How did I come up with that? You claim that:

the person is justified in the use of deadly force only if he or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony. (against Terri Schiavo)

You define cite Florida law defining "forcible felony" as:

murder; manslaughter; ... and any other felony which involves the use or threat of physical force or violence against any individual. (against Terri Schiavo)

Then you state that:

the phony judge is threatening Terri with several of the above (which is a violation of the law

So first you claim that justifiable force is legal under certain circumstances (obviously in relation to the Terri Schiavo matter since you are on this thread), then you provide a legal definition of 'justifiable force' and tell us that the judge is "threatening Terri" with acts of violence (which is one of the instances that allow you to use justifiable force against him).

If you did not mean to state that force was justified against the judge, why did you bring him up and why did you bring up the subject?

And WHO are you advocating justifiable force against?

Yes Judge Greer is threatening Terri, but he would use his minions to carry out the deed. Force does not necessarily mean KILL. Force means 'power or energy; strength......any body of individuals organized for some specific work or action: police force....' etc. etc. My only reason for bringing it up is to show that this governor is the chief executive of that state and his duty is to see that the laws of the state UNDER THE CONSTITUTION AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS are carried out. IMO he has failed, and is just as guilty as Greer and all the others who want to see Terri dead. He has the power to use force to prevent a murder of a defenseless person, and he is dancing around with semantics. If that were a beautiful, healthy infant lying there would we even be having this conversation? Or would you think it fitting for the chief executive officer of the state to do a Pilate and say he was "just following 'the law'"? I KNOW where their so-called LAW is coming from, and we been there done that 2000 years ago.
