The government had no business getting onvolved and passing legislation beyond what what already in place (ie what the judges originally based their rulings on). I don't think that we, as Americans, should even know about this case, let alone have to listen to our politicians grandstand about it.
I agree. I heard there are roughly 30,000 people in similar situations in the US at a given time - why is this one a political football?

My sisters and I faced something roughly similar with my mother - 1 sister and I knew my mother was "gone", the other sister kept clinging to hope that wasn't there - lucky for us, (and, I believe, for my mother) my mother passed so we didn't have to decide.
I can only imagine the anguish of husband and family after 15 years!
