Appeals Court to Consider a Petition in the Schiavo Case
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PINELLAS PARK, Fla. (AP) -- A federal appeals court agreed to consider an emergency bid by Terri Schiavo's parents for a new hearing on whether to reconnect her feeding tube, raising their fading hopes of keeping the severely brain-damaged woman alive.

In its order late Tuesday, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals didn't say when it would decide whether to grant the hearing. It was not clear what effect reconnecting Terri Schiavo's feeding tube would have on her, as she approached her 13th day without nourishment. As of early Wednesday afternoon, no further word had come from the appeals court.

The order issued Tuesday allowed Bob and Mary Schindler to file the appeal, even though the court had set a March 26 deadline for doing so.

Its one-sentence order said: ``The Appellant's emergency motion for leave to file out of time is granted.'' Three times last week, the court ruled against the Schindlers.

In requesting a new hearing, the Schindlers argued that a federal judge in Tampa should have considered the entire state court record and not whether previous Florida court rulings met legal standards under state law. The Schindlers' motion also said the federal appellate court in Atlanta didn't consider whether there was enough ``clear and convincing'' evidence that Terri Schiavo would have chosen to die in her current condition.

By definition, isn't there always a chance for a miracle, even after she dies?

mrnoodle · 03-30-2005, 03:02 PM

yep.

I'm also over this issue (rather my id and ego have called a ceasefire), but I'm noticing something. She hasn't left the bed in umpteen years, and now she hasn't had anything in the way of nourishment for 13 days, but she's still kicking, figuratively. They just can't kill her, seems like. That's one tough kid.

well, she *does* only have part of a brain left. It's apparently the moxie part, not the logic part.

The Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to consider an emergency bid by Bob and Mary Schindler for a new hearing in their case, raising a flicker of hope for the parents after a series of setbacks in the case. But the court rejected the bid 15 hours later the fourth time since last week the court ruled against the Schindlers.

Psyche!!!

The article further states:

"Any further action by our court or the district court would be improper," wrote Judge Stanley F. Birch Jr., who was appointed by former President Bush. "While the members of her family and the members of Congress have acted in a way that is both fervent and sincere, the time has come for dispassionate discharge of duty."

Birch went on to scold President Bush and Congress for their attempts to intervene in the judicial process, by saying: "In resolving the Schiavo controversy, it is my judgment that, despite sincere and altruistic motivation, the legislative and executive branches of our government have acted in a manner demonstrably at odds with our Founding Fathers' blueprint for the governance of a free people our Constitution."

Another "activist judge" appointed by some nutjob *gasp*, wait, Bush, the Elder. Scandalous.
