As much as I detest what is happening to Terri Schiavo and her family, and as much as I believe that her husband is scum, I think that short of a miracle, this case is lost under the law.

I also don't think that this action by Congress is anything more than a dog and pony show for the benefit of the voters.

The job of the Courts is to interpret the law as written, and to the best of my knowledge Terri Schiavo will starve to death because unfair and inhuman as it is, the law stands on the side of her husband.

I hope we learn from this, and set in place legislature to correct this gross injustice.

Pray for Terri and her family.

I don't know whether this legislation is constitutional or not, but I anticipate the federal courts will decide that issue fairly quickly.

I don't think Congress should have gotten involved in a state matter, which is the same reason the US Supremes were refusing to hear the appeals in this case.

But this situation has become a national story and seems to have its own momentum, so I'm more than casually interested in how it gets ultimately resolved.

I agree with you on this point. I believe Congress should have taken the broader view. It should craft a law setting national policy in euthanasia cases, which is what the Schiavo case is at its core.
