"The President has to act within the law, and from everything I have read and heard, there isn't much he can do without an act of Congress."

The problem was the rhetoric. He could have used his platform to make a strong case for Terri S., but did not.

I disagree, This is after all a State issue, President Bush made it clear where he stood on this matter and if he did anything more than making sure he was there to sign the Bill Congress sent to him in the middle of the night, he would have been out of line.

We are a Republic that respects the right for each State to have their own Constitution and enact their own laws, and have that States Executive to deal with matters of the State. As much as I think it's a travesty that Terri Schiavo is being put to death by an over reaching State Court, the fact remains the same that this was and still is a State matter.

I appreciate your passion on this issue, but I think we have to accept the fact that Terri Schiavo is being executed by the State of Florida and there isn't much Jeb or George can do for her now, My hope is that we enact legislation to make sure this will never happen again.

God Bless You my friend

Mike
