Keyes: 'Jeb Bush has the authority' to save Terri March 24, 2005
"The governor at any point has the right to intervene," said Keyes. "And if he fails to act, he is failing to do his duty." Unfortunately, Keyes noted, the courts have argued for years that "they are, in a sense, the makers of the law, and above the law, and that once they speak, nobody gets to do anything. That's not true." "I think the arrogance of the courts has become pretty normal now, and the main reason is because we've allowed certain powers, including the power of judicial review, to go unchecked." Keyes continued, "I mean, we are dealing with a branch of government that feels that there is no force in the government, whether at the state or the federal level, that can control them." "This is wrong," Keyes said, "and is destroying the integrity of our system of constitutional self-government." Alluding to the Terri Schiavo case, Keyes asked: "If the executive looks at an action by the judiciary, compares it to the requirements of the Florida constitution in this case, and finds the judiciary wanting, is the executive obliged by his oath to accept that and allow the Constitution to be harmed? Or is he obliged by his oath to defend and protect the integrity of the Constitution? I think the answer is clear." Keyes stressed that "one of the reasons, under the American system, we give executive power to a single executive--rather than to a deliberative body, or a plural executive, or some judicial-type executive (which had existed in the past)--is so that the executive can act expeditiously, and that long delay will not result in permanent and irreversible damage to the citizens or the Constitution." He urged Gov. Bush to act quickly to save Terri. To see the entire transcript, click here.

I was thinking the same thing but a pardon from President Bush would be better. Great idea nonetheless.
Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and most others are nothing but windbags. Let them make a stand like the family from Texas. Why hasn't Sean grabbed a bottle of water and headed through the police line? Because he is nothing but hot air exploiting this entire situation. Why hasn't Rush taken the EIB golden microphone to the sidewalk and broadcast live? Because he is another who is going to pump this for all it is worth on ratings and then let Terri die.
I find it interesting that 2000 years ago Pontius Pilate had the legs of all criminals (crucified before Passover) broken so they wouldn't be suffering and dying over passover.
Now we have Terri Shiavo dying, right before Easter Triduum, and what will the Florida government do?
This is telling...
They have stayed on topic.
I tuned in for a bit Tuesday to the Neal Boortz show to see what his take on the Shiavo case was. He announced that it was a Shiavo free day. That did it for me.
This is one of the most important cases of our time, and Neal takes a holiday. (Of course Neal also thought President Bush would lose the election in 2004.)
At least these guys are getting the other side out. Something the main stream media has not done.
Blessings to you!
Blessings on this Holy Thursday...
If Jeb can't save the life of an innocent woman from the likes of Judge Greer, I have no faith in his ability or willingness to protect this country. Were he ever to run for president, Terri might end up being his Mary Jo.
For some, life is just an aside.

Thank you, Dr. Keyes.

As far as I know, he can’t give a pardon since she has committed no crime.
Will it be on TV (I hope)?
Jeb the politician has waited too long. Excellent analogy. Sorry excuse for a governor.
We continue to pray for Terri today.
A lot of people AROUND THE WORLD are watching. We have lost the right to criticize human rights abuses anywhere on the planet after Terri dies.
