It's hard to believe that the US Congress had to come back from their Easter recess, to attend an emergency session to meddle in the Terri Schiavo affair!!
Even GWB signed the exec order to re-install the feeding tubes in Ms Schiavo, the brain dead woman being kept alive for years by mechanical means. One should think "they" all would have had other things to do then meddle in private affairs!!! :guitarist

Agreed

Are they sure she is brain dead? From the pictures we've seen over here, she's sitting in a wheelchair, awake! They just describe it as severe brain damage.
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with this one. What happened to her?

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (March 21) -- A U.S. federal judge ordered a hearing on Monday afternoon to consider a request to have feeding resumed for Terri Schiavo, the severely brain-damaged Florida woman at the heart of a politically charged right-to-die case.
U.S. District Judge James Whittemore announced the 3 p.m. hearing hours after a lawyer for Schiavo's parents filed a request with the court in Tampa, Florida, for the resumption of feeding for the 41-year-old woman, whose feeding tube was removed on a Florida state court's order on Friday.
That request and a lawsuit on the case were filed in the early hours of Monday after the U.S. Congress rushed through special legislation to get the case into federal courts.
State courts have declared that Schiavo has been in a persistent vegetative state since suffering a heart attack in 1990 and have supported her husband's stance that she would not have wanted to live in that condition
The fate of Schiavo moved back into the courts Monday after President Bush signed emergency legislation aimed at prolonging her life.
Bush signed the legislation at 1:11 a.m. after extraordinary intervention by lawmakers that drew the U.S. Congress back from Easter recess and into a bitter family dispute as it tried to circumvent years of state court rulings.
David Gibbs, a lawyer for Schiavo's parents, filed a lawsuit and a request for an order to have her feeding tube reinserted with a federal court in Florida shortly after the law was signed. The feeding tube was removed from the 41-year-old woman on Friday under a state court order.
The papers were filed at the U.S. District Court in Tampa, Florida, where court officials had kept the courthouse open. There was no immediate word on when a judge would make a decision in the highly charged case.
An ambulance was standing by to take Schiavo from a hospice in Pinellas Park, Florida, in preparation for a judge's order for feeding to resume.

After seeing all the media-coverage about re-installing the feeding tubes in Ms Schiavo, (the brain dead woman being kept alive since 1990 by mechanical means) Congress & GWB meddled (unsuccessfully) in this private affair to re-install the tubes!!!
RE-INSTALL THE TUBES OR LEAVE THEM OUT? HOW WOULD YOU VOTE ON THIS ISSUE,
