Do people actually read each other's posts here?
It seems everyone is just spouting feelings and not truly responding to each other.
I recommended we all begin calling the president asking him to intervene with an executive order and it appears no one is listening.....
If Terri gets to the point of no return....will we then wish we HAD contacted the president?
Some think it's no use because the president can't do this, but he CAN. Presidents since Washington have all written executive orders for a variety of things. He could write an executive order to get her in a hospital. That action would not prevent the judge from mulling this over for another week!
But he's not likely to - unless the people begin calling and emailing him about it. It would be a bold move, but well within his Constitutional powers. He would be providing much-needed balance to a run-amuck judiciary.

It sounds like a good idea. We have to try EVERYTHING.
As a matter of fact, though I didn't do what you just suggested, last week I called President Bush's comment line 202-456-1414, and said that if Clinton's Janet Reno could get Elion for a bad reason, why can't the president rescue Terri for a good reason.
So yes, calling the White House is a good idea. Maybe he can say the magic words that will activate Jeb Bush.
Seaside Sparrow...yes, we read one another's posts. We've been through a lot together.
