is a State court, rather than a county court, (and it probably is) then you are again correct. I didn't think it through as well as you did!
Stop trying to create a Banana Republic.
I haven't heard about any agreement between Greer and Michael. I wouldn't be surprised if there was - because I don't see any reason for the husband to demand she die.
The only "new evidence" I've heard about is from another doctor who believes Terri may have been misdiagnosed.
And .. I might add - I think this guy concurs with Dr. Frist's colleagues who also did not believe Terri had PVS.

Yeah, he's like all those republicans the media tried to trot out that just couldn't vote for Bush. And also, people will try to claim Hitler was a Christian, but when you read his quotes that he was the one that would destroy Christianity and how it was for fools, and how it was for weak people that the world needs to get rid of, then you have an idea about what Hitler was really believing. And also, from now on, let's use Terri's real name: Terri Schindler!
I really do feel for Jeb on this one. He's got all the pressure in the world, and doesn't want to go against the rule of law but he wants to save Terri.
If you do not like my reply, buzz off and wait for the morning news.
"There is nothing in the law, the Constitution or the concept of "federalism" that mandates giving courts the last word. Other public officials, including governors and presidents, are sworn to uphold the law, too."

The President has already said that he's done everything that is available for him to do.
"out of the State"
There is a facility in Bavaria that offered to take her and treat her for no cost. And once there, Germany doesn't extradite to countries that have a DEATH PENALTY.
Substitue "sedition law" for whatever you think is appropriate in this case.
Thomas Jefferson to Abigail Smith Adams
Monticello, Sep 11, '04
"You seem to think it devolved on the judges to decide on the validity of the sedition law. But nothing in the Constitution has given them a right to decide for the Executive, more than to the Executive to decide for them. Both magistracies are equally independent in the sphere of action assigned to them. The judges, believing the law constitutional, had a right to pass a sentence of fine and imprisonment; because that power was placed in their hands by the Constitution. But the Executive, believing the law to be unconstitutional, was bound to remit the execution of it; because that power has been confided to him by the Constitution. That instrument meant that its co-ordinate branches should be checks on each other. But the opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional, and what not, not only for themselves in their own sphere of action, but for the Legislature & Executive also, in their spheres, would make the judiciary a despotic branch."
