It is further ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that absent a stay from the appellate courts, the guardian, MICHAEL SCHIAVO, shall cause the removal of Nutrition and hydration from the ward, THERESA SCHIAVO, at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, March 18, 2005.

That little word 'shall' made this a death warrant for Terri.

Since when does a probate judge get to issue death warrants in the United States of America? Especially on helpless citizens who have never even been charged with a crime...

Since when can any judge overrule the most fundamental and important principle of our republic?

Based on what the court determined to be Terri Schiavo's wishes - if it's established that this is what she wanted, then the court is empowered to cause compliance with those wishes.
