‘Grotesque’ or life-saving drama at the Capitol?
Extraordinary Sunday session raises political questions


Rep. Rush Holt, D- N.J., who decried Sunday’s session as “grotesque,” took a shot at Rep. Dave Weldon, R- Fla., and at Frist, both of whom are doctors, neither of whom has examined Schiavo, but both of whom have expressed their opinion that Schiavo is not in a persistent vegetative state.

“They question the medical testimony,” Holt huffed. “I wouldn’t presume to say what state medical licensing boards should do with such doctors, but I can tell you most Americans would not want to go to those doctors if that is the way they practice medicine.”

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D- Fla., who opposed the Schiavo bill, blasted GOP leaders as “particularly hypocritical” because they extol the sanctity of marriage and yet “insert themselves in between a husband and a wife.”

When a reporter queried House Majority Leader Tom DeLay Saturday about that point, he replied, “The sanctity of life overshadows the sanctity of marriage. I don’t know what transpired between Terri and her husband. All I know is Terri is alive…. Unless she has specifically written instructions in her hand, with her signature, I don’t care what her husband says.”

3. I thought Christians believed in the afterlife?

Wouldn't Terri be better off in heaven? Why do they want to hang on to her and make her stay here? In her condition, this seems so cruel. I wouldn't do this to my pet cat. Why would I want any human to suffer in this way?
