So Terri will be able to get out of Hospice after the subpoena?

I'm hoping she'll be able to get out of the state of Florida.

Great column by Andrew McCarthy, linked on Laura's website, from NRO:

Torturing Terri Schiavo
She’d be better off if she were a terrorist.

snippets:

A nuisance to a faithless husband grown tired of the toll on his new love interest and depleting bank account — an account that was inflated only because a jury, in 1992, awarded him over a million dollars, mostly as a trust to pay for Terri’s continued care, in a medical malpractice verdict.
..............
Her parents love her and want to care for her. Imagine if you had a child who was defenseless, dependent, and vulnerable — many of us, indeed, need not imagine — and the state told you not only to step aside but that you had to watch, helpless, while it took two weeks to kill her. That’s what’s happening in Florida. Starting Friday.
..............
What kind of society goes into a lather over the imposition of bright lights and stress positions for barbarians who might have information that will save lives, but yawns while a defenseless woman who hasn’t hurt anyone is willfully starved and dehydrated? By a court — the bulwark purportedly protecting our right to life?

I hope you're right. No video feed. A chance to get her wheelchair fixed, have the sun shine on her face, get to hear birds sing, feel a breeze on her face, have a teddy bear, and see anyone she wishes to gaze upon between FL and DC.
