Mr. President, Governor Jeb Bush,
It is important to remember that it is JUSTICE that the law is concerned with.
In the case of Terri Schindler (Schiavo) the affectation of JUSTICE has been subordinated and becomes just that: an affectation.
A steady encroachment of procedures and rules has superceded the implementation of JUSTICE. That is the fatal fault in this Schiavo affair and because of it the court has effectively executed her in a manner as dialectical as any Soviet court system or any of Hitler's courts.
The remedy to apply JUSTICE exists in Civil Rule 60(b)(11) which states: "Any other reason justifying relief from the operation of the judgment."
Any other reason justifying relief.
How about basic humanity as a reason to reinsert the feeding tube. Thereafter,
*a court appointed attorney/guardian *administer the proper medical tests such as an MRI *publically release the medical data *arrange for remedial treatment from those experts who have stated that it is possible, (and I am sure there will not be a lack of such individuals) and then let events proceed.
Mr. President, you could issue a presidential pardon to exonerate a women that the judiciary has condemned to die and also issue a presidential order which would proscribe the sequence:
*a stay *re-insertion of the tube *a proper medical evaluation*therapy
After which a final decision could be made.
We would call that JUSTICE.
Governor Bush you could also issue a reprieve (pardon) as if you were reprieving a condemned person from a death dictated by Judicial fiat.
The combination of these two pardons and a Presidential order would break the back of this judicial tyranny of rules and would afford some JUSTICE to prevail.
In the name of God do your duty.
