I know you're part of the choir, Mudboy, and I know you are sincere. We disagree about Executive powers and their exercise. No example from the past can perfectly reflect this because we haven't been here before. If we had this wouldn't be an issue now. A reasonable doubt exists in all matters pertaining to this case, as the President said "it is better to err on the side of life" and that could also be said of justice and Constitutional protections.

Is our government so impotent and incompetent that a citizen can lose their life before the eyes of the whole world while so many doubts remain unresolved? Mere citizens may nullify the law in a specific case, as jurors, but the Chief Executive Officer, who presides over the branch entrusted with law enforcement, cannot halt an errant case and require an investigation? When Governor Bush expressed his lack of faith in the FL courts and legislature last week by requesting federal assistance that should have been a clear indication that he felt that the federal Constitution has been ignored and violated in a manner that's endemic in the system.

A state of emergency exists here that includes ongoing civil disobediance resulting in children being arrested, people being tasered and other citizens being denied access to their loved ones in Woodside Hospice. The inability of a private citizen's lawyer to present a sound appeal in the face of apparent systemic corruption should not be the excuse for letting this situation continue to spiral out of control while the disabled subject of it all is killed by court order.

"A reasonable doubt exists in all matters pertaining to this case, as the President said "it is better to err on the side of life" and that could also be said of justice and Constitutional protections."

I couldn't agree more...I really cannot believe the situation has gotten this far...I just figgered somehow Terri's life would be saved, and Michael would turn over custody to Terri's parents. But the Pro-Death crowd has been bound and determined to see this young lady murdered...and it looks like they are winning this battle!!
