The courts will NOT be the answer to this.
Poor people...it will be another dissapointment.
I thinbk when Kennedy said he was using foreign law to make judgements, no one thought he was using Nazi Germany law.
The MSM is answering these last minute appeals by interviewing so called medical experts who are saying it would by 'dangerous' to hydrate Terri now that her body is shutting down. There is a definite persistence on their part in killing Terri.
Following Nazi law, the state and federal courts have designated Terri as a Useless Eater:

She STILL lives... is today day 13? or day 14?
That's a hell of a lot of stamina for someone who allegedly doesn't want to live.
Although I wish them all the luck in the world we're dealing with judges who don't appear to be even the slightest bit interested in righting an obvious injustice.
Ummm....the so-called 'medical experts' are correct.
Not saying it should be the determining factor, but what they say is true.
How can it be "dangerous" if they're killing her anyway? Oh, I get it, the danger is that she might live...
Aside from that, however, I think another appeal to another court is basically a waste of time. The judges have made up their minds to stick together and protect one of their own, no matter how off the wall and poorly grounded his initial decision was, and that's that.
I think it's a lot of stamina for someone who's "dead" already! /heavy sarcasm
Nice one, wish I'd thought of it!
Like it's not gonna be dangerous to keep the tube out, right?
"a hell of a lot of stamina for someone who allegedly doesn't want to live"
I agree, she's telling us volumes about love of life, and very eloquently IMO.
Watching her do this is much too painful for us, so why don't we "just let her die already." /s
Do realize how insane that is? We can not attempt to save her life because it might kill her? What the hell happens if we do nothing? How can this be more dangerous?
Seems I remember numerous cases of persons found in the desert or on the sea having been without hydration and food who have been successfully treated. All thanking God that they were found in time.
The MSM crap is akin to buzzards circling Terri's body.
I don't know how this will be presented as a federal issue, but it seems plausible to use the 14th Amendment, that she has been denied life without due process.
They won't take it. And if they did, wouldn't rule on it until July!
...or maybe they're concerned that it would kill her...naahhh...couldn't be that.
