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.

"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. "

I asked if that bothered you at all, and you did not respond to the question. I'll take that as a great big NO, IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME AT ALL.

Thank you for your (non)response.

In light of Article III, where is the bypass?

BTW, George Bush signed it, are you going to take his heart-of-gold out of your tagline?

Uh, no...The Supreme Court refused to hear the case due to lack of jurisdicition. The Congress merely assigned jurisdiction to the federal courts, which is their Constitutional right.
