Whittemore thinks Hillary will put him on the Supreme Court, no doubt.

I don't buy it. Given the pleading that the Schindlers' lawyer made, Whittemore virtually had to rule the way he did. For the same reason, the 11th Circuit is likely to uphold Whittemore.

Neither of those rulings are because the judges want to "kill Terri." They are because the Schindlers' lawyer totally blew the opportunity he'd been given by the Congress to get a new trial.

This is horrible to watch. Unless somebody gets in there and straightens that lawyer out, Terri is going to die because the lawyer screwed up horribly.

How did the Schindlers' lawyer screw up?

Thanks for saying it that way. After reading the ruling from Whitmore, it seemed apparent that the Schindler's attorney made a poor argument.

Unfortunately, you cannot go into to court and make an argument based on "common sense," or "the right thing".

How did he blow it?

If you know, have you tried to contact the lawyers to tell them where they went wrong?

I am starting to agree with you. Get a new guy, a real heavyweight,this lawyer seems amateurish. You can't lose that much ans still stay on.
