Thanx, I actually did leave out a part.

The District Court shall entertain and determine the suit without any delay or abstention in favor of State court proceedings, and regardless of whether remedies available in the State courts have been exhausted.

Again, SHALL.

I don't believe I ever said you wrote it. I didn't think you did, either. It was an italicized quote.

The Court did entertain the suit and determined that, based on the presentation of the Schindlers' attorney, that the case would have no merit.

The Schindlers were not well-served by these pro-bono barristers.

There's a new "Neo-Nazi" thread up. This one has a poster who wants us to pray to Terri. That's right...not for her, to her.

I just now spotted one called "The Slide to Aushwitz". I haven't opened, don't think I will. Think I'll go take a walk - it's warm and sunny outside.

That language means HAVE A HEARING, not entertain motins related to the TRO in place of having the hearing.

This is true. One idly wonders what might have happened if there were a lawyer of Johnny Cochrane's ability on the job...Gibbs basically lost the case for the Schindlers, I believe is the lawyerly consensus.

There might not have been much of a case, either, since the only de Novo point was on whether or not Terri received due process, and Gibbs, I believe, didn't really have anything to give to the contrary...or so I have heard lawyers here at FR discuss.

Illinois? I dunno. I'm pretty impressed with State, but I have no dog in that hunt.

Well, Both Laura Ingraham, and David Boies saw it differnetly on the legal angle.

Boies (who has a vested interest in keepiong his mouth shut, since he practices), basically said the Judges clearly violated the law.

Probably true.

And it is fallacy to think that the WPPFers aren't also experiencing some degree of anger and/or grief.

The fact is the US CONGRESS mandated a De Novo hearing in a Federal Court, and Greer, Whittemore, and the Other two judges basically said, "We dont feel like it so we aren't doing it"

Congress mandated nothing. They gave the Schindler's and their lawyers an opportunity to plead their case to the federal courts. The federal courts weren't under any obligation to take up the case or render an opinion. The legislation just basically left it up to the discretion of the federal courts.

The Schindler lawyers made the legal error of whining and complaining about Judge Greer, and the federal courts didn't want to hear it, so they threw the Schindler lawyers out on their collective ears.

The Schindler lawyers had been given 6 opportunities by the federal courts, to present new evidence, and they didn't have anything new. This is why the federal courts threw out every argument brought to them.

The courts didn't thumb their noses at Congress, the White House, Jeb Bush, or the American people. The Schindler lawyers made a mockery of the US Judicial system with their abject incompetance.

"Grants jurisdiction to the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida to hear, determine, and render judgment on a suit or claim by or on behalf of Theresa Marie Schiavo (Ms. Schiavo) for the alleged violation of any right of hers under the U.S. Constitution or laws relating to the withholding or withdrawal of food, fluids, or medical treatment necessary to sustain her life."

Due process review, that's it. Nothing more was required under the bill. If no due process violations are presented to, or found by, the reviewing court, end of case.

"It's warm and sunny outside." Here too. Well, in NE Ohio 68 degrees is warm for this time of year. I've got to get some work done though. Oh well. Enjoy.

There was a hearing. From what I understand, the Schindlers' attorney presented nothing but objections to the manner in which Greer came to his conclusions. That's why Gibbs had to go back, a second time, to Whitmore to try to do what he should have done the first time.

I won't cast my pearls to swine anymore.

Pearls are never found near a life form with no apparent cognizance.

You should look back on all our communications.................

You began with your regrettable and less than educated words: Just be quite...You have made your point...enough said.

Then I wrote to you: Who are you ...... the crossing guard? Maybe you should keep your aggressive, unwarranted, and unrequested orders to yourself. At least you could have spelled "quiet" correctly. Didn't do too well in school, eh? Now, lighten up please. Right now is no time for fighting and silly and presumptuous orders from you. The young lady has died.

You are probably angry merely because you can't or didn't do a spell check. No big deal.

Save your unhappy animosity for the bad weather.

Reporting now the pope has taken a decided turn for the worse- he apparently spiked a fever and his bp is dropping...

The Vatican will have a news release on his health shortly...
