Update (3/18/05): If you’ve landed here through an Internet search, please see the latest post on Terri Schiavo.

Update II: I wondered why the source link suddenly didn’t work. CNSNews retracted the story because there is no stay. It seems that M. Schiavo is free to have his wife killed. See Blogs for Terri.
Update III (5:35 p.m.): Sorry for the late update on this. Long meeting. As you can tell, I’m not the go-to person, but here’s the latest from the Miami Herald:
The fate of a severely brain-damaged woman remained locked in a flurry of legal gamesmanship Tuesday, as a state appeals court cleared the way for her husband to have a feeding tube removed but a local judge then blocked the removal, at least for another day.The 2nd District Court of Appeal offered no specific instructions in a one-page mandate allowing Michael Schiavo, husband of Terri Schiavo, to order his wife’s tube be removed.
But an hour later, Circuit Court Judge George Greer issued an emergency stay blocking the tube’s removal until 5 p.m. EST Wednesday as both sides prepared for more arguments in his courtroom earlier that day.

Update IV (8:48 p.m.): Hugh Hewitt is talking to a very frustrating neurologist who believes Schiavo should be killed. In case you’re wondering, Hugh falls squarely on the side of LIFE!

The husband of Terri Schiavo, a brain-damaged woman on feeding tubes, will have to wait another day for her to die. Curses! Foiled again.
A Florida circuit court ruled Monday afternoon that Michael Schiavo could take no action until after a previously scheduled hearing on Wednesday.Terri’s parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, filed an emergency motion seeking the temporary protection for their daughter after losing an earlier court battle Monday morning. In that action, the Florida Second District Court of Appeals indicated that it would issue a mandate on schedule Tuesday that would clear the way for the lower court to set the date on which Terri’s feeding tube could be removed.
Schiavo’s attorney, “right-to-die” advocate George Felos, had signaled Schiavo’s intention to stop his wife’s nutrition and hydration “immediately” after the issuance of that mandate. The Monday afternoon ruling by Pinellas-Pasco County, Fla., Circuit Judge George Greer prevents that, until at least Wednesday. (Source)

Very Important Update: I’m confused about what’s going on. Michael Schiavo is pulling the plug anyway? And I think I’m 24 hours behind the news cycle. The order expired today at 1:00 p.m.? Somebody want to help me out here?
