This quote --

So she has a pretty odd definition of "Day One." Unless by "Day One" she means the day she became Born Again.
On the other hand, the quote would seem to constitute an admission that she sat on her "rights" for 10, if not 30, years.
But I guess that's okay in the Fifth Circuit, as long as you're not trying to do something silly like avoid execution.

It's pretty remarkable. Even the DA (or whatever it is who's being sued) didn't file a brief in the circuit.
But let me ask this, since news sources are rarely reliable on the point, as I interpret it, the 5th circuit simply said we're not going to dismiss the appeal out of hand and we'll hear oral argument on it. Isn't it quite a step to get past that point? I mean, as a judge I might like to get McCorvey's lawyer up there just to toy with 'em.
