Terri Schiavo (part 2).

Current mood: still PISSED OFF ! ! !

I have to make this quick because my wife is waiting for me to come to bed. OK - I have to start by reiterating the idea that our Congress is filled with a bunch of feeble-minded POLITICIANS with their heads so far up their asses they could not tell you the time of day without having to run a series of opinion polls and check with the lobbyists first.

The Adjourned Congress reconvened on Sunday 03.20.05, solely to pass one specific piece of legislation - allowing for Terri's case to be brought before the Federal courts. It has been limited to the Florida State's system prior. S. 686, "For the relief of the parents of Theresa Marie Schiavo," [Click Here for Info on this Bullshit Bill], was presented by the Senate to the House at 9:02 PM Sunday night.

This is a GROSS abuse of Legislative power mandated by 230 years of Government AND our Constitution. It is not bad enough the Neo-Con Majority brought this bill, but an overwhelming 47 Demos voted for it v. 53 who voted against. Give me a Goddamned break. Ordained and established to protect the People of the United States. . . I don't freakin' think so.

As to my point last week about Terri being happier and more peaceful knowing she is nearing her last days - Her husband, Michael had ths to say, "There is no happy ending," he said on CNN's "Larry King Live" late Monday. "When Terri's wishes are carried out, it will be her wish. She will be at peace. She will be with the Lord."

Fortunately, and I pray this lasts - the new Judge - U.S. District Judge James Whittemore, did not immediately make a ruling after a two-hour hearing today, Monday, and gave no indication on when he might act on the request, brought by the schindlers. The following came from the AP:

["We are rushed and we are somewhat desperate," the parents' attorney, David Gibbs III, told the judge. "Terri may die as I speak." The attorney said that forcing Schiavo to die by starvation and dehydration would be "a mortal sin" under her Roman Catholic beliefs.

"It is a complete violation to her rights and to her religious liberty, to force her in a position of refusing nutrition," Gibbs said.

But the judge told Gibbs that he was not completely sold on the argument. "I think you'd be hard-pressed to convince me that you have a substantial likelihood" of the parents' lawsuit succeeding, said Whittemore, nominated by former President Clinton in 1999.]

God Bless Bill Clinton.
