Democratic leader Rep. Chris Smith, D-Fort Lauderdale, said the Legislature should stay out of the case.
"The Schiavo case is a personal matter. It's a family matter," Smith said.
Larry Spalding of the ACLU of Florida said Congress won't be under the same pressure to act as legislators in Florida, where a video clip of Terri Schiavo has been shown regularly on the news.
Spalding and other legal scholars said the federal bill would be unconstitutional. The measure by Martinez and Weldon would cover a narrow group of patients such as Schiavo who are under court order to remove their feeding tubes and have left no written instructions about how much health care intervention they would want if they became incapacitated.
Michael Allen, professor of law at Stetson University, called the bill "extraordinarily dangerous." It impinges on state rights by allowing lower federal courts to second guess decisions by the Supreme Court of Florida, or other states in different cases.

there is a talk radio host named Mike McConnell who needs to be freeped. He calls himself a conservative, but he spent his whole show last weekend arguing for making Terri dead. In the past he has had a show in favor of legalizing drugs, and against the patriot act. He has also accepted advertising from CAIR, which is a front group for HAMAS.
