CLEARWATER, Fla.—Sitting recently on his brick back patio here, Michael Schiavo called Jeb Bush a vindictive, untrustworthy coward.
For years, the self-described “average Joe” felt harassed, targeted and tormented by the most important person in the state.
“It was a living hell,” he said, “and I blame him.”
Michael Schiavo was the husband of Terri Schiavo, the brain-dead woman from the Tampa Bay area who ended up at the center of one of the most contentious, drawn-out conflicts in the history of America’s culture wars. The fight over her death lasted almost a decade. It started as a private legal back-and-forth between her husband and her parents. Before it ended, it moved from circuit courts to district courts to state courts to federal courts, to the U.S. Supreme Court, from the state legislature in Tallahassee to Congress in Washington. The president got involved. So did the pope.
But it never would have become what it became if not for the dogged intervention of the governor of Florida at the time ...

I know with absolute certainty that God’s will was not done with the death of Terry. She was tortured by starvation and dehydration. THAT is not God’s will.
So be it. I would rather lose my status than allow an innocent young women be put to death with my benign neglect.
Is that asinine answer a real reply to what I said?????????...neither the state, nor federal government passed a law which deprived her of life...
I agree that it was a total unjustifyable DISASTER...but to blame it on Bush is moronic at best.
Bush was the top law enforcement officer in the state of Florida.
When everyone else failed to do their most important duty, that duty fell to him.
No matter how much you name call, this is the truth.
If you have any law training we are all in DS trouble
Lawyers killed her.
So I don’t know what you’re talking about.
mmm..hmmm—if you say so.
Wonderful post.
Jeb supporters would like us to forget all of this.
Thank you for that information (ammunition against future Jeb whitewashers.)
I did not know that Terry’s death facility was owned by the Church of Scientology, or that her evil murderer Michael is a Scientologist.
