Ted, It violates the Constitution. How so? "At issue is the concept of "separation of powers," a cornerstone of the U.S. Constitution. By passing a law early Monday that allows a federal judge to review the right-to-die case of Terri Schiavo, 41, many experts say Congress is overstepping its bounds and is creating a dangerous precedent. Peter Rubin, a law professor at Georgetown University and an expert on constitutional law, said Congress' step is "unprecedented" and unconstitutional. He said it is the first time in history that Congress stepped in to deny a U.S. citizen her rights after the case was adjudicated. Rubin said the Schiavo law is "a threat to many individuals" and is especially unconstitutional because it deals with only one individual case." sci-tech-today.com
