This is an unprecedented session. The Congress is meeting to save one persons life (in real time).
The only reason the Democrats are agreeing to this is that they don’t want to be known as the party that killed Terri.
This is American history happening before your eyes.
One of the most important things to remember is that Terri is far from brain dead. She is a living and breathing human being that is receiving nutrition from a tube. There are millions right now receiving their only nutrition from a tube. Should we stop feeding them because it is difficult or inconvenient for their family? If this was a dog or cat or even a prisoner at Gitmo would we even be having this debate? May God have mercy on Terri Schindler and her family.
No sh!t... Must be hoping to put the assembly to sleep before the take the vote.
That one got me chuckling.
"I have no say in this matter."
The GOP congressmen do, and they are doing something about it.
He is there to lull everyone to sleep.
A de novo review is terrible? In THIS case? With so many facts in dispute?
That's a tremendously disappointing answer from you, Deacon.
Isn't that the disgusting truth!!! Look at the uproar on the dems side when the prisoners at Abu Garib had panties on their heads - that was torture. But denying an American woman food and water is letting her die with dignity. I'm sickened by these demonRATS.
Amen
Hoyer is as dynamic as a small ball of belly button lint. But just barely.
Oh NO!
He's putting the Congress to sleep, and they won't be able to vote!!!
O. M. G. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Excellent point.
Steny, it's the Constitution which gives Congress the power to set the jurisdiction of courts. Of course, we're flexible and should be.
Ok Thanks.
No, I think the vote will only take 30-40 minutes.
Michael Schiavo went postal, perhaps? (Or in my dreams, it's a diversionary tactic in a rescue mission.)
Okay Democrats put up or shut up! If you believe in state rights above all denounce Roe v Wade!!Otherwise I say you are FULL OF IT AND SEEKING DEATH FOR THE IMPAIRED AND INNOCENT!
RE your post 1568 - i hope to God none of these people ever end up in the position that Terri is.
If they do, I hope that their families will have faith in God enough to let them go and not keep them in that miserable state.
They got enough material here tonight to run on nothing else until the next election.
I guess the poor producers will be pulling an allnighter to get all the clips in.
