By "Let her die" you mean "Kill her", right?

You could just remove her from life support, then you wouldn't be doing any action to specifically kill her.

The GOP has certainly shown that just like the Democrats, they pay lip service to the concept of Federalism only when it suits them.  The only possible justification for what they've done is to assume that the courts of the State of Florida are incompetent. Given what happened in the 2000 elections, I can understand why the GOP might be tempted to think that about Florida courts, but I can’t agree with that assessment.

State's rights is a phony issue. It only seems to exist when it helps conservatives.

Nice work jfraud.  This is truly the Republican belief.

Funny how state's rights doesn't apply to California environmental or medical pot laws.

The pot law violated Federal statutes on narcotics!

So a simple federal law is all that it takes to ignore state's rights? I say we pass a simple federal law so that every state has to give their electors to the popular vote winner.

Yes, Federal statute is superior to state statute.  Its called the Supremecy Doctrine.  The opposing doctrine is the Doctrine of Nullification, which has been rejected and discredited for almost 200 years.

So you oppose state's rights as an issue?

What I oppose the most about the Congressional intervention is the giant waste of time on a woman who is a compete vegtable, rather than focusing on skyrocketing deficits, health care costs, war for the wrong reasons in Iraq, genocide in the Sudan, the environment, or any number of other important issues. Instead they are wasting time on this crap to distract people from the real issues, and to keep the right-wing "pro-life" (does not apply to the death penalty, Iraqis, or those with no health care coverage) base happy.

Temporary links don't work. Here's the full text of the bill. What a joke. It applies only to Theresa Marie Schiavo.

It's pretty sad that Jeb Bush actually sent in state police to seize her before realizing that the local police and hospital would resist, so he called them off.
