Gay Davis and Clinton made executive orders all the time, so I do not buy it. He could make an executive order that anyone that could drink water or digest nutrition would not be withheld those things in the care of a medical facility in the state of Florida. There are many different things he could come up with.

Some creative thinking could come up with the right executive order. Mainly that murdering someone by starvation is not legal would be a good start.

I am very ashamed of our justice system and of our country at this time.

Maybe it is a good thing that this is so very far away from me and I don't have the finances to be there. I would more than likely get shot because I would not just stand there.

When the jerks where shooting birds out at the Oxnard Golf Course I went out and grabbed tubbys gun and told him he was done shooting.

I could not just stand around.

Why doesn't Jeb Bush go to the hospice himself and make sure that if she is able to have water that she gets it?

He should definitely do that. This will hurt his political career if he does not do more.
