One non-vote that is of concern is his inability to throw on a pair of pants and go vote for the Terri Schiavo Incapacitated Persons Protection Bill. Find the link yourself, it's true.

That ain't how it works, Registered, and you know better. Those who make the assertion have the responsibility to back it up.

Sure, I can post the backup information, but it won't sway your already hardened position.

Bill Number: S 686 Date: 03/21/2005 Sponsor:Sen Frist, William H. [TN]

Roll Call Number: 090 Bill Passed (House) How members voted

Representative Duncan L. Hunter did not vote.

Official Title of Legislation:

S 686: A bill to provide for the relief of the parents of Theresa Marie Schiavo.

Vote to pass a bill that would allow the parents of Theresa Maria Schiavo 30 days to bring her case to federal court.

Highlights:

- Grants jurisdiction to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida to hear, determine, and render judgment on any claim relating to the alleged violation of any right of Theresa Marie Schiavo

- Instructs the District Court to determine “de novo” any claim relating to the alleged violation of any right of Theresa Marie Schiavo, which means the Court should consider the merits of the claim without reference to the issues previously raised, considered, or decided in prior state court proceedings

- Specifies that nothing in the Act confers additional jurisdiction on any court to consider the issue of assisted suicide or state laws regarding assisted suicide

- Expresses the sense of Congress that the 109th Congress should consider policies regarding the status and legal rights of incapacitated individuals who are incapable of making decisions concerning the provision, withholding, or withdrawal of foods, fluid, or medical care

Again, THE LAZY DUNCAN HUNTER COULDN'T MUSTER A VERY IMPORTANT PRO-LIFE VOTE!!!
