Can the legislature act quickly enough to change the law?

Schiavo's family have had 13 years to appeal to them to do so. Since they have not, I have to assume that they never wanted to in the first place. And its a little late now.

Your assumption is a bit of a stretch I think.

I have to assume that had they been able to see a full thirteen years into the future and divined that strictly going the court route was going to prove so fruitless, they might have thought to explore a few other avenues.

Oh, God, you're back. Enough already.....please, it's painful to watch you. What is wrong with you?

Schiavo's family have had 13 years to appeal [to the legislature to change the laws}. Since they have not, I have to assume that they never wanted to in the first place. And its a little late now.

But, who would have thought this would be happening in America, the same country which helped handle the Nuermbug trials?

I have to admit the energy and determination of the pro-death Juggernaut has taken me by surprise, too.

We have been asleep.

But now we are awake and this just might be the next major civil rights issue that America will face.

Jeb Bush should declare this abuse of the disabled to be a major civil rights issue and he should "lead the charge."

Halfway measures will go nowhere.
