And if he coyboyed up, what do you think the courts would do?

Even if he rescued her, how long does it take her case to end up back in the courts? Four days? A week? And as much as we would all love to see Jeb or someone tell the courts where to stick it, does it really save Terri in the long run or just prolong this fiasco of judicial tyranny?

It's a power struggle now, as is evident by the rulings and the behavior of the courts this week. Terri's dad was right, Judge Greer is flexing his muscles and is determined to kill Terri - the hell with the evidence. And the good ole boy network of judges is going to back him all the way as they don't like anyone challenging the authority of the judiciary - evidence is irrelevant to judges who think they are God. So if Jeb challenges their authority by rescuing Terri, how do you think the judiciary in Florida is going to react when her case ends up right back in the courts - and it will? Do you think they will look at new evidence? They're not looking at it now.

I understand your frustration, but the problem is deeper and very ingrained in our society when most Americans believe the judicial system should be the final word - that guarantees a corrupt judiciary.

The courts have to be reigned in by legal channels. Such as, in this case, ONE JUDGE should NEVER be allowed to sentence an innocent disabled woman on heresay evidence. There are laws that can be passed to prevent this fiasco from happening again, and we have to work for and demand laws that reign in the jucidial tyranny of the courts.

He rescues her -- she shows life and a will-to-live. She may in fact die in custody -- but just to have her in loving non-murderous hands would be worth it to her and to all who love life.

The likelyhood, imo, is that her intentions will be evident and will be recorded by video, audio and more reliable witnesses than the evil Greer has allowed.

Trust in Providence.

I couldn't agree more, except with one exception. The law should state that NO judge should be allowed to do this. A jury trial should be required, and if there is a hung jury, the person should live.

No disrespect, but you make my point for me. Someone must tell the Judges you go this far and no further. Let them bang their gavels all they want. Court Orders are useless unless they are capable of being enforced. As Stalin once said of the Pope when he was chastised "How many divisions does he have?".

I agree on the dynasty thing but it is a moot point now. The Judiciary must be faced up to and Jeb has proven he is not the man to do it.
