If that's where you see the problem, then there's no problem.

It is where I see the potential Constitutional problem. The House also saw a problem on these grounds, which is why their original language was more broadly applicable. The Senate wanted the bill narrowly tailored. That's what the so-call Palm Sunday compromise was all about.

I don't have a problem with Congress tailoring a law to a single case where it appears that the judge does not have the best interest of the person in mind, when in fact, that's the judge's sole legal responsiblity.

If Congress wants to act in any or all of these cases, that's fine with me.

In my opinion, Jeb should have gone in there with the state police and informed everyone that the judge's order to remove the feeding tube would not be enforced. We've seen over the last 5 years what a circus of a legal system Florida has. They have to be stopped, and if it takes an act of Congress to do it, I'm all for it.
