Did you read the article? Jeb Bush did all he could to stop the murder but did not have power over the courts. He even wrote to Greer when he was not supposed to, pleading on Terri’s behalf. Made the murder husband mad as hell.
What should he have done?
Seized her like the Johnson children in Arkansas and put her in protected custody, even to the point of witness protection. The AG’s office should have brought charges of attempted murder, and, then murder.
He should have done the right thing. He should not have participated in putting in a “law” that lets people who can’t speak for themselves be murdered through dehydration-(and it will kill a 100% healthy person), merely on the word of another person saying that’s what he/she wants.
In answer to your question:
Governor Bush was the chief law enforcement officer in the State of Florida.
In the case of Terri Schindler Schiavo, he utterly failed to enforce the supreme law of the State of Florida, and the supreme law of the United States, both of which he had sworn an oath to support and defend.
Florida Constitution
Article One
SECTION 2. Basic rights. — All natural persons, female and male alike, are equal before the law and have inalienable rights, among which are the right to enjoy and defend life and liberty, to pursue happiness, to be rewarded for industry, and to acquire, possess and protect property; except that the ownership, inheritance, disposition and possession of real property by aliens ineligible for citizenship may be regulated or prohibited by law. No person shall be deprived of any right because of race, religion, national origin, or physical disability.
The U.S. Constitution
Fifth Amendment
“No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law.”
The Fourteenth Amendment
“No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
He should have done what he promised to do, get her out of that Scientology hellhole and into a nursing home that would have provided care for the girl. The state police could have done that simply and easily. I was there. It was a circus. Thousands were camped on the streets demanding Terry's release from that prison.
The direct influence of the Church of Scientology has not been discussed here. Greer and Schaivo were members of that cult. Under the rubric of that demonic cult Terry was considered a useless feeder and unworthy to live. The nursing home was owned by the cult. Clearwater, where the nursing home is located, is their world headquarters. This was a cult murder in which the Bush boys, in the final analysis, were complicit.
