US House of Rep. in an Extraordinary Sunday night Session [Schiavo] (Bush Signs Schiavo bill)

[Soul Seeker]

I'm not surprised. Liberals would have laws on the books for dogs. Innocent disabled women? Nope. Send them to the gallows, deny them bread and water.

[Christian4Bush]

Notice who you call when you need something done...the "Hammer", Tom Delay. What a country we would have if just half the so-called "conservatives" had his brains and guts!

And a "pair" below the waistline...

Against. But, the Florida Legislature had a chance to act on changing the law, which is where this ought to be legislated.

Instead, the Congress decides to completely ignore everything that's happened in Florida, and order a de novo review of all facts and figures.

This is a terrible precedent to set, especially in the area of family law.

Either we're a nation of laws, or we're not.

If some senior can't afford his life-saving medicine, and the state of Florida won't give it to him, is Congress going to order a pharmacy to provide it?

Re: Delay. Yeah, you know he's effective when the dems are trying so hard to get rid of him!

[LegalEagle61]

Sensenbrenner is saying that this bill will grant Terri a new TRIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This bill is VITAL!

[Humal]

"what happens if after the President signs the bill, a dem goes to a federal judge to get a restraining order until the constitutionality of this bill can be determined?"

If this has been asked, I haven't seen it. Hopefully, they won't be able to do this. Or if they do, at least put back the feeding tube until it can be decided. The thoughts of this bill going before a judge is frightening.

I don't think so. Voice vote is allowed only under unanimous consent, but Dems like Wexler objected. So we're going to know who voted which way (and who didn't show up.)

[savedbygrace]

It's the 2/3 rule that concerns me.

[Lancey Howard]

Interesting post. BUMP!

Ask a Dem: "When did promoting Democracy and Freedom in the World become a Bad Thing


Answer. Whenever a Republican advocates it. See to a Dim it isn't about the value of an idea, it is about who purposed the idea.

The other two ambulances are for her parents?

[jonrick46]

Wait until Rush, Sean and Michael start airing this compost on their radio shows tomorrow. There is going to be a whole lot of whoop as$$ going down on the talk shows! This is the way those DmonRATS will sound as the Devil flexes his pitchfork for a little meat tenderizing session.

[curiosity]

Let's have some Federal Legislation on animal cruelty, too.

Sorry, Sink, but the 14th Amendment only covers persons.

[JanetteS]

Hey! Hey! Hey! I live in Florida! Not all of us are transplanted liberal yankees with no common sense!

[RPTMS]

When you're standing before the Lord and he asks you why you let an innocent woman starve to death without making any effort to save her, just say it was all about "states rights." I'm sure he'll understand.

[sinkspur]

Congress can act to relieve a single person, they do it all the time and always have.

Actually, Congress has provided relief to a single person one other time.

That relief was found unconstitutional.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Maybe the other two are for Mikey and Jody when they have heart attacks.

[don-o]

you have a good opportunity to evangelize here Deacon. Some reps quoted Pope John Paul II. Why dont you offer up some Church statements and or teaching to all here?

Paging sinkspur.

[DBeers]

In Florida, sustenance and hydration are considered extraordinary means of prolonging life.

Are you advocating Terri's death or just debating against errant laws of man?

[Raycpa]

but I think I just heard the lowest the dems. have yet gone

Never ever predict this. Its a fools bet.
