I see no reason whatsoever that President Bush could not use his Presidential Pardon power to pardon Terri Schiavo. Our founding fathers granted the presidnet this power to protect the individual against evil in the judiciary. No mention is made between civil or criminal cases, and the only recourse from those opposed is the ballot box or impeachment.
President Bush could pardon Terri Shiavo, pick her up in the presidential helicopter, and keep her in the Lincoln bedroom to guarantee her safety during rehabilitation. Terri's mother could file for divorce on her behalf. With access to Terri, the news media and the Demoncrats would be exposed as the pure defenders of evil that they are.
After all of the garbage that went on in the Lincoln bedroom, and the evil pay-for-play pardons that went on during Clinton's term, the MSM would self destruct if they went after President Bush too hard.
Let's get to it Freepers ! We could save an innocent life.

All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
You have freepmail. And welcome to Freerepublic.
Well, we might have to agree to disagree then. I don't see the ramification as simply "possible", in part because I lump Terri Schiavo in with the other fronts on the war against the culture of death. Thus we can draw from the past to inform us. But we do seem to have different interpretations of that past.
And we don't need to give them justification to expand beyond those who were charged with crimes.
