The minute those subpoenas were issued, congress had jurisiction. Proper procedure is for Michael Schiavo to quash the subpoenas.

The act of issuing the subpoenas did not grant Congress jurisdiction. And it is not up to Michael to quash the subpoenas. He is obligated to carry out the orders of the court. The fact that Congress is now pursuing the matter in the courts is evidence of this.

You know not of what you speak.

Properly we have a conflict between the two and the issue is for a hearing to had on where the manifest harm in maintaining the status quo until the subpoenas are fulfilled.

The courts have upheld congressional subpoenas. (see nixon)

Greer present action is based on his intent that Terri die before congress can act.

Congress has jurisdiction with respect to enforcing the subpoenas. Terri Schiavo must appear as a witness at the congressional hearing on March 28, 2005. Anyone who interferes with it is in contempt of congress.

Yes it is.

It's evidence that congress is limp d-ck.
