Klayman and Keyes to Ask Governor Bush to Grant "Pardon" to Terri Schiavo
Use of Executive Power Appropriate Under the Circumstances

To: National Desk

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.

Larry Klayman stated, "Since Governor Jeb Bush is the supreme executive power of the state of Florida, he has the right and duty to step in and, in effect, pardon Terri Schiavo from the death sentence that has been unduly placed upon her by the court system."

The Schiavo case presents a vacuum for the judicial system -- because it failed to act to save Terri's life -- and Klayman and Keyes and all
Americans that want to see justice done would like for that vacuum to be filled before it is too late.

Larry Klayman will be meeting with the General Counsel to Governor Jeb Bush at 2:00 PM, today. During this meeting, he will lay out the legal justification for Governor Jeb Bush to act, and in so doing, will present what is in effect a legal brief prepared by Alan Keyes and approved by Klayman. In addition, Klayman will request a meeting with Governor Jeb Bush, which he and Alan Keyes would attend. Klayman will stress that time is of the essence, that Terri can die at any moment.

Larry Klayman represents RightMarch.com and Declaration Alliance, which has been very active in supporting life for Terri Schiavo.

Keyes: 'Jeb Bush has the authority' to save Terri
Decries judicial arrogance in appearance on Hannity Show

March 24, 2005
RenewAmerica staff




On Wednesday, Mar. 23, Alan Keyes told Sean Hannity that Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is authorized by the Florida and national constitutions to intervene and spare brain-damaged Terri Schiavo from starvation.

"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.

I was thinking the same thing but a pardon from President Bush would be better. Great idea nonetheless.

Good idea, but 1) it is getting too late for this long starved woman.
2) They already chose to grovel at the Mullahs ... and lost.

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.

Go get here.

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...

Jeb's wife is a devout Catholic with a great devotion to our Lady of Guadalupe. She went to the Shrine during the Bush v Gore fiasco of 2000, the decision came on Dec. 12; the feast day. Hopefully she can push Jeb to save Terri.

Actually I think Sean and Rush have done more for Terri than a lot of these congressman and senators.

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!

Gov. Jeb Bush has had the authority to save Terri all along. He has dragged it out and sonn it will be too late.

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.

A lot of people are paying attention to this unfortunate chain of events. One might say it is the latest American soap opera. As such the natural reaction is that there has to be a heavy (someone to blame) in the end. I'm of the opinion, right or wrong, it will be Jeb Bush. It's unfortunate because I believe he is a more a victim of circumstance than most people believe.

Thank you, Dr. Keyes.

I'm glad to see a national figure has finally brought the Executive Order option to the fore.

As far as I know, he can’t give a pardon since she has committed no crime.

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.
