Congressional hypocrisy

Thanks to the autopsy released yesterday, we know that Terri Schiavo felt no pain after her feeding pump was shut off, but Congress took extraordinary action to prolong her “life” anyway. Angel Raich is a real, living, breathing, walking human being who suffers real pain that can only be relieved by marijuana. The people of California, where she lives, decided that she should be able to relieve her pain, but Congress refuses to let their wishes be carried out in accordance with our Federalist system. Here’s a link to the vote on an amendment to a bill that would have prohibited the US government from depriving Raich and California of their rights. See how your representative voted. DeLay voted against Angel, BTW.
