Judge George Greer ruled that the State of Florida has no right to take custody of Terri Schiavo, which ruling came hours after an appeal by Terri's parents to re-insert the feeding tube was refused by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, another hearing was scheduled tonight before US District Judge James D. Whittemore .. the same judge who previously heard and denied the request subsequent to the 'de novo' intention of the law past last weekend by the Congress and signed by President Bush, in an effort to confirm that no stone was left unturned before Terri would endure legally sanctioned dehydration until death.
But it cannot be denied. It just cannot be denied.
"She is calm," said Felos. "She is peaceful. She is resting comfortably. Her lips are not chapped. They're not bleeding. Her skin's not peeling."
"She looked beautiful," said Felos. "In all the years I've seen Mrs. Schiavo, I've never seen such a look of peace and beauty upon her."
So as we're approaching Easter, I think Terri would want all of us to reflect on the impermanence of life and ask ourselves the questions, 'What's the purpose of my life and how can I best fulfill that and how can I be of service to others?' One of the things that may come out of this is a period of inward reflection after all this outer attention."
Felos said that Terri Schiavo's remains will be cremated.

Amen, dear Kitty, Amen ...
Our country is headed for destruction if people don't wake up. What they did to Terri they can (and will) do to us.
Nobody wants to go against Greer's court order. He's gone all the way up the earthly chain of command, with everyone bowing to his will. He can't trump God, but he's so full of himself he thinks he can. He thinks he has the power to condemn Terri to hell by denying her Holy Communion, and declaring that she's responsible for her own murder. Boy, is he gonna be surprised!
I know that Ron Wyden (d) of Oregon was forcefully against the law that the Senate wanted to pass because he was afraid of the ramifications it might have in Oregon---I think they just passed a "right-to-die" bill, and I think that Terri's law would set precedent....
Winning elections does something to the Republican spinal column.
Yes, Friedan, a socialist, is still on the lecture circuit. But she would never debate Phyllis Schlafly, who had the facts on her side, as did you. It may be that her appearances have been drastically cut in frequency.
This is America's defining moment. Greer, Felos and Michael are evil, but the Bushes could have saved Terri, and the three CO-EQUAL branches of government.
Pointing to two legal memos prepared by the Thomas More Law Center which were delivered to Governor Bush in October of 2003, Thompson again urged Bush to launch a formal criminal investigation into the facts surrounding the disability of Schiavo.
Why hasn't this option been explored? I heard this attorney on the radio and he couldn't explain why this option had not been used even with his urging.
I am amazed!!! Thank-you, Ralph Nader.
Been several years now. Just call us the Kill Me State....
Dear Heavenly Father...
Please help us to abide by Your Will at all times, not just when it pleases us.. open our eyes to see You and our ears to hear You, the better to serve You and glorify You in all we do and say... Shut our eyes and ears to the lies of the enemy.. and give us the strength to withstand the coming storm..
Dear sweet Jesus tell me this was not a quote? Please?
And I believe more firmly than ever that the destruction will come from within rather than from terrorists from without. With the abandonment of Terri, so-called "gay marriage" is now a certainty! If the GOP would not fight for Terri, it won't stop "gay marriage."
Thank-you. I need that line.
I think it's a riot if the story about his church kicking him out is true. Maybe he'd like to put some ice on it??
(I know, I know, I'm having evil thoughts right now...)
This is the beginning of FORCED euthanasia, sad to say.
I have always been the most patriotic person you would ever meet, and now I am ASHAMED of my country. I have never said that before, and never even THOUGHT it, and it deeply saddens me to have to say it.
Blessed Easter all those who reside where it is already..
THE TOMB IS EMPTY!!! I know it is hard to celebrate right now considering what Terri is going through.. but if we can't celebrate this day ..the core of our faith.. we haven't a leg to stand on... and whether Terri should pass this day, or by some miracle, years and years from now.. she will sometime have that sweet knowlege of being with Our Saviour..
I love Schlafly - should visit her site more often.
It's obscene that he would think that Terri would want to be of service to others by killing herself. I would think he's really saying that he's being of service to others by killing her.
