Sorry, poor wording on my part - I know they won't drop their attack on the judicial system, just the attempt to use the Schaivo case in that attack.

Santorum wants to schedule hearings to grill the Florida judges as to what authority they thought allowed them to "ignore the clear will and intent of Congress" by refusing to interpret the federal-court-jurisdiction emergency-law the way Santorum & Co. wanted it interpreted.

But maybe not.

I guess I was a bit optimistic.

"Mrs. Schiavo's death is a moral poverty and a legal tragedy. This loss happened because our legal system did not protect the people who need protection most, and that will change. The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior, but not today. Today we grieve, we pray, and we hope to God this fate never befalls another. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Schindlers and with Terri Schiavo's friends in this time of deep sorrow."
