Death doesn't quell political battle over Schiavo case

WASHINGTON (AP) -- In death as much as in life, political controversy surrounds Terri Schiavo.

"The actions on the part of the Florida court and the U.S. Supreme Court are unconscionable," Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pennsylvania, said Thursday, attacking judges who repeatedly had refused to order tube-fed nourishment restored to the brain-damaged woman.

"This loss happened because our legal system did not protect the people who need protection most, and that will change," House Majority Leader Tom DeLay added in a statement issued hours after Schiavo's death at a Florida hospice.

"The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior," said the Texan. DeLay was a driving force behind legislation Congress passed two weeks ago that gave federal courts jurisdiction in an attempt to save Schiavo's life.

1. Someone needs to convict DeLay without delay and silence him forever.

2. Teddy's responses:

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy took exception.

"I'm not sure what Mr. DeLay meant when he said 'the time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior,"' the Massachusetts Democrat said in a written statement. "But at a time when emotions are running high, Mr. DeLay needs to make clear that he is not advocating violence against anyone."


In separate remarks at a courthouse dedication in Massachusetts, Kennedy said Schiavo's case underscored the need for an independent federal judiciary. He said the decision by the GOP-controlled Congress to intervene in her case was part of a pattern that includes talk of changing Senate rules to override Democratic opposition to President Bush's judicial appointments



Between Kennedy & Lautenburg, DeLay's going to suffer over this one!
