There is news. Read post 4,424. The hearing tonight went terribly. Not just because of the judge, but because of bad legal representation by Gibbs. This is NOT about whether Terri is being murdered, That is not a good legal argument. Congress passed a law requiring the Federal Court to do a de novo review of the facts of the case. Such as is Terri in PVS and did she wish to die this way. That is what is in dispute and what Gibbs should argue. He did not and we most probably lost the hearing. That is news.

Praise, pray all you want. That is a passive response. I prefer action. We might have won this if we had better lawyers that concentrated on winning legal issues. Gibbs & Co were in over their heads. We needed a David Bois or even Alan Dershowitz. Maybe you should have prayed for better legal council. Maybe we lose on these kind of important issues because many on our side are so busy praying, which is a passive activity, rather then taking real action.
