ping to the sweetie!
This makes me sick! What else can I say!
My comment is this:
Congressional subpoenas were issued, and blatantly defied by all of their targets without consequence.
May I, too, defy a Congressional subpoena if I receive one?
Or will you, Senator, really MEAN IT if you subpoena me on a DIFFERENT issue, and hold me in contempt if I ridicule the subpoena before the press and refuse to comply?
What Congress did was pure show.
Subpoenas were defied without consequence.
Therefore, Congress didn't mean it, and gets zero credit for having done anything at all.
With the number of bizarre beliefs now out there vis a vis negative population growth, eugenics and things of this nature, there needs to be a major rethink about "the right to die," about "reproductive choice" and about the whole notion that "liberty" somehow includes some fairly strange (in historical context of God fearing people) acts. Things that have really bothered me at a fairly deep level:
* This case
* Dr. Death
* The Law in Oregon
* The Law in the Netherlands
* The odd "couple" of New Age, 1960s radicalism and the death culture
* Some of the particular eugenics oriented folks involved in "defending" Michael Shiavo.
So, what's being done about the fact that the courts blew Congress off?
Everything was fine in that letter EXCEPT the last sentences:
>>>Using the most advanced medical technology to perform an autopsy. Medical examiners have concluded Terri Schiavo suffered from irreversible brain damage at the time of her death. We must respect here memory.”>>>
So what is Sen. Frist saying? That since she had irreversible brain damage it was alright to murder her? She was NOT on any machines. She could, and did, sustain life without any medical devices. All she needed was food and water. And they had a guard at the foot of her bed to make sure no one gave her that.
BTW - Did you know his family runs a hospital that does "for profit" abortions? So what will happen when they can do "for profit" starvations?
here=her
I can't remember what show, or what dem was spouting off bragging that they had served the greater good of the public by forcing the watering down of that bill. The bill that could have saved Terri.
I saw it some time in the last two or three weeks. I remember thinking what an arse the rat dem was to be proud of watering down a bill that could have saved a life.
Up until that time I had no idea that the bill they passed had been watered down. I still wonder, watered down from what?
Are those mistakes yours, or his?
Shallow meaningless words. Yada yada yada.
Her wishes were fix it; don't kill me.

Terri was alert and aware of her surroundings and had relationships with her family and with nurses (who were fired I might add). One of Terri's nurses pre-Hospice lives near me. She was very upset that Terri was starved to death because she knew that Terri wasn't PVS.
Frist's reply doesn't surprise me a bit. He's trying to get closer to the Bushes.
"Stay outta da bushes." JJ
Ping!
To quote Elvis, what we needed was "A little less conversation and a little more action..."
The failure of the Congress, AND the executive branches of government in Tallahassee Florida *and* at the federal level (I mean the White House and the President) to stand up to the obscene power grab that resulted from the judicial homicide committed by renegade rogue judges, will haunt us until there is (hopefully) a Second American Revolution in which our original Constitution is restored, and our Republic is re-established.
Be not fooled, we are not ruled by our elected officials, our fates are in the hands of black robed dictators who answer to NO-ONE.
