Jeb Bush Wimping Out in Schiavo Case?
NewsMax ^ | 10/17/03 | Limbacher

Posted on 10/17/2003 9:20:22 AM PDT by Tumbleweed_Connection

Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Thursday that his legal team has been unable to find a basis for him to intervene in the case of Terri Schiavo, who is expected to starve to death as soon as this weekend after her feeding tube was removed at the direction of her husband yesterday.

"The legal office has been talking to people trying to find some strategy where my office can intervene in a different fashion that will yield a different result," Bush said Thursday. "So far we have not found that option."

Gov. Bush's comments came before Schiavo's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, met with him privately to present a letter from Florida's Thomas More Law Center citing a legal basis for the state to intervene to stop what one attorney described as "the execution of Terri Schiavo."

"We're waiting to hear from Gov. Bush" on the Thomas More letter, Mr. Schindler told national talk radio host Sean Hannity Thursday afternoon. Schindler said Gov. Bush's response is "probably is our last hope."

By Friday morning, Bush's office gave no hint that he had reached a decision. Thursday night Mr. Schindler told Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes" that his daughter could die as early as this weekend if medical staff begin administering morphine to counter the pain of her starvation.

The Republican governor's caution over the legal technicalities of the case stands in marked contrast to the actions of Democrats, who often take a shoot-first-and-ask-questions-later approach when an issue of importance hangs in the balance.

In April 2000, for instance, the Clinton administration didn't let the law interfere with its plan to return 6-year-old boat boy Elian Gonzalez to Castro's Cuba. Instead of waiting for Gonzalez's legal case to play out in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, Attorney General Janet Reno executed White House plans to have the boy kidnapped from the home of his Miami relatives at machine gunpoint.

Normally Clinton-friendly legal powerhouse attorneys Alan Dershowitz and Lawrence Tribe were horrified, publicly condemning the raid as unconstitutional.

Gov. Bush reaction? He called the action "unconscionable" but showed no interest in pursuing legal sanctions against the White House.

When Republicans in Congress called for a congressional investigation into the Clinton administration's abuse of power in the Elian case, top aides to then-presidential candidate George Bush derailed the idea.

"A top Republican Party official told The Daily News that Bush campaign manager Joe Allbaugh informed Senate Republicans on Thursday that the candidate wanted the hearings scrapped because the issue is a political loser," reported the New York paper a week after the raid.

As it turned out, voter backlash over the Elian raid among Florida's Cuban-American community gave President Bush his razor thin margin of victory in the 2000 election.

"he needs to act, and whatever action in this case he does, he needs to do it fast"



If Jeb continues to sit on his hands like a craven statue while poor Terri dies of thirst and hunger,
#1 He's lost my vote forever.
#2 He will go down in history as a weak, spirtless, and cowardly "pretender" to the office of Governor. He will show everyone that he doesn't possess the internal fortitude to lead a State, let alone run for President, and that his pretensions to defend innocent life are just a whole lot of hot air.

Explain exactly what Governor Bush can legally do.

GRANT A STAY OF EXECUTION!! The court sentences death but, the Governor can grant a stay for appeals, etc. Also, I don't remember of any prisoner being starved - they can order what they want for their last meal.

We all know that Governor Bush can kiss any political future goodby but, just curious now, was President Bush's trip planned before or did it just come up. He was in the country Thursday as he spent the day in California. I'm sure he is aware of all the E-Mails and calls directed to him concerning Terri.

I have been a staunch Republican for years but, I am begining to think the party is losing courage and is not willing to fight for principal or rights. Just bend in the wind.

The only comforting thoughts I have is that Terri will soon be in the arms of God and all of these people responsible for her death will have to stand before the same God to be judged. Oh, that he allows Terri to name the punishment!

I am not in need of your sympathy.

I have a position on this issue and I believe it is balanced.

Your empathy (understandable) regarding this girl and the protestations of her family is blinding your ability to see both sides of the issue. IMO.

I am not here to convince you however. Just to re-start the thinking process ans opposed to emotional knee jerk.

Which is precisely what the girls family and her supporters are trying to do and quite successfully I might add.

And if it happens, I wonder just how far behind can be God's judgment on our nation?

Revelation 6:10

And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

Please explain just how I am confused. I, along with
many others, are terribly upset at what is happening
to Terri. She has become a member of all our families.

There is no justice in this case, the husband wants
her dead and the judge is playing God. Jeb Bush,
even since it has been proven he can intercede, is just
plain useless!

