They could have filed a two page complaint that incorporated by reference and attachment prior factual allegations and then simply pled a right to life cause of action under the Constitution. I don't think any federal district court judge would have the cajones to let her death by feeding tube removal continue even if they only filed that sort of rudimentary filing.

They just didn't get it that the extraordinary efforts of Congress made everything Greer did wholly irrelevant.

Another sad event in this epic tragedy.

That's one view, another is that the courts simply were not interested in the facts but only the process and by God, process was going to win the day.

It would have been better than what they did. They made the one plea that was guaranteed to lose. And they kept making it over and over, losing every time.
