I just never know anymore what a judge is going to do. Today, even, the Republicans were asked when this lands on a judge's desk, what he'd do (as far as taking it or it helping Terri or something like that)....and they said "they don't know." That is my understanding from today's presser.
Yesterday, DeLay said that unfortunately, this will end up back with Greer. I lost all hope...
I think they meant, no one knows if the Judge will decide for or against the Schindlers. Tom Delay was asked by a reporter yesterday, well, why would a Federal Judge rule differently from the State Judge. Delay answered that there was no way to know how they will rule. I think he started answering by saying, "We don't know". Sound familiar? But really, the bill is specific as to the case being de novo. And the leaders swore that the Judge will not negligently allow the subject to die while their case is underway. Exactly the same as an execution would not be allowed during a Habeas Corpus hearing in Federal court to determine if a convicted murderer should be put to death per a State court ruling.
