The Schiavo issue

[Ghoulish Delight]

Actually it was 50 minus. 47 to be exact. With over 100 Dems not voting. And only 3 Dems present for the Senate voice vote. Believe my, I'm as disgusted at any spineless Dems who voted against their conscience for political reasons. But as has been mentioned, it was aggressive intervention by Jeb and his cronies that put them in that position to begin with. This case was decided in the courts 8 years ago. And for 8 years since, court after court has come to the same conclusion: She will not recover, and there is adequate reason to belive she requested not to be kept in a vegetative state (based on testimony of 3 individuals: her husband, her brother, and her sister-in-law). There has been no new evidence, no change in the opinions of the several medical experts who have examined her. All that's kept this going has been the concerted effort of activist politicians in power, using their positions to usurp the authority of the court systems.
