Thus far everything that has been done to save this woman's life has been with a deference to the the constitutional principles of separation of powers and federalism. Yet, this woman for whatever reason has fallen prey to a legal cesspool.
Barring an unlikely save from Justice Kennedy, any action taken by the Florida executive branch would be extra-constitutional. I have read the statute that DCF believes allows them to take custody of Terri Schiavo. They would be on shaky legal grounds to say the least.
At what point do you say enough is enough? This woman has a right to life. If the US Constitution cannot protect her, than natural law principles ought to. The judiciary pulls rulings out of thin air all the time, why can't the executive use precepts outside of our legal realm to save this woman's life?
They do it when it comes to reinforcing the legalization and manifestation of the culture of death that has infected this country with a disease as fatal as any bubonic plague or malaria. Look at the tortured legal "reasoning" the USSC (and Harry Blackmun in particular) came up with for justifying abortion: a "penumbra" of rights, a shadow of a ghost of a hint of a right. Yet when faced with an issue of saving the life of a person, they can't find any legal pathway to do so, in spite of unambiguous language in the law to do so, and a long history of legal tradition and ethical theory that dictates we err on the side of life when there is any reasonable doubt.
