Property has more rights than Terri

The American Spectator Where There’s No Will By Clinton W. Taylor

In Florida under the intestacy (dying without will) statute, everything goes to the spouse no matter what. Clinton Taylor states: “[T]he kind of testimony Michael Schiavo gave would not be sufficient (or even admissible) to affect the disposition of Terri’s property — but it is sufficient to end her life.”

He Wants a Stay on Replacing Feeding Tube…

Just heard on Fox News: Reporter Julie Banderas:

Michael Schaivo, of course, hopes they [the 11th Circuit] reject that appeal. Sources tell us, this is what he plans to do next, he wants to take the additional step of asking the courts, if, and I repeat if, they rule in favor of the Schindlers’ to include an 8 hour stay before putting that feeding tube back in Terri Schaivo, giving him time to file his appeal to the United States Supreme Court.

Time to make sure she dies.

Hearing On Terri at 3 pm Eastern

The Federal Judge (James Whittemore) will hear the case at 3:00 pm Eastern Standard Time.

Spelling of the Judge’s name corrected.

President's Statement

Via Reuters:

Today, I signed into law a bill that will allow federal courts to hear a claim by or on behalf of Terri Schiavo for violation of her rights relating to the withholding or withdrawal of food, fluids, or medical treatment necessary to sustain her life. In cases like this one, where there are serious questions and substantial doubts, our society, our laws, and our courts should have a presumption in favor of life. This presumption is especially critical for those like Terri Schiavo who live at the mercy of others.

The Bill PASSED!

The bill passed and is on it’s way to the President for signature. More as I get it.

Final Vote 203-58.

UPDATE: Via Fox – W signed the bill.

Repreive

Terri’s received a repreive for now. Judge Greer is unlocateable, to deal with the subpoenas, so another Judge has “stayed” the order again. Via Fox News.

Prayer For Terri
