Sadly, you are correct. If the Congress is unable to enforce it's own subpoenas requiring Terri Schiavo to appear as a witness, who in Hell thinks they'll be able to assert control over an obvious renegade judiciary?!?
If this govt is BY THE PEOPLE then we have to stop sitting here whining and complaining about what our representatives are or are not doing.
When was the last time we sent an email to our reps and told them what we think. Did we do it ONE TIME and because they didn't bow and scrape - did we give up?
We tend to be lazy and say, it's just politics and all politics is corrupt anyway - so why bother. How many of us have said that and have just given up.
I was so discouraged over this issue with Terri - but somehow it didn't keep me down because somewhere inside I've become madder and madder about it - and I'm ready to fight to get not only the judiciary back in it's proper place - but to get some laws in place which will prevent an "estranged" husband from disposing of a wife he no longer wants - and he is disposing of her because he doesn't want her to tell how badly he abused her.
But .. I'm not expecting it to change overnight - and anyone who is expecting that outcome is deceived.
Let's be honest. Congress wasn't really calling for testimony. Congress was issueing subpeonas with the sole intent that the feeding tube be reinserted. The subpeonas were a pretext for the real agenda, the reinsertion of the feeding tube.
