http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/03/26/schiavo/index.htmlThe state's highest court dismissed the emergency petition Saturday night, saying it didn't have jurisdiction. On Thursday, the same court refused to hear the case.
The lawyer for Schiavo's parents said the legal fight to prolong the brain-damaged woman's life is drawing to an end.
This is the third legal blow Schiavo's parents have received within the course of 24 hours. Their motions were also denied earlier in the day by Circuit Court Judge George Greer in Clearwater, Florida, and Friday by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta, Georgia.
Give it up, Bob and Mary Schindler.

This really is another example of brilliant "Republican" spin doctoring. Think about it, there's no easy way for any politician to take Michael Schiavo's side here without looking like a total ghoul.
I hate religious right-wing politicians, but I have a lot of respect for their unrivalled mastery of all things media.

Good ol bushie bro senior trying to send out a squad to bypass a court's order. As if it weren't all ridiculous enough already.Police 'showdown' averted

Hours after a judge ordered that Terri Schiavo was not to be removed from her hospice, a team of state agents were en route to seize her and have her feeding tube reinserted -- but they stopped short when local police told them they would enforce the judge's order, The Herald has learned.
Agents of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement told police in Pinellas Park, the small town where Schiavo lies at Hospice Woodside, on Thursday that they were on the way to take her to a hospital to resume her feeding.
For a brief period, local police, who have officers at the hospice to keep protesters out, prepared for what sources called ``a showdown.''
In the end, the squad from the FDLE and the Department of Children & Families backed down, apparently concerned about confronting local police outside the hospice.
''We told them that unless they had the judge with them when they came, they were not going to get in,'' said a source with the local police.
''The FDLE called to say they were en route to the scene,'' said an official with the city police who requested anonymity. ``When the sheriff's department and our department told them they could not enforce their order, they backed off.''
The incident,known only to a few and related to The Herald by three different sources involved in Thursday's events, underscores the intense emotion and murky legal terrain that the Schiavo case has created. It also shows that agencies answering directly to Gov. Jeb Bush had planned to use a wrinkle in Florida law that would have allowed them to legally get around the judge's order. The exception in the law allows public agencies to freeze a judge's order whenever an agency appeals it.

The settlement money remaining, the interest from 13 years and the fact that Terry has been cared for for free where she is at and Medicare has been paying for the rest.
Do you honestly believe that sharks account of the money and that there is hardly any left??

Hmmm, I can't speak for amounts, I've heard varying numbers. But, I've also heard that he's publically stated that he's going to give any and all remaining settlement money to charity. And he just turned down $1 million from some dude to sign over legal guardianship of his wife.Canidae wrote:The settlement money remaining, the interest from 13 years and the fact that Terry has been cared for for free where she is at and Medicare has been paying for the rest.

Kinda shoots your theory right in the ass, doesn't it?
No it doesn't. The guy is an egotistical bastard and would never accept any money on their terms and his payoff from the settlement money is from her will when she DIES.
He'll probably go the route of a book and movies rights also that wouldn't sell well if he caved now on his version of how this has to be.
The positive cash flow begins any day now.

That's irrelevant -- she's been a vegetable for 15 fucking years. Do you know anybody who would still want to be kept "alive" at this stage? I don't.
And also, the simple fact of the matter is that he is her legal guardian, and legally makes that choice -- not her parents.
When you talk about motives and money all it does is cloud the issue.
If anybody can prove that he put her in a coma himself by trying to kill her, I would say he obviously doesn't have a right to the money. But even if that were the case, she should still be allowed to die after 15 years of absolutely no change in condition. It's ridiculous. You're advocating dragging out her miserable existence basically out of your own spite and that of others. Does she even figure into the picture anymore for you?

ha, you haven't been paying attention. most of the federal judges that have passed on this issue have been Bush and Reagan appointees. One judge that wanted to re-try the case was a Clinton appointee!R00k wrote:She's going to die, one way or another, and to conservatives across the country, her death will be the fault of liberals thanks to the republicons' shrewd "framing" of the issue.
Sweet!
Also, the bible thumpers have started to go after Jeb Bush for not doing enough to save mrs potato head. Play with fire and see who gets' burnt.
Even polls of Evangelical Christians, the bible thumpers Bush and the Republicans were trying to impress, show that most of them think its wrong for the government to impose it's will on this personel issue. You don't see Bush saying much about this issue any more do you?

How the hell do you profess to know anything about this guy? I wouldn't say you're dead wrong about the book/movie thing, but how the hell you spew that shit about him 'accepting any money on their terms'?Canidae wrote:No it doesn't.

Like I said, he stated that he's going to donate all that settlement money.
