There is no end to the hypocrisy of the republicans (and, to be fair, many democrats) on this issue. Until now, haven't they been all about "protecting" marriage? Now, they are forced to use the "logic" that Terri left no written living will, even though every court and every judge who has heard this case has been satisfied that Terri did make her wishes known to her husband and friends. If we assume that her wishes are not known, then according to the marital contract between her and her husband it must be left to her husband (either as next-of-kin or legal guardian - which is it, I'm not sure) to make decisions for her.
Okay then, where is the "protection" of marriage? The bigoted morons in Congress seem to have found this particular marital contract to be most inconvenient and thus they wish to overrule it. Giving Terri's parents legal guardianship of her will nullify her legal marriage to her husband, won't it?
So what happened to "protecting" marriage?
