"Court after court and judge after judge decided that what was going to be done was legal" The findings of fact were only ruled on one time. Every future ruling on Terri Schaivo's case was a ruling on the PROCESS. They ruled that the judge followed the proper legal process. They were all silent on the findings of fact (IE, they didn't even look at or consider this aspect of the original ruling). That is typical in most reviews of previously adjudicated cases. Findings of fact are almost always etched in stone even if the original ruling failed to meet the proper standard required under the law. A de novo review (as the law passed by Congress required) would have taken a fresh look & a new finding of fact would have taken place. But the courts ignored that law.
