And no, MICHEAL decided to go to court. HE took it to court to get the feeding tube removed. You can't just go and remove it.

Fair enough. And?

And a state judge ruling that she dies is the state ruling for death IN CONTRADICTION to your previous statements.

From the Seond District Court of Appeals:

In this case, however, Michael Schiavo has not been allowed to make a decision to disconnect life-support. The Schindlers have not been allowed to make a decision to maintain life-support. Each party in this case, absent their disagreement, might have been a suitable surrogate decision-maker for Theresa. Because Michael Schiavo and the Schindlers could not agree on the proper decision and the inheritance issue created the appearance of conflict, Michael Schiavo, as the guardian of Theresa, invoked the trial court's jurisdiction to allow the trial court to serve as the surrogate decision-maker.

The probate judge, as a state actor, ordered the removal of her feeding tube.

He also ordered that no water or food pass her lips. I can supply that order if you'd like. By issuing that order it could be argued that the state has become an accessory to euthanasia which is against Florida Law.

Do you want probate judges having these powers?
