what on earth is happening??? This gets me sooo riled!!
edit to update voting total: now at 21 yeas, I understand this is a 15 minute vote, so I guess the totals will continue to change, but one can see the trend, and I don't expect it to change. I guess, once again, the Dems are rolling over!!

22. yes, this can be found to be unconstitutional BUT |
|
it has to go into the judicial system (now the federal judicial system) to be found so. Tomorrow, both the parents and Michael Schiavo will file separate lawsuits about this. Schiavo will probably file to have the law declared unconstitutional, and the parents will file to have her feeding tube reinstated, while this works its way thru the federal court system. Probably, both cases will be decided by one federal judge. The first issue that will have to be decided is the constitutionality of this. So this will be the first hurdle. IF it makes it past this hurdle, ultimately it will wend its way to the Supreme Court.

41. my understanding is that one federal judge will be presented with both |
|
suits. First, he/she will have to decide the constitutionality of the law before the Schindler's case can proceed. If the judge says it is unconstitutional, the Schindler's case stops there. A lot of legal scholars are saying it could well be knocked down. We'll see... Guess tomorrow will be another day to see the judicial branch in action! Should be interesting...

10. how were the Repubs able to corral 104 of their own back into town |
|
to participate in this vote? Didn't they recess and leave town? Who paid for them to travel back to Washington? I certainly hope that wasn't my tax dollars at work paying for their travel expenses...

34. The puke vote I understand... |
|
they are corrupt. But 46 dems????
Who can possibly trust the democratic party now? What's the difference between the 2 parties? Almost 25% are voting to, in essence, infringe once again upon state's rights and to make law to benefit a private party. What is going on??????????

It was over 200 yea votes to 53 nay votes. Even if all the 40-whatever Dems voted nay, it still would have passed.
