Don’t play stupid. Shooting your son in the head is murder. Taking patients off life support isn’t so considered by the law, even if it should be. Neither the governor nor the president have the power or responsibility to change that by fiat.

You play stupid when you suggest all laws written are legitimate. In the Schiavo case she was denied food and water -in essence she was starved to death -executed by the state via a law you regard as legal and a due process she was not a party to.

Those who were and are in office like either Bush have sworn to uphold the Constitution which enumerates unequivocally the inalienable right to life that all have been endowed by the Creator.

The fact that you play stupid as far as basic principles may not be your fault -you may just be another one of the useful idiots the left is counting on.

Okay, so a law is illegitimate. Then why are you looking for further illegitimate actions to solve them? Two wrongs don’t make a right, and neither a governor nor the president have the power to shoo away law in the name of one unfortunate individual. It’s the courts’ job to redress unjust laws, once they’ve gotten to that point.

What you’re asking is for the Brothers Bush to become revolutionaries in office. Which makes sense in some cases, as when juries refuse to convict despite the law, or states nullify unconstitutional federal law, or judges invoke judicial review. But I’m not aware of any executive equivalent. You could simply ignore other branches like Lincoln did SCOTUS. Since when, though, did governors or presidents interfere in particular cases willy-nilly to stand athwart other branches doing their job, albeit against natural law?

Of course the law was legal! duh. The due process was a charade, a corrupt judge made a bad decision that should have been overturned by either higher court but was upheld by both. Part ignorance, part liberalism, part corruption, but that's the Florida court system.

She was not executed by the state.
