I did wonder though if President Bush could have at the 11th hour issued an Executive Order overturning everything and giving her guardianship to her parents - and that he was just waiting till every effort had been exhausted legally first. Of course, the poor soul did not have the time to keep on living till all efforts had been exhausted. I don't understand how President Clinton could have pardoned criminals at the last moment of his Presidency and that President Bush's hands were tied in this case - and I don't understand how the two consenting branches of government cannot hold the third branch in contempt - I guess there is a lot about the law of the land that is a mystery to me.

They can they were just spineless cowards with a few exceptions that were not able to sway the majority. It all came down to politics and money. The pools dictated how outraged the politicans got and also this will further the agenda of medicare and social security reform.

Personally I have decided to go to nursing school so that I will be able to care for my aging parents and disabled children myself if it ever comes to do it myself or let the government kill them. And that I fear is where we are headed.

That wouldda been a deathblow to the Rule of Law and the separation of Powers, imho...the Executive and Legislative Branches gave the Judicial Branch every possible opportunity to save Terri's life, and they stubbornly REFUSED!! The Judiciary wanted Terri DEAD and they got their wish!!

That was my hope and prayer too. That he would come riding in on a white horse and rescue her. I believe in the days ahead, they will realize that they could have saved her, and didn't, and it will eat at them.

Judge Greer is more powerful than our entire government combined. That kicked me in my teeth when I came to that realization. I will never be the same.
