From MSNBC:
Bill Frist (R-Tenn.), a renowned heart surgeon before becoming Senate majority leader, went to the floor late Thursday night for the second time in 12 hours to argue that Florida doctors had erred in saying Terri Schiavo is in a "persistent vegetative state."
He watched a few family videos and now he knows better than a dozen court appointed neurologists. This guy has no principles.
Update: Congress to Reconvene to address Schiavo Issue
Here is the
story..
You have to really sink to a low level to sacrifice the principles of Hipocrates to pander for votes.
The thing is, they are still working on passing legislation in Congress.
"We're very disappointed by the Florida court's decision to allow Terri Schiavo's feeding tube to be removed. The House and Senate leadership are committed to reaching agreement on legislation that provides an opportunity to save Mrs. Schiavo's life. Now that the House and Senate have each passed different legislative remedies, the House and Senate Committees are working urgently together. We will be working through the weekend to resolve the differences and reach an effective solution that can clear our chambers and be signed by the President."
This can only be destructive legislation designed for political gain that will prove destructive to future patients in Schiavo's condition.
