Going to an electronic vote

this shit is RIDICULOUS

DeLay is an ASSHAT of monumental proportions.

SHE CAN'T FEEL ANYTHING YOU FUCKING IDIOT. Trying to use all that emotional language. Just USING her.

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!!

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.

quicker than Schiavo's.:(

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...

or both?

Delay makes me :puke:

LMAO!!!!

Highly doubtful. Chimpy McCokeSpoon needs his sleep.

Think the founding fathers have stopped spinning in their graves yet?

What a coutry this used to be - ah, the good 'ol days.

WHAT ON EARTH IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THEM?

Every Dem voting Yea is FALLING FOR IT and playing the repuke game.

23 now. I'd say "FUCK YOU, I had NOTHING to do with Terri's death and the republicans should have never made her a political football in the first place."

Should the president get involved in the Terri Schiavo matter?

a. Yes (33%)
13,013
b. No, leave it to the state of Florida (63%)
24,539
c. Not sure (4%)
1,656
39,208 total votes

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...

version of America. We just seen the consistution killed tonight:scared: :scared: :cry:

24 of them Dems.

Fucking ridiculous.

direction of her party. Congress is saying we know better than you and it is something they used to accuss Dems of doing. They this lady has woken up from her slumber!!!!!!!

and join Dems? She thought Repubs were supposed to be for state's rights, but it seems that more and more the Dems are for this...

correct. We're now a nation of men, absolute power and corruption.

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??????????

The way the Republicans are beating on this for votes, I personally wouldn't be shocked by this being the next step.

Sure hope he is right.

Wow your first post! Great to have you here...:hi:

poor Terri...

The Constitution doesn't mean a thing anymore.

March 21, 2005 the day America died.

The Constitution is in a presistent vegitative state.

So anyway - let's move on - we ignore them anyway.

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