Sen. Rick Santorum gave an excellent retort to Wyden's claim that the states should decide on the Schiavo issue without any federal intervention. Indeed Schiavo deserves as much access to 'due process' of law as a murderer like Scott Peterson. -- http://www.oregonconservative.com/SantorumSpeech3-17-05.htm

The 23rd Psalm --- Translated to Terri's Present Reality !!!

The Lord is Terri's Shepherd --- That's Relationship !!!

She shall not want --- That's Supply !!!

He maketh her to lie down in green pastures --- That's Rest !!!

He leadeth her beside the still waters --- That's Refreshment !!!

He restoreth her soul --- That's Healing !!!

He leadeth her in the paths of righteousness --- That's Guidance !!!

For His name sake --- That's Purpose !!!

Yea, though Terri walk through the valley of the shadow of death --- That's Testing !!!

She will fear no evil --- That's Protection !!!

For Thou art with her --- That's Faithfulness !!!

Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort her --- That's Discipline !!!

Thou preparest a table before Terri in the presence of her enemies--- That's Hope !!!

Thou annointest her head with oil --- That's Consecration !!!

Her cup runneth over --- That's Abundance !!!

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow Terri all the days of her life --- That's Blessing !!!

And she will dwell in the house of the Lord --- That's Security!!!

Forever --- That's Eternity !!!

Congressional Subpoena --- That's Deliverance !!!

Face it ---- The Lord is crazy about Terri !!!

Otherwise --- Why else would He continuously deliver her from
the evil hands of her attempted murderers ???

Yes and Wyden is arguing for killing her. This shouldn't be forgotten.

The same guys don't want the States to decide abortion.

The truth is that the Florida legislature voted to forbid the tube from being pulled. But the courts substituted their judgment for the will of the people.

"....the Senate is tackling an extraordinarily sensitive concern that involves moral and ethic and religious principles and this troubles me greatly."

...and that you're greatly troubled by this, scares the hell out of me.

The Florida legislature should start acting soon to remove those judges.

Since Terri didn't have a living will, her right to life should supercede Michael's hearsay claim that she wanted to die.

The voters in Florida keep re-electing them. It's kinda hard for the legislature to act when the voters will not.

The genius (what you wrote) that is inspired from tragedy never ceases to amaze.

Now is the time to die...and pray for Terri.

Again, we see the Florida Supreme Court and liberal judges executing peoples rights. Who wants to live in Floridah?

So Terri can be deprived of life and it is not a U.S. Constitutional question? No federal courts? The U.S. Constitution is worthless then.

Without even a single hearing, without any debate whatever, the Senate is tackling an extraordinarily sensitive concern that involves moral and ethic and religious principles and this troubles me greatly.

I guess I was not clear. Our judges here in Fla. are subject to election. The voters keep re-electing the judges, so the legislature can't do much about it.

Ah, the legislative trap we fall into. Every person so treated should have access to the federal courts. That is what the original language stated.

So Wydon objects, and offers an amendment to limit it to Terri. They accept the amendment. Then he objects because it means every single case will come to congress. Which is only true because of his amendment.....

The judge is in contempt of Congress. Send Federal Marshalls in to get Terry and arrest the judge. I'd like to see him go out in chains!

And if we are to believe polls, a majority of Floridians think this action is just fine. God help us all. I have little doubt if that n*zi Greer were to stand for reelection today he would win. Then in the future when people deemed unfit start getting executed we'll see what the reaction of the populace is.
