Lakey, I disagree with you here. We were applying pressure, but that special session had already been determined 2 or more weeks before. We didn't cause that session to happen, it was happening whether or not Terri's bill was brought up. In fact, they still covered their other material that they were planning to vote on anyway.
Don't you remember how frustrated we were to find out that there was a special session, but that they didn't bring up Terri's bill? It was hours before it made it into their discussion on Monday. In fact, IIRC they didn't even vote on it until Monday evening. We were getting the run-around all day from everybody's office assistants. The House passed their original version Monday night, and it went to the Senate on Tuesday. By then, the media had broken the story about what happened in the House, so the Senate felt compelled to discuss it. We didn't force anything on any legislators. We did compel them to act, but then so did the media storm around them. I still believe that what they did was constitutional for them to do. They were doing their jobs!
