I must say that I just don't want to hear anything from a judge at the moment. Not a dang thing.

After reading the damning information on The Empire Journal there should be a grand jury convened to investigate this case.They have documented an enormous amount of evidence against the people involved in the Schiavo case.People should put aside their disagreement about whether she should live or die when there is evidence of corruption and fraud in the system.If the people deciding the fate of people like Terri are corrupt and on the take it puts our entire judicial system in danger along with the lives of the vulnerable.

[Natural Law]

We don't need to be lectured by a judge who has forgotten that he derives his judicial powers from the consent of the governed.

Anyone have a link to the decision and descent?

Precisely

"What Whittemore is asking for is something like, "Theresa Marie Schiavo is being denied food and water by her husband, who claims that she is in a persistent vegetative state. There is substantial doubt about this diagnosis, as attested to in the enclosed 33 affidavits from medical professionals."

I've been going back over what would have worked. In what you suggested, did Michael ever actually claim she was PVS. The doctors did. He's not violating her Right-to-Life because she PVS. Would something like this have worked:

"Theresa Marie Schiavo is being denied her Right-to-Life buy a private citizen, Michael Shiavo, by denying her food and water. Earlier today (plaintiff Bobby Schindler) physically prevented me from providing her water."

Straight up new case. Michael Shiavo is not a State actor. I think this squares better with the Terri's Law, which said something about "irrespective of previous state rulings." So it could not have simply been blown off by him claiming he was just following orders.

I would have also tried something about denying her right to pursuit of happyness.

This guy is no RINO! I was looking over his history and he is as conservative as they come.

Ok, whatever it takes! ;)

SPINELESS PARK, Fla. (AP) - Jeb Bush has assumed a fetal position and is resting comfortably. Family members report that he has never been more beautiful. - Very good - I think you could also replace the words "Jeb Bush" with "The Republican Party" and it would work also!

Just kill the poor woman! It's all perfectly legal and very conservative, too! That would seem to be the case!
