Shame on You

They're first told that they need to stay out of it because he's doing everything, and then to stay out of it because he's in charge? No, I'm not reasonable about this. This court outcome sucks, and not for any "legal" reason.
To feel this way, you have to ignore that her husband thinks she would have wanted the tube to be pulled in these circumstances. You are sacrificing her interests, and his, for those of the parents.

"About them"? Nothing. But maybe acknowledge, throughout your anti-Repub diatribes in this saga, the fact that it appears bipartisan.
Give me a break. Democrats did not make this a statewide or national political issue. Republicans did. Bill Frist is running for President. Tom DeLay is running from his ethical problems. We all know what's going on here, and the fact that some Dems voted the way they did is not particularly material. They can answer for their votes, but the GOP has to answer for exploiting the tragedy and foisting it on the national stage.
