Congress, Bush Force Review of Terri Schiavo Case

President Bush signs legislation that will allow a federal court to hear the case of Terri Schiavo, a brain-damaged Florida woman. The president signed the measure early Monday morning, minutes after the House passed it on a 203-to-58 vote. The Senate approved the bill by a voice vote Sunday.
