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.”
Don’t think I am being sassy here, but I have a question.
The courts have the power to take innocent life at will and we don’t see governors and presidents over ruling the courts. The Federal and State courts are always violating the constitution, naming it a “living constitution.” Why don’t Governors and Presidents over rule them if they have that power?
