Governor Jeb Bush, R-Florida, was pained to say he had done all he could do legally. Bush said he wouldn't 'break the law' to save Terry Schiavo. Bush wouldn't, couldn't, shouldn't because he is just obeying orders. The Governor of Florida follows orders from a Pinellas County Circuit judge. In matters of life and death. In issues of cruel and unusual punishment. When due process is denied.
The Constitution of Florida says The People are sovereign like kings. The People of Florida vest the supreme executive authority in a governor in their constitution. Unless, apparently, a judge orders otherwise. In fact a Circuit Judge, whose limited jurisdiction is listed in the Florida constitution can order every administrative and police official across the state of Florida to 'freeze, boy. Do as I order, hear?' So, when a child takes water to a starving, dehydrated disabled woman, the kid is arrested by deputies. They're just following orders.
Good Germans followed judges and other officials in obeying the law of the land 60 years ago. Good Americans today, it appears, also obey the law of the land. The law of the land is whatever a black robed priest-king, called judge, says it is. Ask Gov. Bush where in the Florida Code a Circuit judge can deny a woman food and water unto death. Yet, clearly, it's a violation of Chapter 825 of the Florida Criminal Code to abuse and neglect a disabled person, Terry Schiavo, by starvation.
The Florida Constitution states The People have the God-given right to life for all individuals regardless of disability. Unless an elected lawyer in costume, a judge, says the law of the land is to kill a brain-damaged woman slowly. The abuse of a disabled person by failing to provide nutrition is a felony in Florida. Unless, of course, a judge says 'follow my orders' and won't permit her family to take a picture of her suffering.
Lawful Germans just followed the orders of Nazi Human Secularists. Loyal Russian, Chinese, North Korean, Eastern European, Cambodian, and Vietnamese carried out the orders of Communist Human Secularists. Americans serve Liberal Human Secularism if a judge orders. If a judge ordered a black man lynched, it would be the law of the land.
Why not? Gov. Bush would be so sorry, really, but couldn't do anything if a judge gave an order. But, a judge would never do such a thing, right? The difference between lynching and abortion is proportion and status. One black man dies or 40 million babies die (so far) on the word and writ of robed masters. No one in the executive or legislature used their constitutional powers. Everyone just followed orders.
Abortion was a state medical-legal issue, but five judges out of nine on the U.S. Supreme Court made up a right to privacy. It's written in the U.S. Constitution like the requirement to starve Terry Schiavo to death is in the Florida Constitution and Code. Look and see.
March 28th, 2005 we will see if the U.S. Congress which ordered a subpoena for Terry Schiavo and a new Federal judicial review of her case will follow the orders of Pinellas County Circuit judge. George Greer dismissed the subpoena, backed by the U.S. Code it's the law, with a wave of his hand. Just as he denied Terry Schiavo her freedom of religion to receive communion, until her adulterous husband and Greer's campaign contributor relented for Easter. The Federal judges ignored the law the U.S. Congress passed and the President of the U.S. signed for new look at the case. They rule.
The elected Federal Legislature and Executive is having their bluff called. Attorney General Janet Reno sent in armed men against a Florida court order to take Elian Gonzales from his dead mother's wishes and loving family to return the child to communist slavery in Cuba. Perhaps, Republicans in power just posture.
Reasonable people and unreasonable people, sometimes known as lawyers, disagree on Gov. Bush using his executive power. They fear a Constitutional crisis. Too late. Judge Greer started the crisis, this Dred Scot, with his judicial tyranny. The judge would hold the Governor in contempt. It would take an Andrew Jackson or Abraham Lincoln to be so bold. But, Jeb Bush, nice guy that he is, well-meaning man, and good Catholic, is no 'Old Hickory' and no "Honest Abe'. Jeb, like every defendant at Nuremburg save one, pleads 'not guilty' because he is just following orders.
"Good Germans followed judges and other officials in obeying the law of the land 60 years ago."
says it all right there! (although the date is a bit off)
Why is it that the president's two brothers don't have the same "accent" as gwb?
just wondering........................
Or-ders! Vich must be obeyed at all times!
Looks like someone needs to watch the movie "Judgement at Nuremburg" a few times.
"Looks like someone needs to watch the movie "Judgement at Nuremburg" a few times."
Roger that! Judges were tried and convicted at Nuremburg for, basically, upholding the immoral (crimes against humanity) laws of the Third Reich.
Adolf Eichmann took great pains during his trial in 1962 to explain that he was "just following orders" in coordinating the mass murder of the Jews.
An unjust law is not a real law.
An unjust ruling by a probate judge to starve and dehydrate an innocent woman to death is not a real ruling, and must be resisted.
Governor Bush needs to step up to the plate, and hit Judge Greer out of the park.
TONIGHT.

I do believe that every high school and college student as well as any government employee, judges and elected officials prior to taking office should watch Holocaust documentaries, some of the old Nazi films, and the 1978 NBC miniseries, "The Holocaust." In addition, the politicos in Washington would also have to visit the Holocaust Museum. Look how we forget.
Come, come. You can't expect Mr. Bush to stick his neck out. It might hurt his political ambitions.
This man too was "Just following orders"
"I joined the Party precisely because it was revolutionary, not because of the ideological stuff." (12/11/45)...."The whole conspiracy idea is cockeyed. We had orders to obey the head of state. We weren't a band of criminals meeting in the woods in the dead of night to plan mass murders...The four real conspirators are missing: The Fuhrer, Himmler, Bormann, and Goebbels."
Goering, Hermann
Reichsmarschall and Luftwaffe (Air Force) Chief; President of Reichstag; Director of "Four Year Plan"
Are ze trainss on time zo?
If you think it's such a great idea, why aren't you down there breaking the law to save Terry. You expect others to do, yet you don't do it.
Are you a good German?
Nuremburg was good for holding the leadership accountable, the officers. I don't honestly know how average soldiers were treated.
I can't believe Jeb pussed out. I know everyone has moral failings, but such men shouldn't be governors.

Let's see; it consists of Party A and Party B, not necessarily in that order, and the last Party on his/her/its feet owns the other Party.
