"Even when "the right thing" would mean doing something that he does not have the legal power to do?"

Do you really believe that Jeb Bush doesn't have the power declare that Terri Schiavo's civil and religious rights are being violated? Hell, the 'judge' just refused her Easter Sunday Communion as she lays dying. THAT is a gross violation of her religious rights. All Jeb needs do is publicly declare that he is going to keep Terri Schiavo alive and investigate the possible violations of her civil and religious rights in the meantime, (just like Bill Clinton did with Elian Gonzales).

The local police will not stand up to 50 armed State Troopers, a hundred or so National Guardsmen, and the Governor of Florida's proclamation. Jeb Bush can find out if it's legal or not AFTER he saves Terri Schiavo. For right now just save this poor girl's life and worry about yourself later. There is a higher law that we all have to obey, and standing around watching a backwards county judge deliberately murder a disabled woman is the most shameful, disgraceful sight I've ever witnessed in my life.

Maybe Dubya could soften up the local cops with air stikes first. That's just nuts. America is not going to support the Federal Government taking out local police officers. This is a prescription for Dubya's impeachment.
