Essentially, couldn't that mean trying the case all over again from the beginning? If so, that could take months...years maybe?

Right. And it seems likely that Michael's guardianship of Terri won't last that long. I'm not sure if Schiavo v. Bush could proceed if Michael loses guardianship, but it would be rather interesting if Michael et al. pressed ahead and Terri appeared in court to defend Bush's actions.

BTW, if Terri recovers, I wonder how her parents would feel about her likeness being used in the campaign ads of candidates challenging certain legislators?

I am so glad that things are swinging in Terri's favor now. I have no legal background at all, and am doing my best to try to follow all the minutiae that just may end up freeing Terri, and I'm glad for all this discussion of it.

I know I'm not adding anything substantial to this discussion, but my heart goes out to Terri, and it's nice to express it here.

Sounds to me like Felos should have been listening to God a little more closely when He said to Felos, "Be careful with how you use your power!" (my paraphrase for when Felos said that God spoke to him when he tried to crash the airplane with his mind).

Kinda like "Be careful what you wish for, it just might come true!"

Thank you for that confirmation. Felos is in for a looong battle :-) and he's definitely outmatched. With the ACLU behind this, they have unlimited funds to pursue it, but I wonder if the ACLU would keep paying Felos' legal fees. Heehee. I bet you're right that if Michael loses guardianship then he and Felos are out of the litigation regarding the constitutional challenge of Terri's Law. Since the petitioner is Michael and Terri Schiavo, would the ACLU have to start the challenge over again from the beginning too? This is sounding better and better.

Greer may not want the lawsuit to proceed with Bush! That may be his reason for having a change of heart suddenly.
