The Terry Schiavo case

[TheEnforcer]

Anyone else as disgusted with congress on this issue as me? The political grandstanding on this case makes me want to puke. A heart surgeon looks at a vdeotape and decides to overule numerous legal and medical rulings by neurosurgeons (well it's only their specialty) and say she isn't brain dead. Couldn't have to do with a big pander to the religious right to help his bona fides with them when he runs for president in 2006 could it Senator Frist?

State rights were thorwn out the window and you see idiots parade in front of the camera that are trying to make the case that this case hasn't gotten the legal attention it's due even though it's been ongoing for years and been in front of 19 different jusges, 6 different courts, and been turned down for review on several occasions by the USSC.

There's a ton I could write about this case but in the interest of brevity I'll stop here.

I think they should stay out of her affairs and let the rest of her die. From what I've read she is brain dead with no awareness.

I would never want to exist like this.

Exactly. Nor could I watch a loved one live like this.

I agree this group of republicans in office have decided that we are a monarchy, and that they know best for all.

The thing that disgusts me most is the deal making that both parties are engaged in using this issue to play off of, it is VERY pathetic and disheartening as to how our system of government is operated

if trhis is allowed then the checks and balance system that has been the center piece backbone of protection of our rights in the USA will be coompletely eroded !

any decent citizen NO MATER what party will not allow this to take place and for new laws in the 11th hr to override years of court proceddings on this subject!

I was out at dinner last night and it was mentioned that the US puts up a great fight preventing the death of this poor woman that is brain dead but will happily execute a man with the mind of a child.

Someone accuse her of murder , get a Public defender , she isn't a celebrity , she'll be found guilty ;-))

one of the primary functions of any government is to protect its citizens. people should consider that fact while calling this a "personal issue", as it is much more complicated than that.

I know what a moderate or progressive Afghani must have felt as he watched the Taliban rise to power ...

Extremely poor precedent.......

There are already ways that this could have been thrown into federal courts without new legislation.

And how exactly would that help Bush amongst the viewers of Mullah Robertson?
