Y'all or so naive when it comes to law. Florida law as
it currently stands allows a guardian to decide on life
support decisions when the patient has no living will or
can not make the decision for herself.

There is nothing Bush the president or Bush the governor
do to override the law and the judge. All they can do is
ask for a federal judge to review and this they have already
done. Even the supreme court rejected review of Terri.

Like it or not, this is how our country works. The law is
followed whether one considers it moral or immoral.

If you don't like the laws as they stand, work to get them
changed. But for God's sake don't ask Bush to break the law.

We're nieve huh? How about we already know what the law says in Florida and that life support is for someone who is terminal, in which Terri is not! Go away, we Freepers are a little more educated than you think we are!

This great country of ours is a republic which follows
all laws. This country is NOT a christian church and does
not run based on morality of issues.

The law as it stands allows a spouse of a person to make
like support decisions in absence of a written living will,
or if the patient is not mentally capable of making it.

Asking Bush to break the existing law exposes him to jail,
and impeachment. There are so many well meaning but naive
people posting here.
