BOTH Bushes telegraphed yesterday they would act unilaterally.
The Supreme Court has called their bluff.
The last one to do that was Saddam Hussein.
I'd love to see those judges crawl into a spider hole! Then we'll try them for crimes against humanity...just like Saddam.
When did President George W Bush say he would act on his own yesterday?
Yet, neither have. What was the purpose of Jeb's press conference yesterday?
I'm hearing (on talk radio) a backlash against this lack of action.
Buchanan on Hardball- Send In Federal Marshalls to Save Shiavo
Schiavo Spokesman Randall Terry calls for Gov. Bush to use Constitutional .. Gov. appears unwilling!
Keyes- 'Jeb Bush has the authority' to save Terri
I still think GW could act to enforce the Congressional subpoenas, pursuant to 18 USC 1505--
Whoever corruptly, or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication influences, obstructs, or impedes or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede the due and proper administration of the law under which any pending proceeding is being had before any department or agency of the United States, or the due and proper exercise of the power of inquiry under which any inquiry or investigation is being had by either House, or any committee of either House or any joint committee of the Congress -
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both." President Bush is entitled to enforce this felony statute. I think he should, and no sheriffs are going to stand up to US Marshalls. Jeb has a bigger problem, because now he has to violate an order from Greer in order to save Terri. He can do it legally, because Greer's order exceeds his authority, but it makes it problematic.
