In March, 2005 Donohue sent out a number of releases on the Terri Schiavo case, including a call for Florida "lawmakers [to] quickly pass a Medicaid reform bill that has a rider allowing food and water for Terri Schiavo." Donohue's appeal came the same day a Florida judge ordered the removal of Schiavo's feeding tube.
In September, 2005 Donohue weighed in heavily on how he thought Congress should allocate aid money following Hurricane Katrina: by dumping FEMA and giving the money to churches. Federal aid was an immediate legislative concern following Hurricane Katrina.
Donohue launched repeated, full-throated defenses of Supreme Court nominee John Roberts, a Catholic. Not only did Donohue try to set the terms for questions posed to Roberts by the Senate, but he tried to determine Robert's answers for him.

The New South Wales Government will introduce new guidelines so that a person does not have to be declared brain dead before transplant doctors can use their organs.
Health Minister John Hatzistergos says the new guidelines will support organ donation after the heart and circulation has stopped, and consent has been given from the family.
He says it could increase the availability of organs for transplants.
He says when the heart and circulation have stopped a person is dead.
"We're talking about cardiac death here," he said.
"A patient has to have died, we're talking about organs being able to be used for retrieval purposes, that's what we're talking about and what we're talking about is at what stage can a patient's organs - is it appropriate to use those those organs - and what this is talking about is being able to use those organs where a person's heart and circulation have stopped," he said.

Mean kid, this one. He's so typical of intellectual flunkies, reaching for the IRS to punish adversaries he can't deal with in a debate.
