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 dont want to be known as the party that killed Terri.
This is American history happening before your eyes.
PA Pitts is speaking and he is good too.Give her to her Mom and Dad.Barney Franks should take Terri's place.
Do we have any idea how many representative are present?....DO we have quorum yet?
I find it nothing less than amazing that what started out as a small story in FreeRepublic just a few years back has now turned into a quite serious debate in the House of Representatives on Palm Sunday evening.
It's nearly metaphysical!
Bravo, Rep. Pitts!
And now back to the spitting poodle. It's really great that he's the point man/woman for the dims tonight!
Yes, the right-to-life voters in the Republican Party, and I am one, are taking names tonight. This does clarify who is worthy to succeed Pres. Bush.
Barney Frank (DEATH-Massachusetts) now posturing.
Tell more. I am sticking with the debate.

Basically if anyone connected disputes your advance directive, it goes to Federal court.

Very good point or if she were gay, you can bet old Barney Frank would be leading the fight to save her.
Because she is a white woman it is okay to kill her is the way it looks to me.
Selective tyranny.
How..."creative".
I keep hearing them say it's a personal,intimate family matter, also.
This guy from Alabama is doing great.
Well then I hope the foreigners understand that the true American fights for the innocent.
