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

[FoxPro]

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.

It is likely that the USSC, which has already ruled on this matter once, will determine that Congress does not have the authority to overrule Florida courts.

No, I don't think so. They have rejected emergency appeals. Congress is now exercising constitutional authority - Article One Section Six ( From memory) gives the Congress authority to establish federal court jurisdiction.

That is all that is happening tonight.

And it is very important.

[MarMema]

Who?

[Captainpaintball]

I just called. I'm surprised I got through. I also got the impression that the person on the other end wasn't aware of the soundbite. Now he knows. Whether he does anything about it is another story.

[AmericanInTokyo]

That was my point!

3 ambulances at hospice, msnbc speculates they are taking terri to hospital to get new feeding tube. All fed judges in Fla onn call and appellate judges in Atlanta standing by.

I think she will get it back, amazing.

Are yall seeiing this on tv right now?

Can I get a recent update on that, without having to read through hundreds of posts to catch up? I've been away all evening and missed this.

[SouthernFreebird]

LOL, I hear ya.

[MarMema]

Hurray for you!!

[Jrabbit]

Have respect! He just said he felt a tear.....I think he's flirting with the homeless woman from Indiana

I'm in school studying law and have tons of homework, but I am having alot of trouble paying attention to it when I am trying to watch the vote and keep up with this board, PLUS I have only had 3 hours of sleep, but the adrenalin rush from all this is keeping me awake. I will wait it out....but it would be nice if the dims would stop their grandstanding, who cares about it, they have just about sealed their party's fate with what they have said today.

Where's Ward Churchill when we need him? These Democrats really are a bunch of "Little Eichmans"

chris9soccer has fallen asleep in his bed smoking his bong and his 'puter is on auto-reply.

[BCrago66]

It's the Civil Rights legacy that gave the Democratic Party residual moral force. With the abandonment of the Civil Rights of the diabled tonight in favor of a grotesque lust to kill, we have the death-knell of that party.

[MNJohnnie]

You really might want to be more careful with slinging about the Nazi references. She's Jewish.

So what? She, of all people, should be highly sensitive to the terrible precedence she is setting. If she doesn't like the Nazi analogy, maybe she should change her actions

[PhiKapMom]

This guy from Maryland may put me to sleep yet!

[Petronski]

Sinkspur would shoot his own mother if his state courts told him to.

Ouch.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

How is this guy's heart still beating?

[DarthVader]

Hitler was 1/2 Jewish himself.

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

When a law is unjust or against natural law (i.e., results in the starvation of a disabled woman), we are under no obligation to recognize or follow it.

We have any number of such laws on the books at the current time according to Catholic moral and social teaching. Where have you been for the last 40 years?

[MarMema]

Never mind. Hoyer is just brain dead after all. He doesn't seem to know what he is saying.

[pollywog]

I think someone said they were showing Ambulances arriving at the hospice on MSNBC. Something like three of them.
