I'm praying 1) that the Judge will be receptive and will order replacement of Terri's food/nourishment/medicine; 2) that he will, at the very least, remove the guardians' powers (Greer and Schaivo) as they have already shown they want her dead and have put her in imminent danger for her life; 3) appoint a new guardian in the meantime; 4) review all the documents/discrepancies in testimony/deed/laws broken; 5) agree to accept this case de novo.
I listened to the Presser by Santorum, Martinez and Harkin(of all people) yesterday. I thought the case must be heard de novo, because that's what all three of them said. Like it was written in the bill. About restarting food and water...they all also said that the Justice would have to do that because it is standard procedure in such a situation. If life and death is hanging on your handling of a case, you order that no harm be done to the party while you hear the case. Otherwise, the party would die before their case could be heard, and no Federal Judge would do that. That is what they said, anyway. It seems this bill is tighter on the language in some respects than the original Senate bill, or that is the impression I got. All three were so certain that the Federal Judge would act quickly and appropriately.
