SCHIAVO NEWS: Here is Michael Schiavo’s statement, issued today. Here is a New York Times article about the separation of powers argument against the Florida Legislature’s action. (This article, like the TIME article discussed below, omits the main evidence that Schiavo has a conflict of interest — see that post for details).

UPDATE: The Associated Press reports here:

The family of a disabled woman now under treatment by orders of Gov. Jeb Bush is barred from seeing her because her husband won’t allow it, the family’s attorney said Wednesday.

Xrlq explains that this is, like everything else, according to Terri’s wishes:

Michael Schiavo, the selfless, loving husband who is only acting according to his wife’s dying wishes, has suddenly recalled a second private conversation with Terri. As it turns out, not only did Terri confide that she wanted to die if she became incapacitated, she also told him that she hates her family and never wants to see them again.

If the family is truly being barred from visiting Ms. Schiavo, what is the reason — other than pure spite? If Mr. Schiavo were trying to prove that he is a selfish person not interested in his wife’s best interests, he couldn’t do much better than this.

UPDATE x2: He apparently changed his mind.
