PINELLAS PARK, United States (AFP) - As a brain-damaged woman passed her 12th day without food or drink in a hospice here, Terri Schiavo's parents are planning to again petition the US Supreme Court to intervene, their lawyer said.

As a brain-damaged woman passed her 12th day without food or drink in a hospice here, Terri Schiavo's parents are planning to again petition the US Supreme Court to intervene, their lawyer said. Bob and Mary Schindler have been rebuffed by a series of courts in recent weeks and days, their latest setback came Wednesday after the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals rejected their appeal to reopen the case into whether their daughter's feeding tube should be reinserted.

But the woman's parents appear set to continue waging their legal battle.

"I can confirm for you that we are now preparing to file an appeal with the United States Supreme Court," the Schindler's lawyer, Steve Kluth, said in a statement issued by his office.

However, the Schindlers have already been rebuffed once by the US' highest court in Washington on March 24.

Terri Schaivo's feeding tube was removed March 18, triggering an intense legal battle and a right-to-life political storm that sparked the involvement of the US Congress and US President George W. Bush.

Bush signed legislation backing a federal court review of Terri's case -- she has been in a persistent vegitative state for 15 years -- but the federal courts have so far declined to intervene on her behalf.

" 9. Between September 1939 and April 1945 the defendants Karl Brandt, Blome, Brack, and Hoven unlawfully, willfully, and knowingly committed war crimes, as defined by Article II of Control Council Law No. 10, in that they were principals in, accessories to, ordered, abetted, took a consenting part in, and were connected with plans and enterprises involving the execution of the so-called "euthanasia" program of the German Reich in the course of which the defendants herein murdered hundreds of thousands of human beings, including nationals of German-occupied countries. This program involved the systematic and secret execution of the aged, insane, incurably ill, of deformed children, and other persons, by gas, lethal injections, and diverse other means in nursing homes, hospitals, and asylums. Such persons were regarded as "useless eaters" and a burden to the German war machine. The relatives of these victims were informed that they died from natural causes, such as heart failure. German doctors involved in the "euthanasia" program were also sent to Eastern occupied countries to assist in the mass extermination of Jews."

Anyone have an ebay account? I'm thinking someone should put up a bunch of rocks. Call them the judges hearts. Even bigger rocks for judge greer, felos and michael schiavo. They make me sick.

"No, she will come to for the Yankees/Red Sox opener--and least according to her mother."


When did she say this?

[antceecee]

Geez if they thought hydrating her would do the job I think they would be delivering the Evian to Woodside by the truckload...

Judgenfuhrer Greer: "You fools. Our Courts just led you on.
It is March 30th and we have proven that the US Congress
is NOTHING but a clot of inept and weak pussies
writing subpoenas not worth a bucket of warm spit."

I understand their desperation but repeatedly asking the same people time and time again with the same information will not change a thing.

I think God has given them their answer. He is still in charge. It is HIS will that will prevail.

The SCHINDLERS NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!!! God Bless and Comfort them in this their hour of need. They are an iNSPIRATION!

Tragedy turning into farce.


Painful to watch. May He bless them.

The last time they refused to hear it, Judge Bork was on Hannity and said that the Supremes might hear the case if it was about a law that applied to a general category of people, but they would not bother to rule on anything that applied only to one person.

He said those writing the law in Congress should have known that.

Come to think of it, maybe they did know it.

[antceecee]

You have to admire the Schindler Family. They don't give up and cave like so many have done in this situation.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

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.

The violation of her due process rights is exactly what judges who actually care about the law and the Constitution should base their reasoning on to overturn the Grim Reaper.

[nmh]

This is becoming a legal circus.

They won't hear it.

Mark my words.

[Future Useless Eater]

Thanks, I hope the SC shows a little humanity and recognizes that the District court ERRORED by not doing a de novo.

here is the critical section of the law passed by congress that Whittemore ignored:

In such a suit, the District Court shall determine de novo any claim of a violation of any right of Theresa Marie Schiavo within the scope of this Act, notwithstanding any prior State court determination and regardless of whether such a claim has previously been raised, considered, or decided in State court proceedings.

The Schindlers constant appeals remind me of the story in the bible about the judge who was constantly petitioned and finally relented and granted the petitioner's request.
