#1 BigEd, please don't get your hopes up. If the order is accurately stated in the article it is just procedural.

#2 It's too late to save Terri. The dehydration I'm sure has done irreversible damage to Terri's organs. These judges need to be held accountable for the torture that they have inflicted on this human being that could not defend herself.

#3 One more thing: the husband agreed to an autopsy. I'm sure that the procedure will be rigorous and objective.

#4 Matt - I understand what you are saying... But if they agree to take paperwork,
we may know about more where individual judges stand... Judge Pryor, eg, may be forced to declare himself. And W can then decide whether his recess appt was worth the effort, and mabye withdraw the regular appt if he doen't understand the situation....

The fact that the first en banc was refused, means that only 3 judges positions we know for sure, because of the procedural nature of the decision... This may give us more of a chance to know of these judges because of the nature of the appeal....

#6 Predictible : Denied 2-1

Judge Wilson, Clinton appointee.
The only judge, along with Judge Tjoflat on the en banc to show humanity...

By the way... Santorum is saying the House should get "involved" with Greer and Whittimore...

Hannity is asking about the word "impeachment"...

Santorum is saying, "that is for the house to decide..." and impeachment is the "most extreme solution." (but seemed to be ENCOURAGING the house to ACT)

#7 En Banc Denied 10-2
Wilson & Tjoflat dissenting---

Decision

But not only should Whittimore be impeached, they ought to consider adding Birch, a Bush 41 appointee to the court of appeals. The imperial condescending arrogance of this b-----d.

I concur in the denial of rehearing en banc in this case because any further action by our court or the district court, would be improper, as I explain below.
An axiom in the study of law is that âhard facts make bad law.â The tragic events that have afflicted Mrs. Schiavo and that have been compounded by the resulting passionate inter-family struggle and media focus certainly qualify as âhard facts.â And, while the members of her family and the members of Congress
have acted in a way that is both fervent and sincere, the time has come for dispassionate discharge of duty. A popular epithet directed by some members of society, including some members of Congress, toward the judiciary involves the denunciation of âactivist judges.â Generally, the definition of an âactivist judgeâ is one who decides the
outcome of a controversy before him according to personal conviction, even one sincerely held, as opposed to the dictates of the law as constrained by legal precedent and, ultimately, our Constitution. In resolving the Schiavo controversy
it is my judgment that, despite sincere and altruistic motivation, the legislative and
executive branches of our government have acted in a manner demonstrably at odds with our Founding Fathersâ blueprint for the governance of a free people âour Constitution. Since I have sworn, as have they, to uphold and defend that Covenant, I must respectfully concur in the denial of the request for rehearing en
banc.

BIRCH
