One reason is the pleadings by the incompetent attorneys went after Judge Greer and how he handled everything instead of bringing new evidence and affidavits to the Court from all I heard. One local attorney and a whole group here on FR then said the District Judge wrote the lawyers a roadmap to use to appeal but her lawyers didn't follow it and ended up going after Greer again. Even when they had a chance to appeal to the full 11th Circuit, they took over 10 hours and didn't follow the roadmap of the district judge or the dissenting judge of the 11th. Does that tell you something?
These lawyers have plenty of time to be on TV but even Steve Centani (sp) from Fox last night said there are errors in the appeal to the SCOTUS.
Then they have Randall Terry lobbying State Senators -- that guy would be enough to turn me off if I was on the fence and I have to wonder about the one vote they were sure they had. Doesn't excuse the Senators for not voting for Life but this man is ONLY about face time and in your face IMHO!
Well .. if Terri's life is to have real meaning .. it has brought to the public's attention - the courts are out of control - where were the lawyers with expertise volunteering their time to assist this family to save their daughter.
The lawyers were helping the husbank kill his wife.
So .. my conclusion is this - this has been a HUGE looser for the democrats - the courts and the lawyers.
The only problem I see - is there enough collective will in this country TO DEMAND OUR LEGISLATORS CHANGE THESE LAWS TO PROTECT AGAINST A HUSBAND BEING ABLE TO KILL AN INNOCENT - NON-DISEASED WIFE ..??
And then .. are there enough legislators to take up the challenge - regardless of the constant hammering by the left ..??
My real fear - GOD's judgement against America for her choice of death.
