Keeping Terri Schiavo Alive

The legal efforts intensify in Florida to keep Terri Schiavo alive.  David Gibbs, the Florida attorney representing Terri's parents, will be in court today before Florida Circuit Court Judge George Greer requesting that an emergency stay put in place yesterday be continued while other legal issues are considered.

This is such an important case.  We ask that you continue to keep David Gibbs and Terri's parents - Robert and Mary Schindler - in your prayers as these legal developments unfold.  Also, we will keep updated information posted to our website as developments occur and will bring you the latest on our daily radio broadcast as well.

We are preparing for another round of moot court sessions for the attorneys who will deliver oral arguments before the Supreme Court in the Ten Commandments cases.  I will debate Douglas Laycock, Assoc. Dean for Research, University of Texas School of Law tomorrow at an event at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. sponsored by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.  I want to let you know that there is a lot riding on these cases.  The Supreme Court yesterday decided to hold our Ohio Ten Commandments case where we represent Judge DeWeese, an Ohio state judge, who wanted to display a poster of the Ten Commandments in his courtroom along with other historical documents.  How the Supreme Court decides the two cases before it on March 2nd will determine what happens to our Ohio case and other cases around the country.
