USSC Refuses to Take Schiavo Case

I could say I'm surprised, but...you know.

On the plus side, I do think Greer's order attempting to restrain the DCF was out of bounds. I don't hold out much hope that DCF would accomplish anything, even in the absence of such an order, but there is that.

Filing at SCOTUS was a waste of time.

Gibbs needs to get his act together, Evidently he has done so. There are two legs of this three legged stool that are grounds for overturning Greer. His "expert" testimony on PVS is garbage and there is now conflcting testimony from a disinterested neurologist who consults for DCF.

And second, Greer erred bigtime when he disregarded testimony as to Terri Schiavos state of mind vis a vis Karen Ann Quinlan. He disregarded that testimony because he stated, in a particularly snide manner btw, that Karen Ann Quinlan had died in 1976. Her parents disconnected her life support in 1985.

If she was a criminal, that alone would be enough for a new trial.
