Klayman and Keyes to Ask Governor Bush to Grant "Pardon" to Terri Schiavo Contact: The Klayman Law Firm, 305-577-8944 MIAMI, March 23 /Christian Wire Service/ -- Larry Klayman, former Chairman of Judicial Watch and 2004 U.S. Senate Candidate in Florida and owner of The Klayman Law Firm, and Alan Keyes, former Presidential Candidate, are asking Florida Governor Jeb Bush to use the powers he has been granted by the citizens of the state of Florida, under its Constitution, to save Terri Schiavo's life. |

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.

This has already been attempted, and the Bushes say "No."
Were Jeb in charge on Dec. 26, 1776, we would have never even crossed the Delaware, much less fought on!
I pray no person ever has "supreme executive power" in this country.
You have to defer to the judicial process until it has exhausted every avenue to correct its own mistakes. And then...
I am hopeful, and prayerful, that this will done today.
Prayer can work wonders.
Blessings to you both on this Holy Thursday.
You make an interesting point...
It just seems bizarre that the police would block somebody from giving somebody a drink of water...
It was unbelievable seeing those children handcuffed by L.E.
It seems our legal system is failing so many people so many times...how long before it ultimately fails?
My chills and shivers come from the word "supreme" combined with "executive power". I have no problem with the latter alone. I do with the combination.
If I were offered the governorship of any state, Florida would be at the bottom of my list due to the court system in place there. There seems to be an inordinate amount of crisis' from that state. Jeb Bush is powerless other than to break Florida law as mandated by his courts. I don't think he has aspirations for the presidency but would like to see him run for Congress.
I wish his listeners would boycott Boortz and force him off the air because of low ratings. I never listen to him, don't believe much he says.
GWB's pardon power applies only in federal cases.
that's a little harsh isn't it??? These individuals are keeping Terri's name alive by constantly reporting to millions of listeners the gravity of the situation?
CONTACT JEB BUSH HERE:
E-mail: jeb.bush@myflorida.com
Telephone: 850/488-4441
Fax: 850/487-0801
He has tried before, the last time the feeding tube was in...and removed. His intervention was struck down by the US Supreme Court, I believe.
I'm thinking that these guys (Jeb Bush, 11th Circus appeal judges, congress critters, ect...)are trying too hard to "follow the letter of the law" for fear of having their actions struck down once again in the high courts, or being sued by M. Shiavo.
Very telling, especially during this Easter Triduum Jay? You bet! It's all too familiar. But I think there is more than one Pontius Pilate this time around.
This is clearly a case when "morals" and "the law" are polar opposites.
A spark of hope. I could not get through to Governor Jeb Bush's #, so I called 1-850-488-5000 (Governor's Legislative Affairs Office) and said that Governor Bush has to put Terri in protective custody NOW. They said they agreed with me, and are working on it. I told them they better hurry up; this woman is going to die.
Please call the # (1-850-488-5000), AND Governor Jeb Bush, if you can get through, or send a FAX, and tell them to please expedite, a woman is dying. Pro-death Judge Greer ordered police throughout the state not to intervene. Bully!!
We have THREE judicial branches, and they are all equal; they should not let only ONE branch rule.
Here's an e-mail I justed received from RightMarch.com, and if anyone has a fax, that might be an easier way to get through to the Bushes. Fax # listed below. If you can't get through by phone, a fax is better than and e-mail, because papers will pile up.
So here's my info from RightMarch.com:
"This is OUTRAGEOUS. Governor Bush needs to step up to
the plate NOW, and exercise his constitutional and legal
authority NOW, before Terri dies. But he doesn't seem
to be willing to take that chance and do it... so we
thought we should help encourage him.
So once more, we need YOUR help.
We need EVERYONE READING THIS EMAIL to call Governor
Jeb Bush RIGHT AWAY, and ask him to do one simple thing:
"PLEASE EXERCISE YOUR LEGAL AUTHORITY, AND TAKE
TERRI SCHIAVO INTO PROTECTIVE CUSTODY RIGHT AWAY."
That's all we're asking you to do. Just call Gov. Bush
NOW and beg him to save Terri's life.
TAKE ACTION: PLEASE call Governor Jeb Bush's office NOW
at 850-488-4441 (or fax him at 850-487-0801), asking him
to exercise the executive powers he ALREADY HAS, and take
custody of Terri Schiavo to save her from being starved
to death.
We've already met one-on-one with Gov. Bush's General Counsel
lawyers, showing them point-by-point exactly why the Governor
DOES have those powers right NOW. On Thursday, we're also
bringing in Alan Keyes and Larry Klayman to try to meet with
the Governor and urge him to take Terri into protective
custody. Call Gov. Bush NOW and ask him to USE his legal
powers to save Terri's life. You can also e-mail him at
jeb@myflorida.com .
You can also call his brother, President George W. Bush, at
202-456-1414 (or fax him at 202-456-2461). Leave a message
for him that he AND his brother both have the authority to
use the police services at their disposal to take Terri into
protective custody, restore her food and hydration, and
arrest anyone who would interfere. You can also e-mail him
at president@whitehouse.gov .
For the sake of Terri's life, we CANNOT afford to wait while
the courts bicker over jurisdiction -- and we CANNOT let
little two-bit judges order the Executive branch to not do
their duty."
