RSSSTRIKE 3, 11th Circuit Court Rejects Schiavo Appeal
From AP: 11th Circuit Court Rejects Schiavo Appeal
With time running out for Terri Schiavo, a federal appeals court Wednesday rejected her parents’ latest attempt to get the brain-damaged woman’s feeding tube reconnected.
The Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to consider an emergency bid by Bob and Mary Schindler for a new hearing in their case, raising a flicker of hope for the parents after a series of setbacks in the case. But the court rejected the request 15 hours later.
Three times last week, the court also ruled against the Schindlers.
It looks like the last flicker of a hope has gone.

From the Way Too Much Information Category
You know sometimes there is just too much information out there. From a need to know basis reporting on the Michael Jackson case, this is one of those bits of info I just did not have to know. Then again is anything really going to surprise us in this case? Wait, I take that back.
Maybe I will get this question on some inane trivia game in the future. Wait, how old was Michael when he married Lisa Marie, never mind.
More ACLU Insanity
What is more American than Minutemen? Leave it to the ACLU to be on the wrong side again. The ACLU taking on the Minutemen, say it isn’t so.
On April 1, 2005 the Minuteman Project begins.
an all-volunteer effort by law-abiding American citizens to call attention to the nation’s wide open southern border. Hundreds of Americans from New York to Michigan to California will travel down to the U.S.-Mexico border for a month to monitor illegal aliens and alert immigration enforcement officials if they witness law-breaking.
Would the ACLU come to the aide of Americans defending their civil right, freedoms and their “Freedom of Speech,” of course not.
But instead of coming to the defense of the Minutemen who are challenging our government, the ACLU has warned the 1,000 volunteers that it will send monitors to document the Americans’ activities. Moreover, the ACLU has already threatened lawsuits against the American dissenters for exercising their rights.
The ACLU takes this position in a post 9-11 World, meanwhile we are provided with such grim illegal immigration news.

Looks Like CBS and the Libs Just Can’t Wait or Get It Right

This story originally appeared on the CBS News website on Monday, March 28th at the following URL. You can find a PDF version of the original CBS story here.
Surrounded by stuffed animals and medical equipment in her small hospice room in Pinellas Park, Fla., Theresa Marie Schindler Schiavo died TK.
There is just one problem with this story CBS, Terri Schiavo is not dead. Actually her parents won a Court hearing early Wednesday morning granting her a new hearing.
So once again CBS jumps the gun on a news story. This scenario is becoming commonplace these days. One would think that this story would be easier to confirm than National Guard documents.
Update: Looks like Drudge has a link on his site about the same story. Hey Matt, what’s up with that? The story you provided is 14 hours older than the link I sent you and not even from the Glen Beck Program that broke the story? Thanks?
Finally, Terri’s Parents Get a Win
AP reports: A federal appeals court early Wednesday agreed to consider a petition for a new hearing on whether to reconnect Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube. After so many Court denial Terri Schiavo’s family finally received a Court victory; however, it could be too late.
The ruling by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals came as the severely brain-damaged woman entered her 13th day without nourishment.
This gives the family some hope, but time is of the essence.
More details on the decision here.
In seeking a new hearing late Tuesday, attorneys for Schiavo’s parents argued that the District Court “committed plain error when it reviewed only the state court case and outcome history.”
Now, the court will consider the request for a new hearing based on the facts of the case, rather than whether previous Florida court rulings have met legal standards under state law.
There was no time frame for the court to consider the motion, but the Schindler’s attorneys asked to have the tube reinserted immediately “in light of the magnitude of what is at stake and the urgency of the action required.”
Hmm … “Now, the court will consider the request for a new hearing based on the facts of the case”. What a novel concept, isn’t this what was supposed to occur when th US Congress got involved and sent the case back to the Federal Judge, James D. Whittemore to review the facts of the case and not just review by the law and rulings that had preceded him?
