The ACLJ and the Family Research council have joined the fight for Terri. Catch is, if I understand correctly, the judge has to grant permission for them to represent her. Convenient isn't it? That probably also has something to do with why this particular action has been filed. Felos and Schiavo want to eliminate the big legal guns. I don't think Felos believes in fighting on equal footing...or maybe it's that he knows that these other people get THEIR power from Christ and not from standing on their heads and chanting boogy woogie and imagining airplanes falling out of the sky. That could be a bit of a problem. There is no doubt that this is a spiritual battle.

that has alway been the case. Ever wonder why so many organizations get to comment on Suprem court cases at the sate and federal level? They were GRANTED permission.

It is a bit unusual at the trial court level. Judge will allow it for a NARROW purpose and if is likely to be part of the appeal record.

They can also get as a co-counsel for a party, judge can't stop that. (probably what the ACLU is doing)
