Mr. FRIST. I share the understanding of the Senator from Michigan, as does the junior Senator from Florida who is the chief sponsor of this bill. Nothing in the current bill or its legislative history mandates a stay. I would assume, however, the Federal court would grant a stay based on the facts of this case because Mrs. Schiavo would need to be alive in order for the court to make its determination. Nevertheless, this bill does not change current law under which a stay is discretionary.

Da da da... Dats All Folks!

Da da da... Dats All Folks!

That's also all for Frist's presidential ambitions. Unfortunately, Terri will die because of legislative idiots and left-wing judges.

[D-fendr]

Gee. There was actually one human being found on that court. In the minority of course.

The Judicial Branch should be proud. They have convinced themselves of objectively ruling on the law. They can join the doctors who pride themselves on successful operations where the patient died.

[thoughtomator]

Judge Wilson's dissent leaves some hope.

Pray for her!

MURDERING BASTARDS!!!!!

[onyx]

The one dissenter is a Clinton appointee, correct?

[Aussie Dasher]

How quickly can Congress get back to DC?

[thoughtomator]

Amazingly enough, yes.

[happinesswithoutpeace]

Are you expecting something different from SCOTUS?

[churchillbuff]

how do these three break down, by presidents who appointed them?

[expatguy]

It takes a lot of legal mumbo jumbo to justify starving a disabled woman to death.

People need to take note though:

None of this is FOR Terri. It is FOR those who want her dead.

They will walk away from a mountain of legal documents and say they did everything they possibly could to save Terri. When all they really had to do was feed her.

[D-fendr]

Yes, obviously the legislators intent was that Terri starve to death while the judges hear evidence and deliberate the case.

Only a judge who is looking for an excuse would try this one.

[thoughtomator]

At this point I don't know what to expect. I never expected our justice system would permit such an outrageous travesty. All I have left to contribute here is hope, and to try and make some sense out of all of this.

2 Clinton appointees, 1 Bush.
Only 1 Clinton dissented.
Go figure.

[thoughtomator]

Majority opinion had one appointed by Bush Sr. (9/92) and one by Clinton (1997). Dissenter was a Clinton appointee, 1999.
