Because it is doubtful that the original filing precludes a request for a trial de novo, I suspect that such a suit will be filed shortly. When filed, food and water will be provided because the judge has to preserve the status quo ante while evidence is gathered and pretrial proceedings take place. He cannot let Schiavo die while the case is pending.

We'll see, however.

It's difficult to comment on the Schindler family's lawyers' tactics and even more difficult to make sense out of them. Their purposes are opaque at best. Filing an immediate request for a de novo trial would have been the humanitarian thing to do if their purpose is to compel that Schiavo be fed and given liquids. If they had done so, the tube would have been inserted by now.

I presume they are filing an appeal to the 11th Circuit, which is also counter-productive since it is highly unlikely that the Tampa judge will be reversed.

The lawyers are running around like headless chickens.

I am heartened to note that most of the public seems to recognize that Congress acted improperly in passing the law.
