Amazing how the cautious tidbit

Amazing how the cautious tidbit of hope most who support Terri felt yesterday has been dashed today. Blogs for Terri reporting:

Fox News: Judge Whitmore has declined to order reinsertion of Terri Schiavo's feeding tube, as requested by the Schindlers. No further information is available at this time.

• To read about how Florida failed Terri, see Todd Wiley's wonderful post at Amateur Megalomania. Todd also asks about the constitutionality of the law passed in Congress, I plan to try to give a clear answer to his questions later today but if you feel you can answer them, please go ahead and let me know and I will post your comments as well.

• To read more about the cowardice of our public officials regarding Terri Schiavo, see John C.A. Bambenek's insightful post.

Update: Jeff from ThinkSink has asked in my comments for any resource I may be aware of that lists who in Congress voted for Terri's bill. Well, I'm so glad you asked:
