This is the family law equivalent of the constitutionally banned "bill of attainder," legislation that seeks to convict someone of a crime.

What crime has Terri committed? It sounds more like a Congressional pardon to me. A pardon of someone who has been sentenced to death for what she is, rather than what she's done.

Its not a crime. Any fair minded person reading the law will see that grants Terri's family standing to have their daughter's case heard in federal court. And unlike a bill of attainder, NO judgment is made on the merits of the dispute and Congress certainly didn't hand down a sentence. I guess its too much work to ask the LAT editors to go back and read the text of the law before rushing off with a half-ass editorial attributing nefarious motives to Republicans.
