WASHINGTON — Republicans may try to pass legislation this week moving the final decision over Terri Schiavo’s life to federal court, a move they hope will delay the removal of her feeding tube on Friday.
House Judiciary chairman James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., and Dave Weldon, R-Fla., introduced a bill Wednesday that would allow Schiavo’s parents to ask a federal judge to hear her case after the state appeals process is completed.
That judge would be limited to deciding whether withholding or withdrawing food, fluids or medical treatment from an incapacitated person violates the Constitution or U.S. law, according the legislation.
The measure is expected to be before the full House for approval by Thursday.
Congress is set to start its Easter recess Friday.
