I could be wrong, but I don't believe that the POTUS is authorized to call out the National Guard in this situation. I'd like for him to stay within his powers. Am I wrong?

I don't think the State of Florida is authorized to starve and dehydrate an innocent person to death. Am I wrong?

I asked you first-- and it was a serious question. Does the POTUS have authority to call out the National Guard in a case like this?

We don't know who should do what. Meanwhile, an innocent, cognizant, nonterminal woman's life slowly drains away.

Someone must act at the state or federal level. If a private citizen acts, it will be illegal. A backwater judge in a FLA district court cannot have authority over the elected United States Congress... can he?

If Terri dies this time, we get a legal precedent - one over which many have been salivating. Who's their next victim? Which group will be targeted next?
