Normally I would agree with you on principle, but here we have a case of the judiciary issuing orders to kill an innocent person. One principle of our government is a system of checks and balances to prevent precisely this kind of abuse. If one branch of government is abusing the citizens of the land (by killing them), the people who grant the government it's just powers to govern, the other branches are obliged to exercise some measure of oversight and restraint.

It is clear that this bloody business is getting out of hand. When you have the court passing de facto death sentences on innocent persons, something is out of kilter. The other branches of government, and, ultimately, the citizens who establish such government, would be remiss if they did not act to oppose such blatant abuses of the citizenry.

Are you nuts?! Don't you fear 'out of control' governors and presidents going around forcing people to live? /sarcasm
