Terry Schiavo Case to Move to Federal Court
The House of Representatives today passed a bill on a voice vote to send the Terry Schiavo case to federal court:
Under the House legislation, a federal judge would decide whether withholding or withdrawing food, fluids or medical treatment from an incapacitated person violates the Constitution or U.S. law. It would apply only to incapacitated people who had not left directives dealing with being kept alive artificially and for whom a state judge had authorized the withholding of food or medical treatment.
