The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, widely viewed as the most conservative court, denied the Schiavo parent's appeal, the Associated Press is reporting:
In a 2-1 ruling early Wednesday, a panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta said the parents "failed to demonstrate a substantial case on the merits of any of their claims" that Terri's feeding tube should be reinserted immediately.So, does this make them activist judges? Or, not? Will Santorum, Frist and DeLay start trashing them, too? Damn, this is confusing.
"There is no denying the absolute tragedy that has befallen Mrs. Schiavo," the ruling said. "We all have our own family, our own loved ones, and our own children. However, we are called upon to make a collective, objective decision concerning a question of law."
