He can only do what is legal for him to do and within his constitutional powers. His first and most important duty is to uphold the Constitution of the United States.

No matter how important the life is Terri is, we can not destroy the Constitution. Think of all those young men and women who are putting their lives on the line every single day to uphold that very same Constitution.

Absurd. The purpose of the Constitution, which is stated in the Preamble, is to promote the general welfare. Murdering Terri Schiavo does not promote the general welfare. Whatever rulings or statutes that permit her murder are null and void. Therefore, the president, legislature or governor, has every right, nay, duty, to intervene on her behalf.

There is a Higher Law to which we all will have to give account. And on that day the Constitution of the United Staes of America will mean absolutely NOTHING.

"Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye
cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye
gave me no drink."

(Matthew 25)

Which is what he would be doing by overruling unconstitutional actions by the Court.
