MSNBC — Permalink PINELLAS PARK, Fla. - The feeding tube for Terry Schiavo, a seriously brain-damaged woman, was removed Friday, an attorney involved in the case told NBC News, despite an extraordinary, last-minute push by Republicans on Capitol Hill to use the subpoena powers of Congress to keep the woman alive. Read remarks from Joe Gandelman, Tom @Corrente, Baldilocks, and Michelle Malkin. [memeorandum] some of the links on this are, well, amazing to read...
