I think Congress is making a mistake here, but they're going to do it.

What will be interesting is to see whether this law is challenged as being an unconstitutional intrusion into a state's sovereignty, or whether it's just accepted. From a practical standpoint, I don't have an objection to another look at Terri's condition. I do have a legal and constitutional problem with this solution being offered.

To my mind, the only thing that's germaine here is what Terri's Schiavo's wishes were. Considering the room for doubt, somebody's lying, I don't have a problem with the Federal court system getting involved. The prospect of different states having differernt standards gives me the willies. Surely a life ought to have the same worth in all fifty states, and if it takes Federal involvement to ensure that, so be it.

Exactly. I don't know why it hasn't been done before, but evidently other judges agreed with Greer; but now that we are here, maybe that should happen.

And you are smart to; this open the door to a friend or an aunt or an uncle taking a spouse to court because they don't agree with a decision a couple makes.
