They are to pray the Rosary now.

I'll check it out- thanks for linking!

[malakhi]

Can't stay away, can you?

Why is that?

[HairOfTheDog]

I was on vacation the last 8 days, away from all computers and most news... otherwise, I probably would have checked in here sooner.

[malakhi]

A plain reading of the statue COMPELS a De Novo hearing....Logically followiing from that, the Object of said hearing needs to be alive.

The bill did not change existing law governing the granting of temporary injunctive relief. Frist confirmed that.

[malakhi]

outside of established law

On the contrary, they acted within established law. Your complaint is that they DIDN'T act outside of established law.

[malakhi]

If a chest cracker is a heart surgeon, what's a nut cracker?

A urologist? ;o)

[verity]

And I thought it was a musical opus.:-)

That's that Christian love flowing from them. Pick on the kids.

There ia a discussion of this here: http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/opinions/articles/0329robb30.html . You may have to register though. I tried to post it the other day but they won't let FR post their articles apparently.

This was the pertinent part:

Basically, the court weighs where the balance of the harm falls. District Judge James Whittemore found that the weight of the harm fell overwhelmingly in favor of ordering that the tube be reinserted. Without it, Schiavo would die.

But the rules also require a finding that the party asking for the order would likely prevail on the legal issues. And that, given the actual scope of the review Congress directed, was the problem.

It's that "sins of the father visited upon the children" thing, dontcha know. Just feel the love.

[hobbes1]

No, Frist asserts two separate things, first that no Law is changed, then he asserts that it is fairly evident that because of what the bill requires She must be kept alive....and as i pointed out in order to have that be the actual state of things you need to rely on First speaking casually, and Reject Santorum speaking casually, and the Main men behind the legislation briefing the Court on it.


Going further if Whittemores decision isnt activism what is?

In Count 6 or 7 he asserts that they have no claim against Hospice, because Hospice is following the Order of a State Court, he then in Count 10 rejects the Substantive Due process claim, because there is No State actor?

[hobbes1]

You have to read Whittemores decision to actually appreciate what an underhanded pr!ck he is. it is posted a bit back on this thread.

[sodpoodle]

I am appalled by your comments and examining my own.

It has been redemptive.

Thank you.

[Spyder]

Urologist.

Oops - you beat me to it!

Also intersting is this bit of word game they play with in the comments section.

Our dissenting colleague says that “the denial of Plaintiffs’ request for an injunction

frustrates Congress’s intent, which is to maintain the status quo.” Dissenting Op. at __. The status

quo is that Mrs. Schiavo is not receiving nutrition and hydration. The plaintiffs do not want the

statusquo maintained. Theywant this Court orthedistrict courtto issuean injunction affirmatively

requiringtherespondents to change the status quo bybringing about the surgical procedurenecessary

to reinsert the feeding tube into Mrs. Schiavo.

That ignores EVEN THE PART THEY QUOTED from Frist and Levin, that says, I would expect her to be Kept ALIVE. WHich was the status quo. Nope, No Activism to see here...move along.

[unbalanced but fair]

Thanks for the link. I'll check it out.
