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.

Agreed. Jeb needs to so something fast. We know how the judge is going to rule, unless, there's a miracle he'll never rule in favor of Terri.
You're right. They should act more like Clinton in this case and send the federal agents to retrieve Terri. Clinton and Reno had no problem sending them to snatch Elian Gonzalez at gunpoint to the delight and cheers of so many.
And it was during Easter as well.
Right! And we all know what happened to them as a result...
NOTHING!
Yep.
They could do whatever they wanted; with no fear of consequences, for they had the slimebag "elites" on their side...and what about Waco?!
I think the real tragedy is that she can be sentenced to death even though she has committed no crime.
Help Terri, get a pardon... Jeb Bush should publicly state that he will be extending a pardon to anyone who is charged with violating the judges order for providing food, water, care, etc. to this resident of his state - and in effect, turn this judge's order into a toothless tiger, ie. rendering this judge's 'order' void.
Jeb Bush needs more courage.
All: Terri once said: "Where there's life, there's hope."
Call Jeb Bush and ask him to use his executive powers to save Terri, and fight the judicial tyranny by Florida's pro-death Judge Greer (who is a RINO). Governor Bush's number is: 1-850-488-5000. Jeb's e-mail is: jeb.bush@myflorida.com
If Terri doesn't survive, you will at least know you did your part.
If she DOES get rescued, you will know tht you were a part of it.
