Which Dems voted for H35-E? (Schiavo) Why is thomas.loc.gov JS-only?
I cannot find the Dems/'pubs rollcall & vote list for the Schiavo bill anywhere.

When I do a barebones browser search by bill number at thomas.loc.gov, I get this:
"Method Not Allowed
The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /index.html."

This has nothing to do with cookies, it's a javascript thing & you have to have it on to use the LoC. Why is a *.gov site requiring use of an untested, unrated technology like javascript? I think they're using XSS or cross-site scripting snoop technology a certain way to collect data to use later: http://www.net-security.org/article.php?id=596

The Schiavo bill was labeled in the press as H35-E but according to loc.gov it's HR 1452 IH, or is it? My D.U. reporter's confidence level / rating of U.S. operated *.gov archives is so low now it wouldn't surprise me if the final version has been stricken from the public record for some idiotic reason.

I want transparency & standardization in my government NOW! When is the coup and the clamp on dissemination of public information going to end?

3. I especially like this part of the bill
SEC. 9. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.

It is the Sense of the Congress that the 109th Congress should consider policies regarding the status and legal rights of incapacitated individuals who are incapable of making decisions concerning the provision, withholding, or withdrawal of foods, fluid, or medical care.

How many people in the US are on life support and how many can now approach Congress and say "you did it for them, now do it for us"? That should tie Congress up for a while. It's not like there are more important things to attend to.
