I am talking about call for anarchy and the President to break the law. Go back and read some of these comments -- they are over the top.

I have as many emotions as anyone over this but I also know that the President or Governor has to work within the law even if it is a bad law. They cannot pick and choose which laws to abide by -- our Country has never worked that way. I detested Executive Orders of Clinton and my stance has not changed today.

Both men are doing everything they can under the law and I believe they will find a way to save Terri but in so doing they will have preserved our laws and Constitution for the future.

If you want to do something -- ask the Florida Senate to pass the bill -- that is an action we can influence and with that Jeb can them move in and protect Terri.

I accept your clarification and I think, it's almost the same frustration I have! I am heartened to see some politicians actually speak up and try to get some real attention to the matter. I am sickened, however, by those (and I initially thought you were one) who completely down play any human side to the situation. I can respect and understand the role of law. I do not believe however, that each law is above reproach because it simply 'is' and must be honored. I believe there are many laws in our nation's history that turned out to be pathetic and dispicable...but only after people did speak up in outrage and people did take action in outrage......

I can't just accept a case that follows the law because the procedures are deemed 'correct',,,,following the law to the letter is less important than doing something compassionate and merciful,,,and that's just my humble opinion. I fear for the fact that now as a public we are to accept that food and water are termed 'life support' and 'medical intervention.' I don't care if Teri can get better or not,,,her quality of life is not mine to judge. I see her as alive, as alive as anything. I don't care if she can communicate or swallow or interact or have a coherent thought. She is alive and that alone is enough reason for me to say she should be kept in that state as long as possible and until the good Lord takes her away....

Would you approve of the President taking extraordinary measures to secure Terri's safety in defiance of the courts, i.e., ordering Federal Marshalls to take her into protective custody - things that may not be considered currently within Presidential powers? Or, maybe purposely defying federal and state judges rulings doing other preemptive actions to help?

You are in the minority.

See my post 142 and tell me what you think. I do not believe it to be anarchy or illegal.

Failing that, someone must act or Terri will die.

Were the founders anarchists. They resorted to illegal actions when all recourse failed and violated British laws to create this nation. I believe the issue regarding Terri and her forced killing is a watershed event that deserves serious consdieration regarding civil disobedience, just like the good we accomplished at Klamath in 2001

Just my thoughts on the matter.
