"They passed a law explicitly endorsing the notion of the Governor of Florida ordering her life saved by executive order."

So the legislature explicitly endorsed the notion of the governor, ordering her life saved by executive order.

That's nice.

It would seem the the governor is not taking the notion to heart.

I guess my next question (thanks for asking) would be ... what's next, or would you rather I Google?

Well, actually, to fill you in on these historical facts: The Governor took it to heart just fine, but then the Florida Supreme Court struck down the law as "unconstitutional".

Which brings us back to the premise of the article at the top of this thread: How does executive power stack against judicial? The article is asserting that executive need not bow down without exception.

What's next, I suspect, is that Terri will continue to be starved until she is dead, and most of our polity will continue to subscribe to the view of black-robed judges as our masters whose say is final.

The point of the article was to say that Jeb Bush ought not to let that happen, and in a perfect world, he wouldn't, and in the original vision of our government, he'd be well within his power to do something. I agree with that article. And it sounds like you do too. So, we all agree.

Anything else?
