Congress agrees on Schiavo bill
http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/03/19/schiavo.brain-damaged/index.html

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Members of Congress have agreed on a bipartisan bill aimed at saving Terri Schiavo's life, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said Saturday.

"We are confidant that this compromise addresses everyone's concerns," DeLay said. "We are confidant it will provide Mrs. Schiavo a clear and appropriate avenue for appeal in federal court.

"And most importantly we are confidant this compromise will restore nutrition and hydration to Mrs. Schiavo as long as that appeal endures."

The Senate will meet in extraordinary session Saturday and the House will meet Sunday afternoon.

President Bush is expected to sign the bill.

2. I'll just park myself here.
What I REALLY want to say involves more profanity than I usually use in a month.

3. They don't respect the sanctity of marriage...
They are, in fact, against the rights of spouses in traditional marriage.

Therefore Repubs...are enemies of marriage. And being against those rights that are a part of traditional marriage...they're immoral.


The CONServatives are immoral enemies of marriage!
