Not a red herring at all. I am only going on the words you used. Now you call the governor feckless? Come on, you know better than that.

What I am trying to point out to you and others, is that there are times where the law does not always work in our favor, but we are still bound by those laws. Just as in the case of the Ten Commandments removal from that courthouse, where most of us did not agree with the Judge's ruling.

We cannot ask one officer of the law, to directly oppose another officer of the law. A ruling is in effect. There have been multiple unsuccessful appeals against that ruling. Now, some of you would have the Governor step in, in direct violation of settled law, to impose your wishes.

This is where societies break down. I have read threads suggesting Jury nulification and other actions as a result of this, as though Conservatives have decided that the law is something to adhere to only when we agree with it.

Having an opinion, rightly or wrongly, is not enough to change legal rulings, much less enough to call the governor a murderer as some here have done.

Why not put our anger and outrage to constructive use, instead of attacking the few allies in government that we have? Why not insist that the Florida legislature creates laws preventing more incidents like this from taking place? Instead, the very people who have the power to prevent this from happening again are being subjected to the silliest of attacks.

I would not expect much assistance from someone I called a murderer, but maybe that's just me? It is time for a sanity check, people.

So, if we don't stop pushing for governor bush to save this woman from a cruel and unusuaul and unconstitutional (the governor's amicus would help you to catch that one) death then society will break down ... I suppose just the way it did when sinkEmperor and clinton kidnapped Elian and sent him back to Castroland. Sorry, I'm not buying what you're peddling. I'll leave these threads alone now ... wouldn't want to sully the sparkling image of the governor of Floriduh, don'tcha know.
