I stand in support of Floriduh VOter. The comments are not unwarranted and she certainly has the right to exercise her opinion as provided for in the First Amendment. The Bushes have the power to save Terri and so far, neither have done so and have violated the public trust and their oath of office.

They have to have a legal ground to step in....the DOJ said they do not see any legal ground...stop blaming them...they have been trying to help...hands are tied and that is what is so frustrating....it was said this morning that President Bush wanted to send the Fed Marshall in and take Terri out of there, but he has no legal ground to do so and even he has to have it

Did Reno have legal authority, or did she just act?

Well the President could just say that he has the legal authority to rescue Terri, as Reagan did in Grenada with those medical students in 1983. He could cite "take care that the laws be faithfully executed" for his justification. But it takes courage to act.

Legal -

If the Florida statutes specifically state that it is illegal to starve and dehydrate someone, why couldn't the Florida Attorney General just make a call to the hospice to tell them that he is sending the ambulance to get Terri and that if they don't tell the police guards to stand down (they are on the hospice property, so the hospice must have allowed them permission to be there) that he will have them all arrested for attempted murder?
