My personal feeling on the issue is that Congress has no constitutional authority to issue the subpoenas in this case. It was a cowards way out. In 1974, Congress should have legislatively defined when a life begins and ends. However, once the subpoenas are issued, they have force of law and since they are issued by Congress, it becomes a federal matter. It is up to Michael Schiavo to file a motion in federal court to quash the subpoena. (And I don't know if you can quash a legislative subpoena.) This hasn't been done.
Well, I guarantee you, it'll be attempted in this case!
Thanks yall! I'm taking a break for a bit.
