WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Senate Sunday unanimously passed legislation aimed at prolonging the life of a brain-damaged woman, Terri Schiavo, by moving the Florida case into the jurisdiction of federal courts.

:In a rare Sunday session, the Senate interrupted what was to have been the start of a two-week congressional break, to pass the bill on a voice vote.

After a temporary delay due to objections by some Democrats, the House was expected to take up the same legislation late Sunday night and pass the measure early Monday morning.

Looks like Bush didn't waste him time returning to Washington. Thank, God.

Unanimously passed on a voice vote.

Snort.

Hilliary didn't have to take a position, did she?

Boy, what a profile in courage those Senate Dems are.

NOT.

As usual, the Dems vote for death. They'd make good Muslims, but I certainly hope none of them claims to be Christian. And these are the thugs Hellery wants to camoflage as pro-life? She must really think the US voter is totally ignorant.

Forcing Hillary to go on record would have been golden.

It's gonna be hard for her to camoflage without a stated position and/or a recorded vote.

Someone could and should ask her how she would have voted.

Bush needs to now have the Feds move in and arrest Judge Greer and his cohorts.

We have the momentum now. It is time to put an end to this judicial tyranny once and for all.

Speaking of Hillary and the Senate Dems - this will be remembered the way the Elian Gonzolas case is remembered - not often and poorly. The institutional memory of this nation is crap. Most college freshmen can't tell you what year 9/11 happened. So, everyone who is going to vote against the Dems is already aware of what's going on. Those who are with the Dems won't be persuaded because of this. And those who are unaware, will continue to not care.

And all the while McCain is flapping his gums about why this should not be a political issue as they got better things to worry about...ya RIGHT like the MLB and the steroid problem. Didnt take the P*&%K long to jump on the band wagon on that one did it? I hope they dont make a political issue of that!

I wonder if these A*&holes can figure their way out of a parking lot.

Please let it be noted that it was the DEMOCRATS that wanted her dead.
