I thought the federal judge said the case has to work through the state courts first.

Can this be taken to the Supreme Court eventually? Surely it can. This has implications for all of us.

all aboard for hell in a handbasket: SENATE PRESIDENT JIM KING, JUDGE W. DOUGLAS BAIRD, JUDGE DAVID DEMERS, JUDGE GEORGE GREER... and many more SHERIFF EVERETT RICE, STATE ATTORNEY BERNIE MCCABE, DCF, HOSPICE gone bad, I.E. Hospice of the Suncoast, Pinellas Cty.

I'm going to be hitting the Beltway hard. I hope others join me. There are toll free numbers for Washington, D.C. Don't have them on me.

KATHERINE HARRIS "HELP!!!!!" Why is Carlie's Law a Federal law - she was murdered, but Terri's Law isn't a Federal Law?

WHY CAN'T TERRI'S LAW BE A FEDERAL LAW LIKE CARLIE'S LAW?????

The federal judge said that he had sympathy for the family but if he ruled on Terri, it would open a "pandora's box". You know, THE ORGANIZED SYNDICATE over here in Pinellas County posing as judges. That's your pandora's box.

BOYCOTT CLEARWATER, LARGO, ST. PETERSBURG, PINELLAS PARK AND DUNEDIN (atty felos). BOYCOTT PINELLAS COUNTY.

A federal law is an excellent idea.

Yes, we need to push for a Federal Law to err on the side of life when a person's wishes are unknown.

That's why I ask freepers from all over to contact their OWN U.S. SENATORS AND CONGRESSMAN.

JON KYL of Arizona is important because he just wrote and passed a bill about protecting victims of fraud and abuse. TERRI'S THE VICTIM OF THE AGES.

The lady on the right is a speech therapist. Speech therapists also teach patients how to learn to improve their swallowing. Terri can already swallow. She doesn't drool.

I believe the U.S. Supreme Court ruled at one point that the FL Supreme Court decision to dehydrate poor Terri would stand without comment. There is no justice in the USA.

STATEMENT OF SCHINDLER FAMILY TODAY'S DATE:

Family of disabled woman responds to latest ruling in Terri’s Law

Clearwater, FL: Today, the parents of Terri Schindler-Schiavo learned that circuit judge W. Douglas Baird has issued a summary ruling on the constitutionality of Terri’s Law, the law that allowed Governor Jeb Bush to order the return of assisted nutrition and hydration to the disabled Pinellas County woman in October of 2003.

Judge Baird has ruled the law unconstitutional, paving the way for the 40 year-old woman’s feeding tube to be removed for a third time, causing her death.

Statement of Robert Schindler, Sr:

”These Pinellas County judges have displayed an utterly cavalier attitude and a complete disregard for the rule of law. They are aiding and abetting Michael Schiavo in his continuing crimes against Terri and this current order is nothing more than an unjust killing of a young woman who has demonstrated time and again that she very much wants to live.”

IF YOU'RE A SENIOR CITIZEN OR A WOMAN, AVOID PINELLAS COUNTY LIKE THE PLAGUE. Someone in a black robe MAY TRY TO TAKE YOUR LIFE.
