The GOP did not only mislead the American people, they misled the Schindler family.
Early Monday morning, after President Bush signed the Schiavo bill, Bob Schindler was positively beaming in front of the television cameras. He said he walked into his daughter's hospice room and told her, 'We had to wake the President up to save your life.'
(Majority Report)
But Tom DeLay nor "Dr." Bill Frist told the Schindler's that the legislation they rushed to pass simply move the debate to the federal courts. It did not order the re-insertion of the feeding tube.

The federal courts are not overruling the legislation, they are simply ruling that the tube should not be reinserted.
The Schindlers and the American people think that the GOP pushed legislation that would foce the Hospis to reinsert the feeding tube but that is not within their power. They have no problem allowing people to think that they did but it is not the case.
If the Schindlers were told this then maybe they wouldn't have been so happy Monday morning.
'If Congress meant to give the federal courts the power to let her die...' says the Schindler's filing, then passing the law 'would be little more than a cruel hoax.'
