Do you believe for one second that Thompson doesn't recall any details about the Schiavo case

[in_cog_ni_to]

and therefore, can't possibly comment on it? What a CROCK.

"Thompson has no opinion on Schiavo case, says he doesn’t remember details"

THE VILLAGES, Fla. - Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson said Thursday he doesn’t know enough about efforts by President Bush and Congress to keep Terri Schiavo alive to have an opinion on the right-to-die case that stirred national debate.

Thompson was asked in an interview for Bay News 9’s "Political Connections" program if he thought Congress’ intervention to save the life of the brain-dead woman two years ago was appropriate.

"I can’t pass judgment on it. I know that good people were doing what they thought was best," Thompson said. "That’s going back in history. I don’t remember the details of it."

Congress passed a bill after Schiavo’s feeding tube was removed in March 2005 to allow a federal court to review the case, and Bush returned from his Texas ranch to sign the bill into law. But a federal judge refused to order the tube reinserted, a decision upheld by a federal appeals court and the Supreme Court.

Thompson, a former Tennessee senator who left office in 2003, did say, "Local matters generally speaking should be left to the locals. I think Congress has got an awful lot to keep up with."<snip>
