Why didn't team Delay just accept the Senate Bill which addressed the Schiavo matter, but did not have a broader reach (which it should not, given the whole thing was done on a dime)? Delay has no cards on this one, and will fold on Monday. In the meantime, I am quite unimpressed with his over the top perfervid rhetoric about Congressional inaction, over a "crisis" which he created. But then I am often not a big fan of Delay. I just don't like his act.

For reasons unclear to me, the House adjourned before the Senate vote was concluded. Now they're talking about reconvening on Monday.

I don't think either the House or Senate bill is constitutional, but the Senate's bill is far less unconstitutional. The House should adopt that and then see what happens.

I find "conservative" Delay's complete indifference to the concept of federalism absolutely appalling.

Because the senate bill is a waste of time just like the one the legislature worked on in FL. It isn't going to save Terri or anybody else. Why do you think they had enough votes to pass the meaningless thing in the senate?
