Brian, if your read is correct, I for one have no problem with the appellate court taking a pot shot at Congress.

Read the opinion. It is essentially a well deserved toongue lashing of the Congress and the President for violating the basic articles of the Articles of Constitution.
Thank gon for a conservative judgement to get the Feds out of oour lives.

That's crap, MattL. The court didn't have to allow this appeal at all. The SCOTUS doesn't seem to have a problem rejecting appeals. The 11th circuit does it all the time. They KNEW there wasn't anything they were going to see that would change their mind. In fact, I'd bet a main reason they did this was so they could take an extra pot shot at the other two branches of government. It's sick, and to suggest that they were "dotting i's and crossing t's" is to ignore reality.

11th circuit doesn't know when to keep its mouth shut Steven Taylor notes the 11th circuit's rejection of a Schindler family appeal petition in the ongoing saga of Terri Schiavo (cue news music. Voice over: "America Waits: Terri's death watch: Day 12"). I'll say this. The 11th Circuit certainly un...

Court Rejects Schiavo Appeal I agree completely with James on this one, as we pretty much have since the beginning:raising Terri Schiavo's parents' hopes at this stage only to dash them yet again seems incredibly cruel.Very. It's almost like a cruel joke.

11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to hear their appeal because they believe in following the rule of law. If the Schinlders and their legal counsel had a sufficient argument that "might" open a new avenue to them, the court had to make sure that the T's and I's were crossed and dotted. When they did review it the court found no new or additional information in their filings. The only ones who are being cruel and unreasonable are the Schindlers by not taking no for an answer and playing the media and the loons with half-backed ideas and thoughts to continue this circus. Since the Schindlers are supposed to be so Christian, why are they fighting like fiends to not allow Terri to go with God?
