From the article linked in post #50:

  The complaint addresses the issue that if indeed she did make any statement to Michael Schiavo prior to her “accident” in 1990”, it must be made clear that prior to 2000, a feeding tube was not legally considered “artificial means” due to process and language.  “Therefore, she did not have informed consent that she could not/did not have an understanding that the determination of artificial means would include a feeding tube after the year of 2000”, the complaint says.

  “Her inability to be appropriately informed and her lack of decision making capacity combined with her inability to divorce her husband due to her incapacitation has placed her in a situation where she is being discriminated against by the courts due to her condition”, the federal complaint charges.

Sekulow is a Messianic Jew guy, too. A Jewish Protestant.

This was the petition Sekulow urged on Terri's lawyers

Who is he ?


Jay Sekulow is a Jewish Christian that for years has fought the legal issues concerning right to life, freedom of religion, against Christian harrassment ...etc. He used to provide daily legal briefs for the 700 club. Now he heads up the ACLJ (American Center for Law and Justice) www.aclj.org that is a legal arm for Christian rights. He has a daily call in radio show carried by many Christian radio stations. He has addressed (and won) several cases before the USSC. Even before today he should be considered a hero by many Christians for his faith-filled efforts. Hope that helps.

Yup. The Schindler lawyers were certainly outlawyered in the first trial, the Schindlers had a very hard time even finding a lawyer to initially take the case, while Michael Schiavo had the settlement money to go lawyer hunting. The Schindlers' lawyers are much better now, but they are still behind the eight ball, since the 'facts' of the case are now established legally. I just hope this reviewing of the facts works.

Sekulow is smarter than Gibbs.

Sekulow is so much smarter.

And *tinfoil hat moment* who is Gibbs really working for?

Jesse Jackson made it clear that blacks would want somethings before they would vote Republican. He is talking about Long Term Care, whatever that means.

"Sicko's that they are,they must be held to account for their biased for MS reporting and the terrible lies they used to call Terri a vegetable."

Amen to that.

She sure didn't look like a vegetable in this photo.

picture of Terri a couple of years after the accident. This picture was taken a couple years after the "accident" - before all therapy was forbidden.

you act like any of us here have had anything to do with this whole terrible ordeal....

we're just riders on this train, not the conductor....

no one wants Terri to suffer anymore....

remember, there were some Tsunami victims found 2 weeks or longer .....you know what..I think they wanted to live no matter how painful rehydration was....

if Terri suffers more, its not us that are doing it......its the courts hijacked by one MS that has put her thru this wringer....

remember...the parents wanted custody of Terri long ago....

You get extra points for that. ;-)

The sovereign of all Creation is mightier than all in Creation. On occasion, G-d enjoys demonstrating what fools humans can be.

I suspect the 11th Circuit will order reinsertion of the feeding tube in order to maintain the status quo while they review the case and/or direct the US District Court to conduct6 a de novo review as required by the law. once the tube is reinserted, I doubt that it would ever be removed again. I think that is the real fear that Michael has.

Wouldn't take a whole for any attorney to be smarter than Gibbs IMHO! Worst pleading I have ever read and I used to work for scumbag trial lawyers but they won their cases unfortunately.
