How can Congress select an existing case which has already been decided in the states courts and then confer Jurisdiction on the Federal Courts and tell the court to review the case de novo? That process is a denial of "due process" and "equal protection of the laws" for Mr. Schiavo.

I'll go with Phillips here. What is Congress doing interfering in the decision of a judicial process and making its decision applicable ex post facto? That is a violation of of a specific clause of the Constitution. Te court s had already decided that the husbands decision stood. Show me a poll where 84% personally would take the option to die with "dignity" while starving to death. If that is the only option available, then it needs more work, again politically. I won't argue that. As the law currently stands, ending her life quickly and painlessly with an OD of painkillers is murder. Starving her to death isn't. Huh? The law is an ass.
