if this paperwork filed by Connor is 'accepted' (or whatever the proper terminology is) would it mean that the challenge to the constitutionality of Terri's law is dead in the water

No. Bush wants their lawsuit dismissed because 1) Bush was improperly served (this is critical); 2) Because Bush was improperty served, this Court has no jurisdiction over him, hence, no orders issued by this judge are binding on Bush (and will not be unless/until it is shown that the judge HAS jurisdiction over Bush); 3) the manner in which MS's attorney went about asking for things to be done (the injunction) were improper, according to the Rules, and, therefore, should be dismissed on its face. These are the things Bush's attorney is saying. Bush's attorney is also saying, Bush must be properly served; it must be served in the proper court (I believe a different court, like right near where Bush works), because Bush cannot be expected to fly around all over Florida as a defendant in every case individuals/companies/entities may file against him, as Governor. Bush's attorney is also saying, once the Rules are complied with, Bush will "Answer" with a "responsive" pleading. Then we'll see what happens (but, it won't be in front of this judge).
