Addendum

I don't want to go overboard with the number of posts about the Terri Schiavo affair, but there are still a few interesting links worth noting. As significant developments in the case unfold I'll likely add links here so that there is minimal posts on it today.

I've been able to track down most of the relevant legal documents online of the case. Here is the most recent 2-1 decision denying reinsertion of Terri's feeding tube. Interestingly, the fact that Congress originally included a provision authorizing a stay for the removal in the original version of the bill, only to remove it before passage, seems to have influenced the circuit court's decision. Here's the amended complaint filed by the parents in the Florida district court. Here's a copy of the brief filed on Michael Schiavo's behalf. Here's the trial court ruling which denied the parents' request for a temporary restraining order. Here's the original motion for a temporary restraining order that Terri Schiavo's parents filed (and in this order the judge faulted them for failing to attach a memorandum of law in that original motion).

As a recap of ITA coverage, I examine the constitutionality of the "Terri's bill" here and try to restore perspective in this post.

Sen. Tom Harkin is considering a bill that would give federal jurisdiction to all cases like Terri's.
