Sadly, the floriduh governor is purely a political animal and will not regret his cowardly behavior because it will never occur to him that he was acting cowardly. Beyond Terri, his actions have empowered the already out of control judiciary.

Beyond Terri, his actions have empowered the already out of control judiciary.

Look at how the local Police Chief stood down the Governor's rescue team -- acting at the say-so of ONE LOCAL Judge, the whole STATE is brought to abide a murder and carry it out.

Jeb has just shredded much of the rightful authority of the Governor's Office, and surrendered it to rogues.

It will be a DREAD precedent that gains momentum, unless Jeb acts or resigns to give the next man room to act.

Full disclosure: I'm of the group that believes Jeb Bush essentially caved until political pressure here. He held a news conference to essentially say, I can go in and get her, then didn't. There have been plenty of legal types quoted who have said that yes, he does in fact, have the authority to act to remove Terri.

I'm not trying to start an argument, but for the ones who keep saying "he tried, he's done all he can, he's done more than most", etc. Exactly what has he done? I'm not being flippant, I just really don't see what he did, as governor, to prevent Terri's fate. What did he do over and above what her lawyers could have done w/o him?
