Jon Eisenberg, author of several amicus briefs in end-of-life cases, reports by email today to the 60 of us who signed the Schiavo brief that:
The Governor’s attorneys have announced that they will ask the United States Supreme Court to take the case. Meanwhile, the Schindlers have asked the trial judge to reopen the case and retry the issue of Terri’s wishes because of the Pope’s recent pronouncement against removal of feeding tubes from PVS patients. I’ll keep you apprised of future developments.
