Today, the Second District Court of Appeals affirmed Judge W. Douglas Baird's decision for venue in Pinellas County in the matter of Schiavo v. Bush. That means that this case will remain in Pinellas County and in Baird's court. You will recall that Judge Baird had stated the Terri's Law, the law that enabled Governor Bush to intervene and restore Terri's sustenance, is 'presumptively unconstitutional'.
Additionally, Michael Schiavo, through his attorney, George Felos, has asked that Judge Baird issue a summary judgment on the constitutionality of Terri's Law, without allowing Governor Bush discovery or the ability to take depositions.
Today's action by the Second District Court of Appeals paves the way for Judge Baird to summarily pass judgment that Terri's Law is unconstitutional.

phenn & I pinged people on the other thread -- but this is something everyone needs to know. Praying this is not the dominoes being set up against Terri.
