The bill passed, but the bill only grants the power for a federal judge to sign the order, it doesn't put the tube back in, the judge has to sign off on it... We'll likely know today.

I'm assuming that if this is done, Mr. Schiavo's attourneys will then try to have the bill struck down as unconstitutional (which it clearly is), however, the president and his cohorts in Congress will no doubt delay that forever, thus keeping this dangerous legislation active.

I'm seeing this more and more as an effort to to rally a popular "no confidence" in the judicial system.
The GOP knows full well it's acting unconstitutionally and probably wants a fight to get the people (the stupid ones) against "checks and balances" altogether.
We need more obstructionists to legislative tryanny, not less.

Hopefully this hearing today will put an end to this once and for all and the Judge will admonish the Congress for its attempt to circumvent recognized jurisprudence and States rights.

Don't you see that it is better to put the decision-making power back in the right hands, and take it out of the government's hands?
Uh, yes. Isn't that what I've argued consistently in this Shiavo circus?

And there are those who want to starve her to death. How humane is that? Cruel and inhumane is what it is.
