I hate to break this to you, but presidential pardons are limited to federal criminals, not those who suffer the misfortune to be denied personhood by some state judge, and thence ordered to die. Judge George Greer is the only one who could pardon Terri Schiavo. Bush constitutionally could declare the State of Florda to have engaged in insurrection against the Union and order a military occupation to suppress the insurrection. Governor Jeb Bush, for his part, can do nothing, for Judge George Greer, the Law in the State of Florida, has forbidden him.

I understand, but terri has been sentenced to die by a judge and the judicial system, not unlike a criminal. What's worse, is she has not had legal representation, and there is EXTREME REASONABLE DOUBT in this case as to her wishes.

I don't care what the "law" says, I sent it anyway.

Isn't there some merit, albeit weird, to the notion that Judge Greer has declared Terri a criminal by his order to have her executed?

"Governor Jeb Bush, for his part, can do nothing, for Judge George Greer, the Law in the State of Florida, has forbidden him."

Jeb Bush can declare that he has vast evidence that Terri Schiavo's civil rights are being violated by the very courts established to protect them. Then he brings that proclamation to the hospice with a hundred or so heavily armed FBI, State Police and the National Guard and takes Terri Schiavo to a hospital. Then he begins the FULL, ENTIRE, investigation, and airs it publicly to the whole nation. Replete with the several physicians' reports that declare Terri Schiavo is NOT in a PVS, and by showing the videos of Terri responding to various stimuli.

To believe that the Judiciary have found a way to conquer our Constitutional freedoms by legally binding our hands is absurd. As another Freeper pointed out, Bill Clinton had the guts to send in federal troops to remove Elian Gonzales, the liberals, to their credit, at least have the guts to go after their agenda. Now is the time for conservative politicians to find their courage and do the right thing.

BUT: Gov. Bush could send in the guard, then if he is deemed to have broken any law, his brother Pres Bush could pardon him.

HMMMM?
