A petition for rehearing...does this mean anything or is it another bit of legalese for pro forma denial?
This is big. It means that the Court is entertaining the idea that maybe they were wrong. One of the judges who voted for the prior denial of the injunction must be having second thoughts. (Maybe seeing Nat Hentoff, Jesse Jackson, David Bois, Lanny Davis, Ralph Nader and other prominent liberals condemning their actions may have told them this isn't just a right wing nut case situation). I just hope they think fast, 'cause Terri doesn't have a lot of time.
