I caught this post regarding the Schiavo case. March 18, 2005 Mr. President-- Recall Congress, Now "So Proud To Be a Republican:" The Republican controlled House passed a bill on Wednesday night that would have saved Terri Schiavo's life. But the Republican controlled Senate wouldn't pass it. The Republican controlled Senate instead passed its own narrower bill at 5:35 pm tonight, but it couldn't become a law because, 75 minutes earlier, the Republican controlled House decided, without waiting for the Senate vote, to adjourn for its vacation for Easter.Pretty cool, huh? Does this feel like a fix to anyone else? Like conservative Congressmen maybe wanted to appear to be "trying to do something," and yet, awww shucks, they just couldn't act in time? These jackasses make $150,000+ on our dime. They can work a fucking Friday morning to save a life. posted by Ace at 03:39 AM ace.mu.nu
