They were reminded by the House members who led that vote, that the House could not possible pass the kind of bill the Senate brought to the Floor. Yet the Senate brought it to the floor anyway. Tutstar said Weldon's office said that two Senators reportedly messed up a deal to bring the House version to the Senate Floor, so I guess that is when they brought up this version. Which they knew would be stopped cold in the House, for procedural reasons, by members who oppose it. That is a House rule for bills that arise to benefit one person only. You tell me. I cannot believe what these people, supposedly trying to help Terri, have done. Did they think this would make them look better than doing nothing? Why? This is no better than nothing, and is almost worse than nothing. All the effort is wasted, and everyone's hopes are dashed.

Not dashed, just questioning. The Lord is still in charge and I believe this is not over yet!

You are seeing it the exact way that I did. Do we have a way of hounding the senators to get this done? Have they gone home for the next few weeks? Can Bush call a special session and get them to work this out?
