Schiavo's parents appeal to Supreme Court to reinsert daughter's feeding tube
By HOPE YEN Associated Press Writer
(AP) - WASHINGTON-Terri Schiavo's parents made a desperate appeal to the Supreme Court, asking justices to order resumption of nourishment for their severely brain-damaged daughter.
In the emergency filing on Wednesday, Bob and Mary Schindler say their 41-year-old daughter faces an unjust and imminent death based on a decision by her husband to remove a feeding tube without strong proof of her consent. They alleged constitutional violations of due process and religious freedom.
The filing also argues Congress intended for Schiavo's tube to be reinserted, at least temporarily, when it passed an extraordinary bill last weekend that gave federal courts authority to fully review her case.
Time is of the essence. Schiavo's feeding tube was removed last Friday and doctors have said she likely would die within a week or two at a hospice in Pinellas Park, Florida.
The filing is seen as a long shot. The Supreme Court has declined other opportunities to get involved in the Schiavo case and legal experts say there is little reason to believe justices will intervene this time.
The Schindlers' request goes first to Justice Anthony Kennedy, a Reagan appointee who has staked a moderate position on social issues. He has the option to act on the petition alone or refer it to the entire court, which he did on the last emergency request involving Schiavo.
There was no immediate word when the Supreme Court might act on the petition.

I would think that someone in that hospice is giving info to DCF or someone on the Shindlers side.
DCF was able to go in early this evening to look at her. Someone posted that earlier.
well at least I did , that's for sure!!!
LOL, That reminds of Bill Murray's character in "Groundhog Day" when he calls that female newsreader, "Hair-Do".
Legal briefs here, legal briefs there.
It is probably an amicus brief in support of the appeal the schindlers made to SCOTUS and can only help.
I bet it wouldn't take but ten minutes of honest reading and reflection to see the truth, so long as one has a moral base to stand on. I was dissapointed to hear what Shep was saying, though I haven't watched Foxnews in quite some time so I didn't see him or the others. I just haven't watched any news at all lately. I get my news here and pretty much have ignored the tv completely except for the occasional movie.
LOLOLOL!!!!!! Now that is the most I have laughed all day. Thanks for lightening up my heavy heart!
Consider it bumped.
Eleanor Clift is so irritating. She and Estrich are so obnoxious.
"wasn't it 1:30 pm eastern time when they took the feeding tube out?"
Yes, Friday, 1:30 pm.
I suppose. I sure couldn't handle hearing that voice coming from next door.
Maybe if she switched to a pipe instead of cigars....
But because she is an adult they can't????
Why couldn't DCF defy GOON GREERS orders, those involved after prosecution can get pardoned by Bush?
At least Terri could be hydrated. They can sort everything out later.
It's really interesting to mute them and just watch facial expressions.
I didn't hear that (saving face, out for Greer).
Maybe if she switched to a pipe instead of cigars....
That might work, but only if she cut back on the Wild Turkey too.
