"My heart bleeds for Terri, but the hyperbole at this site has become unbelievable. I never thought that the day would come when I would go to Free Republic and see a poll that states they want our President to do something, even if it is against the law, to protect one person."

To protect one person. Yes, that's exactly what the President of a nation founded on individual rights should do.

"Although we each have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, we must never take knee jerk reactions that threatens the rest of the Constitution!"

She has the right to life. Her Constitutional right. The govt. is charged with protecting that right. How does protecting an indiviuals right to life threaten the whole Constitution?

Our "right to life" is being replaced by "a right to die", and so many seem to want it so. Sad.

You fail to acknowledge the ramifications. We live in a society where matters are resolved on "case law". Anything the court or president does will become "case law", and therefore a governing standard. This is a case where that can be VERY dangerous.
