Well, I agree for the most part, but in any "de novo" case which is filed for the first time, the judge has to decide likelihood of success if he is asked for an emergency injunction. The TRO is an extraordinary form of relief. I agree that the prudent thing under these extraordinary circumstances is to reinsert the tube. However, judges do not view matters as we do. IF the judge does not think the parents have a case, then he will feel he is doing greater harm by issuing an order to reinsert the tube.

True, it's a no-win situation - but like the President said, if we are going to make an error, le'ts err on the side of life. If they hem and haw while she slowly wastes away, and then say 'oops' it's a little late to change anything.

Uh, depends: If BC is currently involved with anybody it may take, oh.... about a week. Just long enough....
If HC has her way, maybe she may be unable to be reached for about two weeks. Just long enough, with a few extra days to make sure....
Poop.

Dear Torie,
Forgive me if I seem a bit cynical, but I think that the Republicans passed the law, and the president signed it, pretty much suspecting that in the end, it would be ignored by the judiciary. The law, as best as I can figure, is an affront to these black-robed demons, and thus doesn't stand much of a chance of having effect.
But the Republicans and the president can claim to have done all they can once Terri has been successfully murdered. This is a sop thrown to us social conservatives.

Jeb Bush needs to act now to save Terri. This is ridiculous. The Congress of the United States of America has been crapped on by this federal judge. It's pretty apparent.

So if this judge comes out at 9PM tonight and says he's reviewed everything and he agrees with the Florida courts you will be satisfied? Or will we start ripping Congress because they wrote a law that allowed this to be a possible outcome?

If this was a cop killer on death row there would be ACLU lawyers and Hollywood scumbags coming out of the woodwork to help keep him/her alive. I am praying for a miracle this coming Easter Sunday.

A prerequisite for the issuance of an injunction under Federal law is that the movant have a "substantial likelihood of success on the merits" as the case goes forward. That is what the judge is talking about.
I'm sure you want the judge to just follow the law, right? Not be a judicial activist and make a ruling based upon how he feels?

He's just hoping she dies before he has to make a ruling. Simple as that.
To: AntiGuv; Torie
I am totally against this bill, but this judge's refusal to rule is inexcusable. It seems that he may be waiting until the issue is "moot" and there is nothing for the appellate court to review.

He will sit down for a gourmet meal tonight, with the finest wine and food, while Terri starves to death. I could never let a helpless, starving person go without water and food for even five minutes, even if I didn't especially like the person. And I'm no saint, just an ordinary person with some sense of right and wrong. The people on the "husband's" side of the issue must really be demonic.

I feel badly for Terri, people who may say they would not like to live in that condition is a normal reaction. When that person has a brain injury,she becomes a whole different person inside and out. Her husband should be deprived of food and water also.
To: nyg4168
FYI, murder is defined as the taking of one human life by another, without justification or excuse.
The article states "Armed with a new law passed by Congress (her) lawyer pleaded with the judge . . "
I know President Bush has made his feelings clear on this issue.
?
I'm going to see if I can get some news. Too much heat, too little light here now.

Yeah, sleep on it... And have a nice dinner and maybe a drink first. No rush since the judge is already shown bias against her parents'.
Don't worry folks, we're in good hands here. This guy really understands the urgency of someone who is being treated worse than Abu Ghrab (SP?) detainees getting her day in court. Where are all the people who protest humane lethal injections for murders who had several courts and several judges look at their cases? Why does a disabled person NOT have any rights?

To: sitetest
Maybe, but I don't think Congress anticipated that the judge would deny an injunction and moot the case from the getgo, which he must hear. I think that is a good appeal to the 11th circuit. If the judge doesn't rule tomorrow, watch for Terri's lawyer to appeal to the 11th circuit regarding it engaging in delay that bears grave risk of mooting the case.
