Why can't the stalling be a reason for an emergency appeal?
You mean to Atlanta? It sounds right, Theodore, but those who know more than I say only a ruling can bring on an appeal. BTW, Delay and the others said all the legal minds on the Congressional staffs told them a Federal judge would never starve Terri while he dithers. Said they consulted with all their lawyerly staffers and with the Justice Dept. also. Then lo and behold, the very first judge with the responsibility to preserve Terri while her case is tried de novo, does exactly what everyone swore a Federal judge would not. I just can't get over how certain they all were that this wouldn't happen. I wonder if heads will roll because of this. It gets to me right where I live. I am incredulous because I believe they really believed what they said. And incredulous that a Federal judge doesn't mind in the least doing such a publicly horrible act. Further, he is not following the law in its intent from Congress. You can doubledog bet he is not. Question is, will anyone do anything about it?
