Ok, so in essence she's been sentenced to death by a court. So why can't President Bush pardon that sentence? I'm a little rusty on civics, but seems like Gov Bush could do the same thing?

Because Terri didn't commit a crime, a Presidential pardon is impossible and doesn't apply.

They can, but they won't.

You can't put your trust on politicians or the other abstraction known as "The Party." It's not about The Party, it's all about the people - your people.
