US ; Florida Woman's Husband Attacks Congress Intervention:
2 Hour,33 minutes Ago
[US News] PINELLAS PARK, Fla. - As a severely brain-damaged Florida woman lay dying on Saturday, the husband who has long fought for her right to die assailed Republican congressmen for their last-minute attempts to keep her alive.
Michael Schiavo spoke out against the maneuvers in Washington a day after doctors followed a court order and removed the feeding tube that has kept Terri Schiavo alive for the last 15 years.
"They should be ashamed of themselves," he said in an interview with the CBS "Early Show." "Leave my wife alone. Leave me alone."
Intervening in the highly public right-to-die case, Republican congressional leaders sought in recent days to block the court order and keep the tube in place by subpoenaing Terri Schiavo to appear before hearings and committees later in the month. The move would have granted her protection as a witness in a congressional inquiry.
But the Florida state judge in the case, Circuit Judge George Greer, rebuffed the effort and said his order for the tube to be removed on Friday should go ahead.
Schiavo has been fed through a stomach tube since a heart attack starved her brain of oxygen in 1990, leaving her in what the courts declared was a permanent vegetative state. The dispute between Terri Schiavo's husband and her parents, who believe she should be kept alive, galvanized activists on all sides of the right-to-die issue.
Lying at the Woodside Hospice in Pinellas Park, Florida, Terri Schiavo, 41, was expected to survive for up to two weeks without the feeding tube.

[US News] "I have a sense of relief for Terri," Michael Schiavo told CNN. "I feel that this is her time. This is going to work for Terri. She's going to finally be at peace."
LAST-MINUTE APPEALS
Congressional lawyers appealed Greer's decision before the Florida Supreme Court, which rejected it. Later Friday, the House Committee on Government Reform made an emergency appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court to have Schiavo's feeding tube reinserted, but that application was denied.
House and Senate Republican leaders vowed to work through the weekend on new legislation to keep Schiavo alive.
