What's happening in Fl. legislature with the right to die thing?
Friday is the date set by the judge to remove Terry's feeding tube. I haven't heard a thing today, and I would think Jeb is working his political butt off to get the vote in his favor.

Has anyone heard anything?

2. Schiavo case splits (Florida) House and Senate

TALLAHASSEE · A Senate committee on Tuesday significantly narrowed a proposal intended to keep Terri Schiavo alive and a key legislator said the change could stymie efforts to intervene before the brain-damaged woman's feeding tube is removed.

Rep. John Stargel, R-Lakeland, said it was unlikely the House would agree to the Senate's changes, which he called "unconstitutional."

It's the first public road block as legislators rushed to approve proposals that would prevent the removal of the brain-damaged woman's feeding tube on Friday.

3. Thanks! I sure hope the House holds firm. Something has to stop Jeb!
Jeb is almost worse than Shrub! I know it's only in Fl, but he's even more flagrant with the law.
