Florida lawmakers have fired the latest salvo in the
battle to save Terri Schiavo:
House and Senate legislators reached a deal Monday on a bill designed to prevent Terri Schiavo's death, as the Florida Legislature, for the second time in less than two years, moved to intervene in the internationally watched case.
Key members in both chambers said they expected the bill to come up for a vote before Friday, the day the severely brain-damaged woman's life-sustaining feeding tube is scheduled to be removed.
But Bruce Winick, a constitutional law professor at the University of Miami, disagreed.
"It amounts to another legislative interference with an ongoing court case, which was the issue the Supreme Court raised last time," he said.
Oh, that pesky will of the people! How dare it presume to interfere with the almighty judiciary? Welcome to Bizarro World, folks.
