TAMPA - Capping a hectic night of action by the Republican Congress and President George Bush to pave the way, a new federal lawsuit designed to keep Terri Schiavo alive landed early this morning in the hands of a federal judge appointed by Democrat Bill Clinton.More.
U.S. District Judge James D. Whittemore, whom Clinton appointed in 1999, received the lawsuit filed by Terri Schiavo's parents via email about 4:30 a.m. -- about a half-hour after he was assigned the case via random computer selection.
Whittemore is expected to rule on that request first, perhaps as early as this morning, while lawyers thrash out the rest of the federal lawsuit.
