They have always had the power.

What are you worried about? Can't you see - it's all about power. Who gave Michael the power he has? Should he have it - NO!

It already has that kind of power. Hence Bush considering its use. People are simply asking the agency to apply its power in Terri's case.

Ugh. That is an organization already rife with abuses of power. Even if they are right in regards Schiavo, loosening their leash to do so will have a lot of horrible consequences.

They already have the power to take away my children if I abuse them or starve. So, taking away a starved abused adult [who is in a way, equivalent to a child, unable to defend herself] from the abusive spouse is not essentially an excercise of a greater power than they already have.
