Jeb Bush could use that technicality or innumerable others, to stop this insanity and get Terri to safe harbor.
He won't do it.
We are all very glad Terri's no longer being starved and dehydrated, but not all of us call what Jeb did "leadership."
He passed the buck to the legislature. C* h* b* instead of taking a firm stand and let come what may. To the good, Terri's out of immediate danger of starvation, and the media is paying better attention. Not to the good, she remains at the mercy of Michael Schiavo and his wacko lawyer and a biased judge.
Jeb could have ordered protective services---or law enforcement---to take custody of her, under law both state and federal, in his capacity as executive. And let the dogs bark while her caravan rolled to safety.
Timid half-measures won't save her or his career. Flame away. He's no champion of the disabled in my book.

I hope you didn't interpret my post as beating the drum for Bush.

If the devi's have their way with Terri, he'll get no "E" for effort from me.

In this case, failure is not an option.

Yup. By being timid, cowardly, and half-hearted, he gets the worst of both worlds -- he delivers a less-than complete resolution to Terri's crisis, and, he gets hammered by the democrats just as hard as he he would have if he'd taken charge and done the right thing.

When, when WHEN will the Country Club Gentlemen of the GOP grow a set?

Never, I fear.
