The case of Terri Schiavo - A Republican Fiasco

Medical findings clearly confirm that Congress and George W. Bush should never have tried to get the federal judiciary to overrule state court rulings.

"It's rare that you get such a total repudiation of one side," quoting Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass. He said it underlined that "all these politicians pretending to practice medicine, including one doctor pretending to practice medicine" — a reference to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist — were driven by "ideology and partisanship."

The autopsy results "only confirm the discontent of a lot of people with Congress and the president getting involved," said Andrew Kohut of the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press.

The autopsy "reaffirms that these kinds of heart-wrenching, end-of-life decisions should not be made in an emotionally charged political body like" Congress, said Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, D-Fla.
