But they did not appeal it to the United States Supreme Court where they always have said the wanted "clear and convincing" evidence.This is a confusing line. The Schindlers did two or three times try to appeal to the USSC, but the powerful "brethern" refused to take their case. We don't even know if Scalia and Thomas had sympathy for the life of Terri.

The United Supreme Court only looks at a VERY narrow argument. They never look at a whole case. It is up to the attorneys to find the best argument for their client. They did not do so for Terri. 'Clear and convincing' evidence was not brought to their attention.
