Will Governor Bush's brief make any difference with this judge, you think? The judge asked Crist for a brief; did he ask Bush too? I am afraid the judge won't pay any attention to the governor's brief. Remember, George W. Greer said he was filing Bush's earlier letter in the trash can.

I think Jeb is saying they have legal grounds to allow Terri to try to eat and to receive therapy for learning to swallow.

I know it is painful to hope and seems wise to prepare for the worst, but it does look hopeful on legal grounds that perhaps Jeb has done something courageous and Godly here, to me.

I don't know for sure, but it is my belief that God is working invisibly right now for Terri, and although Lazzara was appointed by Clinton, he may still be a good and fair judge. He seems to have been raised as a good Catholic. Perhaps if he wants an opinion of someone he admires, he may ask his missionary doctor brother, what he might do in a similar situation. If that's the case, I think Terri will be in good hands. His brother is sort of like a Mother Teresa to some Peruvians.
