Well, after Congress and the White House moved heaven and earth to subvert due process, a federal judge has denied a request to re-insert Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube.
A federal judge on Tuesday denied an emergency request to reinsert a feeding tube for Terri Schiavo, a brain-damaged woman at the center of a national legal battle over her life.
Attorneys for Schiavo’s parents will file an appeal at the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta, Georgia.
Schiavo has been without food or water since Friday, when a state judge ordered her feeding tube removed at her husband’s request.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge James Whittemore in Tampa came after Congress and President Bush enacted legislation aimed at allowing federal courts to review Schiavo’s case.
So now it’s off to the appeals court. We’ll have to wait and see how this continues to play out.
