What, can President Bush do to save this woman? I suppose he could send in the ATF like Mr. Clinton and Ms. Reno did in the Waco and Elian Gonzalez cases. In doing so, he would become a hypocrite. President Bush has done everything in his power to save this woman. To blame him is to be ignorant to the powers afforded to the Executive Branch.

Absolute and complete nonsense. The executive branch was designed to act as a check upon the judiciary, as was the legislative branch. To see conservatives cravenly bowing before these judges as though the final, supreme voice of the people resides in these unelected, self-appointed legislators is startling.

The Elian comparison doesn't hold up to even the slighest amount of scrutiny. In that case, there was no imminent danger of death and there was absolute proof of the mother's intentions for her child. In this case, we have no idea what Terri wanted for herself; we have a faithless husband, and we have two parents whose only desire is to FEED THEIR DAUGHTER. To fail to use executive power in such an instance is to demonstrate ABJECT MORAL COWARDICE.
