Case will go first to Justice Kennedy

Thomas J. Perrelli, an attorney for Michael Schiavo, said he believes the U.S. Supreme Court will take up the Terri Schiavo by late afternoon today.

“My sense is (the parents’s lawyers) will file by midday and then we’ll literally file as fast as we can” in response, he said.

The case would first go to Justice Anthony Kennedy, a Reagan appointee who has staked a moderate position on social issues.

Kennedy would have the option to act on the petition alone, although on previous emergency requests involving Terri Schiavo he has referred the matter to the entire nine-member court.

Michael Schiavo won court orders to have his brain-damaged wife’s feeding tube removed.
