The Sheriff and his men implemented an illegal order.

Really? Funny that no one somehow noticed it was an illegal order. Not the legislature, the governor of the state, even expanding to the unconstitutional actions by Republicans none of the federal courts recognized it was. No one except a few keyboard warriors and some kooks that tied up Pinellas County, prevented free enterprise for local businesses, and perhaps even caused issues for families wanting to visit their loved ones also at the hospice

If the same had been done in war it would be a war crime. That they were "just following orders" does not protect them.

Exactly how would it have been a war crime? Provide chapter and verse of the Geneva Convention or any other Convention that states this. And now 'conservatives' run to international laws to support their position. Willing to give up even our sovereignty to argue your point? Since you can't find an argument in the Constitution, which you have yet to provide, we're going to delve into international law?

Would I swear a complaint for murder and conspiracy to murder against the whole lot -- sure! Why do I not? I have not the resources to go to Florida and do so.

As you are not a citizen of the state of Florida, it is, or never was, any of your business. As I have stated, which has yet to be refuted (and can't be), this was an internal issue for Florida and her citizens. But feel free to give the Attorney General of Florida a call. Give the Governor's office a call. Swear out a complaint against them. Just don't be suprised when they hang up after you give the reason you called

It might be like some Polish Jew swearing a warrant against the Nazis in Occupied Poland, but I hope not.

Well, done with you. Fanciful imagination you have though. One woman's untimely, but eventual, passing compared to the actions involved in the murder of 6 million people

The Geneva Convention certainly would treat this case as a war crime, and so would earlier understandings of the law of war crimes -- say for instance the case of Andersonville Prison Camp wherein men where starced and mistreated.

Here's one quick google hit -- you can do your own damned research:

Article 147 of the Fourth Geneva Convention defines war crimes as: "Wilful killing, torture or inhuman treatment, including... wilfully causing great suffering or serious injury to body or health"

"...this was an internal issue for Florida and her citizens."

I wish you were right. The national powers that oversee our life and death are already interfering.

Remember the AMA ruling a few weeks ago to oppose any state legalizations to support the presumption of life?

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1427939/posts?page=200#200

"The...American Medical Association on [June 21, 2005 set]policy opposing any legislation that presumes patients would want life-sustaining treatment unless it is clear that they would not."

We have already agreed that we both want the Federal government and the AMA to allow us to make these decisions through our state legislature but apparently some people have different ideas.

You want the right to choose death when you want it and I want the right to choose life when I want it without the AMA or the Feds interfering.

We are on the same page with our core issue here.

The only problem is it looks like the Feds will stay out and your rights will be retained but the AMA has jumped the gun to try and block all states from making a decision to preserve my right to life unless I have a living will stating otherwise.
