Gov Bush has nothing to lose by taking some executive action. He cannot run for reelection and he says he does not want to run for president. Even if he were going to run for some office in the future I would think he would let his conscience dictate what he should do. I hope he has the courage to do what is right.
President Bush has already shown himself to be fearless, I would say, as far as taking actions that are risky and potentially very unpopular. But I don't know how much he can do in this case.
I just saw that lovely concentration camp survivor arrested for trying to take water to Terri. The police officers sure did not seem to be thrilled with their own involvement there, they looked conflicted.
