I don't think the appeals court will side with Terri now, or it would have ordered hydration the minute it got the case. Those judges know of her precarious state. Does anyone know the members of the three-judge panel hearing the case? If we know who appointed them, we may be able to tell how they will vote, but then, again, maybe not too. I am surprised that the appeal is lasting five times as long as the original hearing Monday.

According to Judge Napolitano (sp) on Fox News just now, the 11th Circuit does not have the power to order the feeding tube to be re-inserted. They can only order the decisions they are reviewing BACK to the court that made the original findings.
