"*Presidents (and governors) can issue executive orders for clemency and stays of execution. Legislature and judiciary do not have those prerogatives. "
This is the only part of your last post that ads anything new. Your are right about this, but so what. The reason Governors and Presidents are permitted to do this is BECAUSE THEY ARE EXPLICITLY PERMITTED TO DO THIS IN LAW.
**Therefore, the president may issue an executive order for a "stay of execution" by starvation re Terri Schiavo.
Worth repeating again is that executive orders cannot be in conflict with decisions of the judicial branch. This is fact, not my opinion....your rant about Judges not being infallible gods is opinion and has no bearing on the outcome.
**It bears repeating that you characterize my expressed opinions as "rants." Furthermore, you misrepresent, in fact, YOU INVENT what YOU deem I "want" when I have expressed no such thing! I am very explicit in expressing what I want and what I think. I don't respect your cross-eyed interpretion and misrepresentation in your contentious discourse.
**Judges, presidents, politicians, judges, et al, are NOT infallible gods, and GOVERNMENT is not an infallible entity. THAT (my)statement is proven over-well by the history and the nature of mankind. Supreme Court judges, for the most part, are political appointees. We the People are not to be governed by a cabal of judges nor should the Constitution ever be over-ruled by judges. To that point: Should the singular issue of abortion rights (i.e., partial birth butchery) be the litmus test for SC appointees? Ridiculous! You may quote me, not misrepresent me, and by quoting me you redeem the integrity you lost through asserting devious and fanciful concoctions of what "things" I "want."
