The Shindlers must show that they are substantially likely to win a claim that the Florida courts did not properly adjudicate the case. 3 levels of federal courts have now ruled that the Shidlers were unlikely to prove that which is the only way they could secure an injunction. There are numerous precedents of this and some have gone to the supreme court: * 1976, the Karen Quinlan case. The US Supreme Court upheld the New Jersey Supreme Court's ruling that Ms. Quinlan's parents had the right to refuse treatment for their daughter. * 1990, the Nancy Cruzan case. The US Supreme Court upheld the Missouri Supreme Court's ruling that the parents must show "clear and convincing" evidence the she would've refused life support. The Missouri courts later granted the petition to end life support. In short, the US Supreme Court has upheld state's rights both times they've been challenged even though each case had a different outcome. (Although Missouri eventually granted the petition.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:151459 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
