You got to be kidding - the president/gov. have the power to protect citizens. This women does NOT have a living will - the husbands testimony is heresay and suspect. He is the President of the United States - if he wants to send troops into that room he can - who would stop him?????? We have given the courts to much power to determine right and wrong - they have no guidance, could care less about presedence (unless it serves their purpose) and have allegence to thier political ideology not the constitution. Its time we the people (starting with the president) make a stand against these rogue courts/judges.

I'm not disagreeing with you that I wish this could be done, but I've read and listened to so many different people with legal backgrounds say that neither one of them have the power to do as you say. I believe that if it were legal for either one of them to do what we would like for them to do, one of them would have already done so.

"He is the President of the United States - if he wants to send troops into that room he can - who would stop him??????"

Please. President Bush does not have the authority to do this.

This is not some third world dictatorship.

Amen, sasafras. My dream is Delta Force, Ninjas, Scouts, anybody (maybe the team that stormed in to grab Elian Gonzales) to bust in there, grab Terri and immediately spirit her away to a witness protection program where an honest attempt to rehabilitate her can be attempted. She is being prevented from testifying on her behalf as to how she was injured and the only other witness clearly does not have her best interest at hand. Schiavo and the Hospice should be, in some way, by some law, be held and investigated for suspicion of taking and holding Terri as a hostage to prevent her from any kind of possible recovery in order to testify in court on her own behalf. If there was a trial, I believe there are others who would also testify on her behalf; M. Schiavo's activities are too suspect for him to be the only guardian. It doesn't take a Columbo to figure this out.

This is a test case....the camel's nose is under the tent.

Send in a Special Force Unit to rescue her; in and out in less than 3 minutes. They (or some other unit) did it for U.S. Army Private Jessica Lynch being held in the Iraqi Hospital; just because its Florida instead of Iraq doesn't mean Terri isn't also being held against her will and being tortured to death.

He is the President of the United States - if he wants to send troops into that room he can - who would stop him

At that moment, our president would become a military dictator. A law unto himself. You do not want this. In your grief and desperation you might think you do, but you'd live to regret it should it happen.
