If people hadn't pressured him through public criticism, if people hadn't held his feet to the fire, if people hadn't shown him that they were watching and did not approve, would he have done anything? Would he have stuck with it or would he have just said, 'It's out of my hands. It's up to the courts.' which was his initial stand. Would he have done the right thing even it no one was watching? We'll never know. As far as I can tell he is just a politician that responded to public pressure. He has only done what he should have done, and perhaps too late at that. He deserves no apologies.

Unless I am mistaken, Bush did act on the girl's behalf, only to be slapped down by the Judge. I dont believe he responded to public pressure, because it was coming from both sides. I believe that when Bush said there was nothing he could do, he was telling the truth. When he was given a method for taking action, he did. What that tells me, is that Bush follows the law. What more can you ask from a Conservative?
