Are you a lawyer? I ask that politely, as I've talked to a few lawyers who post here on FR, and their opinions varied but did not reflect what you said here.

Thanks for your very informative post #120 on that other thread. Maybe you could post that info here on this thread as well, to ALL. Thanks, Robert Drobot.

No, I know nothing about the law so take my opinions on it with a huge grain of salt ;-)

I was just thinking overall this approach might work given the structure of our government. I haven't seen anyone mention it before. Lawyers work within the judicial system and this approach is outside of that system, more political. If you have Jeb's ear it would be within his power to convene the legislature and pass an emergency measure. This case has implications far beyond Terri. If he has the ability to stay a criminal's execution I don't see why those powers cannot be expanded to euthanasia cases.
