"No" again to the parents of Ms. Schiavo

The parents have been rebuffed again overnight by a three judge panel of the 11th Circuit, voting 2-1 against the Schindlers. Expect more crapulent posturing from the christo-fascists conceming the SC justice who hears this case, Anthony Kennedy.

It's almost as though the judges are handing the Bugman and his allies an oblique judicial smackdown for trying an extra-Constitutional run through the thoroughly litigated personal matter of Terri Schiavo. But then that's just the opinion of one lay person out here in "flyover country".

The saddest spectacle so far: the Florida doctor who being paraded around as a "Nobel nominee" by the wingnuts. This document is interesting in it's discussion of the doctors past problems with the Florida Department of Health. It's almost as though he's in this for the notoriety of being associated with such a high profile case, he's been referred to on WingNutTV as a "Nobel Nominee"...although, imagine my surprise to learn that his republican congressman is a person allowed to send in nominees for the Noble Prize.

The Constitution is a living, breathing document. Why do Republicans wanna pull the plug on it?

Anyone can send in nominations for a Nobel prize.

And a congressman's nomination will receive about as much careful consideration as a nomination from Bozo the Clown.

Why, I'm suprised that the 101st Fighting Keyboarders haven't all nominated each other, then they could put NOBEL PRIZE NOMINEE! on their blogs.

But they'd still be dumb as a bag of hammers.

Actually, as I understand it the Nobel Committee selects only a few people -- three thousand -- who are allowed to make nominations. And the person who "nominated" this doctor wasn't one of the people invited.

Anyone can write a letter claiming to nominate, but as far as the Nobel committee is concerned that person is not nominated unless it comes from one of the 3k.

The CORRECT decisions have been made repeatedly so far in this case.

My only hope is that the SCOTUS concurs with the rest of them, and follows suit.

I will NOT be holding my breath, until such decision is rendered and announced.

SCOTUS concurred, thank goodness. May this madness end quickly.
