Schindlers' Options Dwindle to Hearing Tonight with Federal Judge (Motion DENIED)
AP ^ | March 24, 2005

Posted on 03/24/2005 4:45:17 PM PST by West Coast Conservative

A federal court hearing has started in one of the last effort attempts by Terri Schiavo's parents to restore their daughter's feeding tube.

But the judge already has turned down the parents once. Bob and Mary Schindler are asking for an emergency order to reinsert the feeding tube in the brain-damaged woman.

The hearing in Tampa is before U.S. District Judge James Whittemore. He turned the Schindlers down once, as did a federal appeals court and the Supreme Court. A state judge, a state appeals court and the Florida Supreme Court also have all come down on the side of the husband, who wants to let his wife die after 15 years in what some doctors call a vegetative state.

The latest defeat for the Schindlers was today when a state judge said he won't go along with Governor Jeb Bush's request to order the feeding tube reinserted. The governor had said that new allegations of abuse of Terri Schiavo need to be investigated. The governor also tried to challenged the diagnosis that Terri Schiavo is in a persistent vegetative state.

Some may trust in horses (lawyers) and some may trust in chariots (judges), but we will trust in the name of our GOD!Forgive me, God, for thinking they are the power. YOU ARE THE POWER. I praise YOU for giving ME the KEYS TO THE KINGDOM. I BIND all devils - you cannot kill, steal, or destroy this woman. You are under my feet because JESUS CHRIST is in me. All of this is for your glory - to call an ungodly nation to REPENT and turn back to YOUR WORD AND OBEY YOU.

I completely agree. Let's focus our anger, not on those who tried to help, but on those who cheered on the people who are starving a helpless disabled woman to death.

They will when she dies. So will Hillary. They'll get the pulse of America and criticize Bush, one way or the other.

But then, thanks to incremental propaganda, the feeling in the media now is that MS is a hero and has been unfairly villified.

NBC Nightly News had a segment last night on exactly this. They STATED that MS has been "villified" (their words) by folks like me. Went on and on about how he has stood by her, blah blah blah. At least they did have a short snippet on there by some priest about how MS has had another "wife" for years and 2 kids. But still, it was awful.

"How is America supposed to "feel"?

Wet at each end and flat in the middle. Like your mama.

good, let them get the pulse of America. They'll get it wrong just like they did in the last election.

They underestimate us.

I have a question, I haven't read ALL threads and info on this matter, so:

I can't imagine Felos is not operating Woodside Hospice without some sort of stock income. But I can't find any symbol for it. Do any of you know what it is, or how it's doing?

I talked to a close relative via cell phone today - she was lamenting the fact that she was having a hard time finding a suitable outfit for Easter Sunday. No larger concern in her life than that. I have a hard time understand this kind of thing with her regularly, that her life rarely expands beyond the view from her kitchen window, but it seems a bit more poignant tonight.

Yes. AP is Associated Press. This stuff extends beyond the news people to the usual suspects in the syndicated commentariat as well. Sorry for any trouble my abbreviations casued.

You might as well add me to your Hall of Fame. I said essentially the same thing on another thread.

Then you can ping your list and go for my jugular, too. I assume your Hall of Fame is similar to where I will land on my bishop's "Nuisance List" for asking if he had said anything publicly about Terri.

BTW, has yours? I read today there is some kind of trouble in Dallas. Didn't have the stomach to read through it but it had to do with the same old same old.