When you cannot eat or drink, walk, talk, read or watch TV, communicate with your loved ones for over 10 years...and in order to maintain this horrible existance a feeding tube needs to be shoved down your throat...and you can't even go to the bathroom, somebody has to wipe your butt daily....you tell me how humane it is to keep a person stuck in this state for as long as the machines can keep them alive. That's cruel.

So it's ok to kill anyone who can't do certain things, or are in what you consider a "wretched condition"? Quadriplegics, the disabled, mentally retarded, etc? What if they want to live? You see, in this case, Terri's parents and many of us do not believe she wants to die, and all we have is the 'word' of her husband - the same husband who is living with another woman, and who will gain financially when Terri dies, and who has been quoted as saying "when is that b**ch going to die?"

Let me ask you, do you believe human life has intrinsic value...or do you think that we only have value and rights if we can do certain things, such as walk, etc? I'm going to post a quote by Mother Theresa.

Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign."

This is not an execution, i.e. putting to death as a legal penalty. Just because you view it as such does not make it so.

Food and water is not "artificial means"

Would you call being feed day after day for 13 years by a machine with a tube stuck down your throat, natural?

Of course not.

And the court certainly decided it was "artificial means" in allowing it to be removed.
Rather than have it continue to sustain this woman in a permanent vegetative state with no hope of recovery.

The entire situation is a terrible one and there are no easy answers.

This is the second time I've had to contradict someone who thinks it was "down her throat." It was in her stomach. Please familiarize yourself with the details of the case before you write dumb things.

Food and water is certainly more natural than starvation and dehydration.

Terri did have a swollowing test done several years ago. From what I understand, the last time she was tested was when the lawsuit was initially started several years ago.

A nurse on the AOL Message board insists that a swallowing test is REQUIRED BY LAW every 6 months if you have a feeding tube and I KNEW Terri had not been getting them,

Kangaroo courts and the Executive Power / Terri's will to live
10/18/03 -- Jeb's Emails to FR poster, summer, today, re: Terri. (And, a Message to Michael Shiavo)

To: Lawdoc; dixiegrrl; supercat; Pegita

Rumours have been flying aroun the internet and people are getting things mixed up. This summary on one page seems to be the most accurate.

"Judge George Greer: Ruler of the Kangaroo Court set on killing Terri Schiavo. Impartial? Not in the least! Worked side by side as county commissioner with Barbara Sheen Todd (county commissioner) for eight YEARS. Barbara Sheen Todd is on the board of the hospice. Also, Judge Greer's fellow judge, Judge John Lenderman is the brother of Martha Lenderman (also on the hospice board! See the Hospice Board members! Greer accepted as the basis of his rulings, the questionable testimony of Michael Schiavo (and his family) that Terri would wish to be killed, yet Michael never stated that before he got about a Million Dollars to care for Terri forever. Greer also accepted as the basis of his rulings, the "opinion" of a third doctor who just happens to be the brother of a close associate of George Felos, right-to-kill attorney, and very significantly, former CHAIRMAN of the hospice board! If there ever was a rigged court, Judge Greer's is it!"

Ok. Sorry. Yes she is conscious but Jeb needs to do something straightaway as she has gone without food or water since Oct. 18 at 8AM.

Jeb has the duty to uphold the laws of Florida. He has been notified that a murder is taking place in his state on his watch, to a defensless diabled person. She is being starved and dehydrated against her will, upon the false testimony that she is brain dead and wants to die. She is not either.

This is the second time I've had to contradict someone who thinks it was "down her throat." It was in her stomach.

So you call being fed by a machine through a tube in your stomach, "natural"?

No. Regardless of how you attempt to run away from the question, it is called "artificial means" and was determined to be by court.

More natural than taking it away from her so that she can starve and dehydrate to death. We don't even do that to the worst criminals on death row and you want to do it to a non-terminal disabled woman.

>>it is called "artificial means" and was determined to be by court.

A corrupt court.

Do you know there are thousands of people being fed this way. Guess they better line up for the gas chambers.

No doubt Jorge would be in a hurry to get his own children in line for it if they were on feeding tubes. Too inconvenient and "unnatural" to live that way.

The judge sickens me, MShiavo sickens me, all the courts that did nothing sicken me, the media sickens me, Bush sickens me, and last but not least these people that are clapping it on sicken me to no end. I tell you we are living amongst barbarians.
