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?

So far, the courts are STILL backing the husband on this case. The parents are trying to get the Supreme Court to hear it again, but I'm thinking that won't happen. The result will be that Terri finally gets to die, the parents may file some sort of civil suit (if they can) and this whole thing could backfire on the scummy neocon rightwing bastards.
