Democratic Senator Tim Johnson is still in critical condition, with the reports on him continuing to lack substantive detail as to his exact condition.

Rumor has it that he's in a medically-induced coma. Medical professionals I've seen commenting on it generally think that, especially with the generally vague news we've been given about his condition, he's certainly not going to make a full recovery.

Of course, he could linger indefinitely. Hopefully, if he's in such a state, his family will do the right thing for the country and the world and let him die and be replaced in the Senate by a better person.

Of course, I guess he could always take a turn for the worst, too. There's always that.
The biggest sign that he's probably not going to recover - and that he's quite sick - is the lack of mainstream media coverage of his condition. My suspicion is that the intention of Democratic leaders is to hopefully keep him alive via artificial means as long as possible.

Perhaps a reverse Schiavo is possible here? I mean, if he's brain-dead, then keeping him alive is a kind of torture, blah, blah, blah, isn't it?

I mean, if he can't feed himself, then obviously the most humane thing to do would be to remove whatever artificial source of nutrition is being provided to him and let him starve to death. I seem to recall that liberals told us that was a "beautiful" thing, etc, etc.
