US House of Rep. in an Extraordinary Sunday night Session [Schiavo] (Bush Signs Schiavo bill)

[FoxPro]

This is an unprecedented session. The Congress is meeting to save one persons life (in real time).

The only reason the Democrats are agreeing to this is that they don’t want to be known as the party that killed Terri.

This is American history happening before your eyes.

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Amen to that!

Me too, I was pleased to see the House list. My Congressmen voted YEAH! But I would like to see if the Senators did.

However, then you work to get the law overthrown, legally.

How? Abortion was legalized by the judicial fiat of the SCOTUS. The theory being that there is an unmentioned right to privacy and it was later determined that it necessarily includes abortion.

Are you talking about a constitutional amendment? Or are you talking about getting constructionists back in the SCOTUS?

My guess would be: MORS OMNIUM VICET Partly from VENI, VIDI, VICI -- Caesar famous saying of "I came, I saw, and I Conquered", but then I may be in the wrong tense... Past Tense for "VICI".

Hmmmm... I know next to squat about latin. I based mine on "Amor Vincet Omnia", usuallly translated as "love conquers all."

Thanks for the thought, though - I'll keep looking at it.

It's late. Should have said redeemed! Redemmed, now that's an interesting thought . . . won't go there.

[Selkie]

I wonder if Terri had been black if so many Congressional Black Caucus would have voted NAY ot not voted at all.

What a selfish bunch of (be nice now) PUNKS.

[Salamander]

FReepmail me your cheat-sheet...I wanna have psychedelic posts too!...;))

[BCrago66]

You saw MRI's of Terri? Come again?

[Shortstop7]

I think she's a "he" too...... a committeman for 8 years? Was that would it said..?

Strange way for woman to describe herself...

[Salamander]

I have to go the bathroom *so* bad but I'm afraid to leave FR for fear I'll miss more good news....LOL!

It's beautiful and I'm jealous....:))

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Sorry I can't do psychedelic yet!But I'll send you some colors!LOL.

FReep mail on the way!

[al_again]

Excellent points that the courts should decide. ?Unfortunately for society, the courts no longer take morality into effect when making decisions (thank the state legislatures as well for allowing no-fault divorces).

Hopefully tonight is the first step in re-introducing a higher level of morality into the legal system!

[Petronski]

Tell us all about when you saw "Terri's MRIs." Please be as specific as possible. I'll wait here.

Please cite which of the several studies on the Florida election support the concept that Gore would have won if the count had continued.
