Excerpts from Federal Ruling

"Plaintiffs offer no authority for their contention that Judge Greer (Florida Circuit Judge George Greer) compromised the fairness of the proceeding or immortality of the court by following Florida law and fulfilling his statutory responsibilities ... as presiding judge and decision maker."

(T)his court concludes that Theresa Schiavo's life and liberty interests were adequately protected by the extensive process provided in the state courts."

"This court appreciates the gravity of the consequences of denying injunctive relief. Even under these difficult and time strained circumstances, however, and notwithstanding Congress' expressed interest in the welfare of Teresa Schiavo, this court is constrained to apply the law to the issues before it. As Plaintiffs have not established a substantial likelihood of success on the merits, Plaintiffs' Motion for Temporary Restraining Order must be DENIED."
