The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal of Florida Governor Jeb Bush to reinstate the Florida law that barred Terri Schiavo's husband from starving her to death [more]. While the case is disappointing it does not affect the ongoing legal avenues being pursued in Florida by the Schindlers, Terri's parents. In fact, there's a key court hearing today [AP].
LifeNews reports that a settlement between the Schindler's and Terri's husband is unlikely.
"They offered to give him everything and they would pay all the costs of her rehabilitation and her care -- even if he wanted to stay married to her and inherit everything,'' said Barbara Weller, the Schindlers' attorney.JivinJehoshaphat comments on the difficulty Terri's husband seems to have "letting go":
Yes, letting go is painful when your daughter’s husband has been living with another woman for years, has two children with this other woman, and won't divorce your daughter because he's after the money that he promised to use to rehabilitate her.

I wrote about this earlier in the week: The Wrong Right.
I think the worst part of this is that there is no reason for Michael Schiavo to make Terri die. Her parents would gladly take care of her. he could get a no-fault divorce so that he can marry his girlfriend. There is no reason for him to force this issue.
Sorry for the double post, but Terri's Fight has a new press release so I had to post a new blog.
