[Deo volente]

I do not, for the life of me, understand why it has taken so long for this argument to be brought to the appeals court.

There were posts on these threads all last week about this,
Hugh Hewitt has been talking about Whittemore's error for days now, and other legal commentators have also pointed it out.

Senator Santorum was talking about this last week, also.
There was an article about it on NewsMax.

WHY did it take so long for the attorneys to put this together?

It was painfully obvious that Whittemore was advocating for Greer, in assuming that the Schindlers did not have a chance to prevail in a "de novo"
review. He was prejudging evidence that had yet to be submitted in the new, upcoming federal trial! He assumed that Greer's findings of the facts would prevail again in the new trial.

He's NOT ALLOWED to do this!

They need to hydrate immediately, so they will first rule on the injunction and she should get the hydration back as long as their arguement is plausible and shows new evidence, which I am thinking is the affadavits from the doctors and possibly even the fact that she spoke the 18th. But her 14th ammendment rights have still been violated so they may have added that. I am waiting anxiously to see the filings! I would think we may hear something tonight...and then they can schedule the de novo trial which would allow the Schindler's to bring in new evidence and get rid of MS as guardian of Terri.

Jay Sekulow finally prevailed. Thank God! This seems like the only answer.

But he almost was allowed to do this. He would have gotten away with it if there hadn't been so much publicity. One can only imagine how many times he has gotten away with this very same before when the camera hasn't been in his face. No matter the outcome of this particular case, in the broad view the public may soon see that the justice system has over stepped their bounds and needs to be held accountable for their unlawful actions.
