How many judges?

Many pieces about the Schiavo case cite the number 19 -- 19 judges heard the case. This number has been disputed (Bunk -- The Weekly Standard) and I don't even know who was the first to tally it up. Matt Conigliaro had performed the useful task of giving us the judicial breakdown: 6 judges ruled for the husband's favor on removing the feeding tube; one ruled in husband's favor on constitutional issues; 10 appellate judges ruled not to hear the case; two judges ruled on secondary issues -- 19.

If you have anything you'd like to add, feel free, I would appreciate it. I enjoy your columns and thought that you were an interesting writer. Thank you for your time, and keep on doing what you do best! E-mail is PrettyBaby1216@yahoo.com

Were? Has something changed? Of course most of your readers, including me, probably think the present tense is still appropriate.
