The 14th Amendment essentially extends the protections of the Federal Bill of Rights, including due process of law, to the states. I will defer to your understanding of the amendment, although I am not aware of any implementing legislation. However, all the tools needed to remove Terri Schiavo from imminent death are available to Governor Jeb Bush. He only needs to exercise them. Had he done so, there would have been no need for Federal intervention.

Jeb Bush is after all just a politician. He is more concerned with his own image and career that he is in an issue like this. He will do a lot of talking and posturing, but it is naive to expect anything else from him.
