**Exclusive Fri Mar 18 2005 00:50:07 ET** The Chairman of the Health, Education, Labor, and Pension (HELP) Committee, Mike Enzi (R-Wyoming) has requested Terri Schiavo to testify before his congressional committee, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. In so doing it triggers legal or statutory protections for the witness, among those protections is that nothing can be done to cause harm or death to this individual.

...and a lot of money. However, poor Michael is finding this a lot more expensive than he'd planned--much of the money he'd hoped to receive will be payed and/or owed to the real sharks in this case--the liars lawyers.

You're not afraid Terri will die. You're hoping she will. But you're wrong.

Now go away, troll. There are actually (ignorant) conservatives who agree with you on this one, so we don't need impostors.....

I actually think you have to prove the veracity of your statement also, not belabor those that question it. For them to prove you wrong, we need to know what you are basing that assertion on.

You are right about OJ.

Certainly as well-thought out as your comment. I merely answered in kind.

President Bush supports this poor woman getting further review of her situation.

The White House said if they pass a bill he'd sign it. I doubt that is going to happen.

In regard to "perfect murder", OJ may have gotten away with it, but MS will one up him by having the courts kill his wife. Less messy.

NO, that would MAKE someone die. I'm trying to illustrate the difference, which you obviously don't understand

*******

Let me illustrate some difference for you. And I'm an RN by the way so I do know what I'm talking about.

When my husband's brother was in the hospital dying of MS....quadriplegic, unable to breathe properly, lungs filling up with fluid, running constant fevers from infection that no antibiotic could bring down....we stopped the aggressive care (suctioning and bronchoscopies, etc.) that was keeping him going temporarily, but also torturing him and ultimately futile. We LET him die.

Terri is not sick. Starving her to death is to MAKE her die.

I was at a disability tech conference yesterday
and saw a device that an incapacitated person
can use by merely moving their eyes to letters
on a screen. There are phase and letter graphics
that I think Terri may be able to see - despite her
her impaired vision.

I comment on the post, and you make a personal attack and that's of equal value in your mind? That's rhetorical. No need to respond.

Both the president and his brother have demonstrated a desire to err on the side of life. I support them.

I think it will be passed.

Read the case studies. He's refused standard medical and dental care for Terri for years...she's had to have teeth pulled from the neglect.

There are dozens (literally!) of other reasons to suspect Schiavo.

"Different people have different opinions on matters such as this."

I agree. And I have to say, Boortz makes a very compelling argument. It's an extremely complicated issue.

I err toward life. But that's just me. Death is kind of permanent.

You called this a "circus." I suggested that if so, you might well be the "clown." In your mind, our prayers and hopes are like a "circus." In my mind, you've got it so wrong that you can only be the "clown." Note--I stopped myself before using far more inflammatory terms.

Someone is trying to explain to Boortz why nazis would agree with the death trolls. Hehehe!

This news just brought a flood of emotion out of me and I find myself setting here with tears pouring down my face!

I have to say, Thank you Jesus! Thank you God! Now I'm gonna go cry this out.
