We've secretly replaced the Schindler's daughter...

Congress at work.

For the sake of posterity, I want to document the law Congress recently passed:

An Act for the relief of the parents of Theresa Marie Schiavo"
[notice it's not a relief for Theresa. Just her parents.]

"United States District Court for the Middle District of Forida shall have jurisdiction to hear, determine, and render judgement on a suit or claim by or on behalf of Theresa Marie Schiavo for the alleged violation of any right of Theresa Marie Schiavo under the Constitution or laws of the United States relating to the witholding or withdrawal of food fluids, or medical treatment necessary to sustain life."

Good grief. No big government there. Nope. None! Let's just disregard our judicial system because, gosh darn it, they just aren't telling us what conservatives want to hear. Since when did "Checks and Balances" ever mean "Bow to rabid special interest will"?

I am so angry that special treatment is being given to a vegetable. Why are these people so hot to defend beings that cannot disagree with them?

In reference to your last question. Don't you think it's a win-win scenario. No one to give an opinion or disagree or act like an idiot when you're trying to defend them? They are so willing to defend someone that cannot think or feel for them, perfect scenario. Easy win-win.

Not really. :-)

I don't agree it's the right thing.

I just think that if there is anyone that a lawyer or politicians want to defend it's the person/persons being born/or not yet born that cannot "defend" themselves. There isn't any way this person can come back later in history and put their names into the ground. There isn't any way for them to speak their minds.. It reminds of the right to life people. There aren't any complaints of service, not bitching or whining...It's seems to me it's a win-win. They can make the decisions for someone that cannot and not hear one complaint from that person.
