Who Can intervene in civil cases?

An appeals court. Apparently they have not, and are not, doing so.

This is a horrible situation, but Jeb Bush clearly has no authority to intervene.

It would be a political bonanza for him if he did so.

Can an appeals court reverse itself and decide to intervene? Would it be a waste of time to contact the appeals court to ask them to intervene?

Appeals courts are bound by trial courts' findings of facts. If Terri were to get up in front of the trial court and dance a jig, and Felos responded by having Doctor Nick Riviera testify that it was just a "reflex" and Terri was in fact vegetative, then if Judge Greer delcared Terri vegetative an appeals court would not be allowed to question that.
