Will no one on here focus on how bad her legal team has become? The Federal Judges can only rule on what is before them. Her parents legal team started off with a bad pleading and never seemed to get it right.

Judge Greer is the out of control judge. The Federal Judges ruled on what they were given.

I have made it a point to stay off these threads....but this ruling.....is just to shocking to keep quiet.

I'm in shock.

I'm sure these guys have made some mistakes, but you have to say they've done a great job. These guys are basically doing the same thing that the Bush v Gore lawyers did without the big guns AND with about 1/1000th of the resources. On top of that, they probably know they're never going to get paid for this.

What really frosts me though is to have someone like Jay Sekulow (from Pat Robertson's law school) be critical of the parents lawyers, yet not be in there offering his own legal skills. Where are the conservative lawyers on this?

Why should anyone be surprised that courts that condone sucking the brains out of defencless babies would have a problem with starving a defenceless woman to death? This was a done deal from the get go. I expect starving centers to spring up all over the country. After all caring for a unwanted/defenceless family member is at least as big a drag as having a to care for an unwanted/defenceless baby.

Why didn't someone get a better lawyers on the case

I hear Geeer refused to unseal hear medical records now

I agree. I was shocked when I heard some of the parents' pleadings. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I heard a reporter on Fox say the pleadings failed to call for an immediate reinsertion of the feeding tube to allow time for a de neuvo review. I also believe he said they failed to specifically request the de neuvo review. Did anyone else hear this report on FOX last night? I want to make sure I heard it correctly, because it's hard to believe.

Good grief, the appellants have to at least ask for this stuff! They failed to hire an experienced appellate lawyer, and as far as the reporter knew, they were not planning to hire someone with experience at the Supreme Court level. Some of the trial pleadings argue faulty theological points as though they were law, especially centering on Terri's future stay in purgatory, instead of arguing Terri's Constitutional Right to practice her religion.

Were I in the parents' position, I would hire a new legal team and explore the possibility that Terri failed to get adequate legal representation.
