That judge was despicable to stall this process for 24 HOURS! He had his mind made up - it was a sham.
Yes, his decision was painfully clear when he scheduled the hearing for 3:00PM yesterday.
He didn't have the courage to release his decision during the day or evening, while the protesters were standing outside the hospice.
He used the cover of night.
Yes. He has been quite cavalier with Mrs. Schiavo's life, which he clearly does not value.
Since the clear intent of S. 686 was for Mrs. Schiavo to receive a full re-hearing, this judge is also exhibiting a flagrant disregard for the law itself: "In such a suit, the District Court shall determine de novo any claim of a violation of any right of Theresa Marie Schiavo within the scope of this Act, notwithstanding any prior State court determination and regardless of whether such a claim has previously been raised, considered, or decided in State court proceedings."
