More grist for the mill. I don't have a clue what the below actually means substantively or procedurally. This was from the Washington Post, and similar commentary was in the NY Times.

"Rep. James Sensenbrenner, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said the legislation would move the case to federal court where a judge would determine who has the legal right to decide the question of nutrition and hydration for Schiavo and whether they can be terminated."

All due respect to James Sensenbrenner, but the answer is easy.....

A SPOUSE is always the legal authority, & next of kin.
