Exactly. And, it was GOP showboating at its worst.
DeLay and Frist have known for six weeks that March 18 was zero hour. So what do they do?
They wait until March 17 to do something, when the media will be focused on their efforts.
And it's not going to work. This "subpoena" business was embarrassing, and futile.
The House should have passed the Senate bill, but DeLay was too insistent on having it his way.
Now, he may not get enough members back to even vote on a bill at all.

I am forced to agree with you. This action is actually worse than doing nothing - it is showboating to appease religious conservatives like myself. If they are not willing to back up their words with forceful action, then they have lost me. If Terri dies because of the impotence of GOP leaders (including the President), I am changing my party affiliation from Republican to Independent.
I am sick to my soul of working for and voting for candidates that don't deliver. I don't want to hear "We Can't" anymore. Get it done boys, or I go.
