Short question, long answer:

First it depends on whether you mean the FL State Supreme Court, or the US Supreme Court. Second it depends on whether you mean the basic court case, or the issue regarding the FL Gov/Legislature overriding the judicial decision.

In short, I believe either of the supreme court levels will/would find the action by the FL Gov/Legislature to have been unconstitutional - a violation of her rights. (lots of issues here - I may be able to explain this in greater detail at another site).

As to the basic case, the lower court decisions have been affirmed by all appeals courts hearing the matter to date (overall 18-19 judges have heard the matter - the latest being a de nova review by 4 or 5 judges - an unusual move in itself). I really doubt that either of the supreme courts would even accept the case on appeal.

Okay. I agree with you. The US Supreme Court would never take this case. The Gov/legislature can't trump the judiciary, as appealing as that may be. Perhaps the legislature could make it more difficult in the future for people like Mr. Schiavo, but they can't do it in this case.

As far as her rights are concerned, it's he said/she said and he wins.

It's been through the court system up and down. That's it.
