Convicted murderers under a sentence of death have a right to appeal that sentence to federal court. Unfortunately, Terry Schiavo is innocent of any crime and her death sentence was handed down by a civil court judge, so she has no such right of appeal.

Doesn't anything about this sound wrong to you? A death sentence handed down to an unarguably innocent person doesn't bother you at all?

Florida courts ruled . . .

The Supreme Court of the United States upheld the lower court decisions . . .

Now, Congress is trying to bypass SCOTUS. Republicans are acting like Democrats. That is the problem.
