But can he order this? What is his legal authority? Can a judge just decide a person shall not be fed even by mouth? It has just been assumed he can make this order but what if he can't? If he has overstepped his judicial authority, and I cannot see how this order can have any legal justification beyond his mere fiat, then it seems to me that he has disqualified himself from this case.
