VIA ATRIOS, several links to articles about Terri Schiavo. First, a post from Hullabaloo about all the ways in which the Bush administration and the Republican leadership does not care about whether the plug is pulled on patients who are on life support. Also, this link to a Los Angeles Times article in which Michael Schiavo, who is a private citizen and has not committed any illegal act, is condemned in truly vicious fashion for being unworthy of respect -- by Tom DeLay, a leading member of Congress who is under investigation for numerous violations of professional ethics and possibly illegal behavior. See the second to last paragraph in the LA Times article for the quote.

And finally, this reference to a CBS News interview with legal expert Andrew Cohen on the ways in which the Bush administration's intervention in Florida's rulings in the Terri Schiavo case are damaging the state judicial system and the principle of judicial independence.
