I've been heartened by Rep. DeLay's comments, but I still have to ask Why did Congress wait until the end of last week to try to pass something? And why did the House adjourn before a bill could be agreed on and sent to President Bush? Bush has been willing for days to sign something, if they'd only pass something. WHY DID THEY WAIT? Now terri may die because they dawdled.

Senator Wexler and another (I forget who) tried to block the legislation unless they got some pork barrel spending stuff concessions from the Republicans.

How creepy!

I don't know why they waited so late to introduce it, unless they were trying to bring others on board. They adjourned because they couldn't get unanimous consent.



Fox just reported that the Senate will sign today!

I really do think the conservatives are doing everything they can. If Terri dies, it won't be their fault.

Why did Congress wait until the end of last week...

The U.S. Congress waited until this last week, hoping that Florida would take care of this state problem. They didn't.
