What law? The law that permits death by starvation? You can't break a law that is null and void. The situation is analogous to slavery. The Dred Scott decision was null and void. There is a law higher than the Supreme Court.

The President has no authority to determine which laws he will follow and which laws he will not. If he undertakes any action because he believes the court order starving Terri Schiavo is immoral, then he will be acting as a private citizen. As such, it is clear that you believe this law to be immoral. So, I ask again, why are you relying on President Bush to do something outside of his Constitutional authority. Why don't you go insert Terri Schiavo's feeding tube yourself?

If the order is null and void under natural law, then you should have no problem breaking whatever laws are necessary yourself to get the feeding tube inserted.

Right. Rather than intervene to prevent Terri's murder, he should concern himself more with Robert's Rules of Order.

Everyone involved in Terri's murder, from the nurses to the cops enforcing the court order, have an obligation to ignore it. "Just following orders" is no defense.

The most likely candidate right now for saving Terri's life is Jeb. He should send in the National Guard.
