Congress Announces Deal in Schiavo Case
As a deal in Congress was worked out to have federal courts decide Terri Schiavo's fate, emotions swelled outside the brain-damaged woman's hospice room Saturday, with protesters arrested after they symbolically tried to smuggle in bread and water on her second day without a feeding tube.
What do you think? Has Congress gone to far?

I don't like this. They're starving the woman to death. It's not even lethal injection, it's starvation. Ok people, for those of you who think it's nothing: your organs shut down, you go into renal (kidney) failure, then you have a heart attack after getting all dehydrated. The husband would just rather have his ex-wife die than divorce her. Her parents are willing to pay for her care, so what's the deal? This whole situation with her is very sad.
Oh yeah, Trey, forgot to say thank you for putting PhotoAirbrushing.com back on the front page! (That's how I got to this blog in the first place, from the front page.)
All right, last post - I promise!!
I'm disappointed that we've come to this. My dad says that this happens all the time at work with older patients whose families just want them dead for inheritance or because they're just tired of caring for them. So these older folks end up being like the Schiavo lady...it's horrible.
An Open Letter to Governor Jeb Bush
Dear Governor Bush,
It appears that you and only you can save Terri Schiavo from premeditated judicial murder.
Terri is dying a painful and inhumane death at this very moment. We, your voting base, implore you to immediately exercise your perfectly legal executive authority, take custody of Terri Schiavo, and have her feeding tube re-inserted.
There are now new and very credible allegations, accompanied by compelling evidence, which indicate that Michael Schiavo, Terri’s former husband who is common-law married to another woman and has children by her, may have been systematically abusing Terri since she became incapacitated.
You are perfectly within your legal and moral authority to order Florida’s Department of Children and Family Services to investigate these very credible allegations. No court has the authority to tell you not to do your job, and no voter who is likely to support you in any future election will fault you for doing what is right, honorable and legal.
We are very grateful and proud of you for what you’ve done so far in an effort to save Terri. Know this however; we are closely watching what you do from here.
Please recognize this as “tough love” Governor: If you do not take all action within your legal authority to save Terri, and she is successfully murdered by Michael Schiavo and an activist judiciary, then you yourself may experience the unfortunate pains of political euthanasia.
Sincerely,
The Voters
