WASHINGTON – Using emergency powers, congressional leaders set the stage Saturday for the House and Senate to pass legislation today aimed at restoring Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube.
Meanwhile, the White House announced late Saturday that President Bush will make return to Washington from his Crawford, Tex., ranch so that he can be available as Congress considers the case in a special Palm Sunday session.
“The president intends to sign legislation as quickly as possible once it is passed,” spokesman Scott McClellan said, emphasizing that time was critical.
The unprecedented congressional action, which involved a series of arcane legislative maneuvers, came hours after Mary Schindler pleaded with politicians to save the life of her severely brain damaged 41-year-old daughter.Republican leaders announced they had reached an agreement on a bill that would allow Schiavo’s case to be reviewed by federal courts and that could restore her feeding tube as early as Monday. The bill only applies to Schiavo’s case.
House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said of Terri’s case, “We should investigate every avenue before we take the life of a living human being, that’s the very least we can do for her.”
Rob:
Somebody needs to determine what vegetable you are. Jeesh. Give it a rest already. Sometimes I think you and minnie are the same person.
Ya know Julie I am 99.8% sure Rancid and Brian are the same person (the names go together so well) and the bride (done that) suggests that Rob and Brian are the same person. I do beleive you could be right that minnie is the same person as well.
Thinking about it a great many of those out to kill, or to use Brians terminology, dignify TS-S on this blog may be Rancid-Brian-Minnie-Phil-Infopro-Expialidocious. If so it would do a great deal to explain the contention that 98% of the country along with the vast majority of the rest of the world stands behind him, her, them and it as undoubtedly this fact was established by extensive polling done within the collective cranium of the above party/parties.
If I were one or more of them though I would be rather careful though as given what he,she they and them have indicated about the minority dessentors with in said head they sound like a dangerious lot.
Bri, Please in the name of humanity. Chase those in your head that disagree with the rest of you to the frontal lobe and find a qualified drycleaner to remove that part of your brain.
Okay…
Doesn’t anyone see the REAL point to the governments involvement in Schiavo case?
Can’t you see that THE ONLY REASON our government is involved is because they are preparing for THE PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT?
It’s time to revolt my friends. Bush and his cronies are ruining our country and taking our freedoms in the name of preserving freedom for themselves…
“They have stolen our peace, so we’ll make our own pie!”
Also, ROB…”pinko”
Your clear disgust for ‘pinkos’ is the same mentality that was used to train hundreds of thousands of Latin American soldiers (i.e. Manuel Noriega, you know the dictator of Panama) to kill their own people…mind you, IT WAS YOUR TAX DOLLARS THAT PAID FOR THEIR TRAINING AT FT. BENING!!!
Money is NOT wasted when it helps people, it is wasted when you train people to murder. It’s wasted in this War, it’s wasted decyphering the wishes of a brain dead woman…grrrr…
Doctors treating geriatric patients often consider ‘quality of life’. For Terry, there is no quality of life! No choices, walking, talking, communicating, nothing at all. Geez, even if I wasn’t a complete vegetable inside my head, I hope someone would let me die so I could be released from the solitary confinement of my own body.
If it happens to me, I hope my ex husband is even more relentless than Michael in getting me into the ground.
