If he uses an executive order or sends in the troops without any authority, than yes, he's a dictator. And, again, what offense against the United States has she committed that would give the president the authority to pardon her? And once again, I understand the issue here - I believe that withholding food and water from a patient is unethical and barbaric, but I don't want my president, whoever he is and whatever party he belongs to, issuing orders for which he has no constitutional authority.

So you would rather he allow barbarism to rum amok in the name of not violating the constitution?

Let me ask you this. Would you be more offended that he took Terri Schiavo into custody (no matter what justification he might concoct) or that he signed campaign finance reform?

Judge greer, by ordering the denial of life to Terri has put himself in the same box as those that ordered to denial of liberty to slaves before the civil war.

When the states violate the life, or liberty of an innocent, it becomes the duty of the United States to respond.
