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. Easter, of course, is the day we mark because the Savior of the World, without even taking a recess, sacrificed Himself to redeem us. I hope our congress enjoys their recess. Meanwhile, Terri Schiavo’s torture begins tomorrow at 1pm.
