"We are not in any position to safely "abuse" our power, however much or little we have. Jeb is."

I don't for one minute think he could defy the courts "safely". Law enforcement already stated they would follow the edict of the courts and not orders from the governor. Without the law to back him up what do think he would be able to do with Terri? Hide her in his garage? How long could they keep her before she was taken back to hospice and this process was begun again?

And even so, is that the criteria? Is everyone looking for someone to who can do this "safely" so we don't have to stick our own necks out and wind up in trouble over it? We each have our own reasons for not taking this past the legal limits. It's easy to blame others for not doing what you yourself are not willing to do. I don't think it accomplishes anything for us to eat our own and I believe that Terri Shiavo would not be undergoing death by starvation if Jeb Bush had the final say. He is not the enemy.
