According to YOU removing the feeding tube is "murder". According to Florida law, it is not. According to ME abortion is murder (hence again illegal), according to law it is not. According to Anti - War activists the Iraqi War is illegal, according to the law, it is not.

It all depends on the law. I don't always like the law, but that is what I have to change, not asking the President to circumvent the law, in an unconstitutional manner.

I have not commented on what I personally think of this case, because it really doesn't matter, and that is the point. For all of those stating that the judiciary is committing unlawful acts, that is just ridiculous. They are following the law, at this point. If it is changed today by the Florida Legislation, I will Praise God, but as of this moment, many here are actually asking for judicial activism, which is a scary thought.

I think Michael Schiavo is scum for not turning over guardianship to the parents, but according to the law he didn't have to. If the allegations against him are proven (abuse, etc), then he will be punished. But until that time, the judges must follow Florida law, whether we like it or not.

This doesn't mean that we don't have any recourse. We do, we can continue to call the Florida legislatures to change the law, we can remember this when they are up for re election, and campaign against them, but we can't expect the President, or the Governor to break the law (as it is written now).
