The President's pardon power is NOT limited to Federal offenses. Yes it is.

The President Bush should order in federal marshalls and the next President could pardon GW. On second thought that might be risky...

So then why are you so sure she "died in 1990"?

You mean Greer could retrieve her from a military-base hospital or the Vatican? If they go to the effort of saving her, they must remove her from Florida as well.

"Isn't Newsmax supposed to be a somewhat legit publication"

Not as far as I can tell...if I notice an article comes from Newsmax, I just skip it. They are invariably alarmist, I guess it sells.

I am just flattened by the thought that Judge Greer, the fat little lower-case purblind moron, can order a woman starved to derath.

Order it!!

In this country! I can't stand it. I hope this creates the world's biggest backlash.

If somebody dares to ask me to contribute to preserving whales or any like cause I will knock them down.

I hate to tell you this, but if she dies there in his state, Jeb's political future is in real trouble.

I honestly believe Governor Bush has tried very hard to help Terri.

Guess you didn't hear all the hue and cry over the past 60 years: why didn't the Germans stop Hitler?

Actually some Germans tried to stop Hitler. Bonhoeffer and his followers intended to stop Hitler. He determined that he had a moral duty to stop him. But he was found out and executed.

Furthermore!!

He ORDERS it and all the nurses and doctors and poliemen and representatives of the people say Yes sir, Yes sir, groveling and bowing. We'll sure starve her to death, yes sir. Yes your Majesty. Your wish is our command, sir. Order us to kill some Jews? Yes sir, whatever you say sir.

Sorry. I have been unable to listen to news or read a paper----

the worst is all the little obedient functionaries withholding water and food, doing as they are told.

This sounds a little extreme and far-fetched.

I'm not 'sure' of anything. Are you?

"You mean Greer could retrieve her from a military-base hospital or the Vatican? If they go to the effort of saving her, they must remove her from Florida as well."

Even moving her to Guantanamo wouldn't help. I belive the federal courts have ruled that they can affect things that happen even there. Any where the federal courts have jurisdiction would result any number of charges, assault, kidnapping, contempt of court, etc. A resourceful judge could generate 20 or 30 charges in a few minutes.

Would there be controversy? You bet. Would the Bush family's political enemies try to capitalize? Absolutely.

But a nation that forgives one president for pardoning terrorists will certainly forgive another who uses his pardon power to save a life.

Well I think the nation has more forgotten than forgiven Clinton for pardoning terrorists. Most people probably didn't even know that Clinton did pardon terrorists in the first place.

The media would be sure to cook up a firestorm over this (while they practically ignored the terrorist/pardon story) and would try hard to keep it stoked up.

But ultimately, I think NewsMax is right here: The people would forgive -- those who didn't approve in the first place.

I agree. I can't believe people are turning on Jeb.

Well if you're not sure, then why do you want her to die? I'm not sure either, but I want her to live with her family.

If we want to be thrown out of control of the Senate and White House, we should definitely pursue this ridiculous idea.

Yeah, keeping GOP control of the Senate is worth starving the occasional disabled person to death.

Excellent thread I just got through saying almost the same thing on another thread. I think you have got it. Besides I want to meet the guy who tries to slide handcuffs on Jeb.
