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.
Here goes Nadler - are you listening to this?
In earlier times they were much more blatant ~ nothing but white power websites for references and such.
To maintain an open site and maximize opportunities for debate and discussion you pay a price, and that's letting these guys in.
The same people who vote for John Kerry and Ted Kennedy...
Do you have amazing skills at remote medical diagnosis, so that you can safely contradict what Bill Frist and numerous other physicians in the Senate and House, as well as numerous other medical experts are saying?
Or are you just hearing what you want to hear and repeating it, which we might describe as 'thinking emotionally?'
My guess is the latter.
You just can't make this stuff up!! The Dinosaur Party just keeps digging.

Why make a permanent fatal decision without the benefit of modern technology, i.e. MRI and (more importantly) the PET scan. Why make a fatal decision without benefit of rehab. These things have been denied Terri. Do you really want to make medical decisions without using all the tools available? that is all that is being asked.
First it is not determined that she is a permanant vegetative state, second there was a girl who was hit by a driver in Kansas, IIRC, who was in a coma for 20 years and has recently awoken from it.
We should not feed those illusions. This bottomfeeder is a perfect euthanasia convert.
Oh, here comes the liquid cerebral cortex myth again!
I live in New England...that statement is unadulterated bull excrement!
Terri's brother implied on Hannity's radio show that Michael may have in fact caused Terri's brain damage in an attempt to murder her. The brother said that this possibility has never been properly investigated.
For all we know, this guy Michael may be a high-tech Scott Peterson.
"This is off-topic, but Nadler sure lost a lot of weight from when I last saw him in Impeachment days."
He had his stomach stapled or tied - heard him right before he had it done.
Drudge played a tape of Terri when the tube was pulled the other day. AWESOME
Nadler is saying all the in-laws said and testified she wanted to die.D-New York,strange she did not tell her sister and own brother.
This one NEEDS to miss a few meals.
The fact that a state judge found that Terri is in a permanent vegitative state doesn't mean she is in a permanent vegitative state. Human beings, including judges, are fallable. That's why we have federal habeas review with regard to death-penalty cases, and that's why we should have a similar federal review here. The stakes are high because life is important, anf the 14 Amendment protects life.
You would see that, Chris, if you were not so unbalanced and emotional on this issue. Maybe you should try to think about this issue, instead of merely expressing your feelings.
If Nadler ever collapses, Nadler looks like he would require using an old oil pipeline to keep enough calories flowing into that bloated body.
However, it would only come into effect when their is a dispute that winds up in court, not in all cases summarily.
In many cases, people choose their course without any contest from other family members. The courts would not get involved in those cases. It is only when a related party tries to overrule the spouse and takes it to court that the full range of judical review comes into play.

It isn't just the 'Rats wanting her dead. A larger number of Freepers than I would have ever expected want her dead, too. Of course, they use terms like "states rights", etc., but it comes down to one thing--if they win, Terri dies.
