The reason is that so many people say that Gov. Bush should have done more and he didn't do enough, and this article shows that he is going above and beyond, leaving no stone unturned to save Terri.
With so many posts, if I posted it to another thread, a lot of people would miss it, and I think Gov. Bush deserves that people know how hard he is trying to save Terri.
I share his frustration.
I want to know why the courts are free to ignore the authority of the legislature, the U.S. Congress & the executive branch, while the governor for some reason feel obligated to kowtow to the courts.
Some people just don't feel normal if they aren't bitching. Jeb is doing all he can, bottom line.
Can't he send in police or National Guards to save her? This is a ligfe in danger because of judicial activism! She will die if he does nothing!
i don't have any issue with either president bush or governor bush on this. they've done more than others in their place would have done.
but i find the death of this woman disgusting.
i cannot believe that our country is so mean-spirited (to use a democrat term).
I only hope that regarless of how the Schiavo issue is resolved. that the governor will take it upon himself to force some changes in his state's corrections and law enforcement departments. Maybe he can prevent some future child molester from being paroled, or if paroled then at least keep track of the molester's whereabouts. That might keep some future 9 year old girl from being abducted, assaulted for a day or two, and then buried a few hundred yards from her own bedroom.
Bush is like the Schindlers....there is nothing going to come through the courts and time is growing shorter. He must ACT and not rely on a court.He can if he will
Greer should be held in contempt of Congress and is violating the law by not holding a de novo review of the case
"The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. "
They watched a woman "starve to death"...legally
I wish I'd kept a ping list for this one.
Well, well, well...ping.
I'll admit I've been emotional and yelled at a few people because I cannot understand how ANYONE would advocate death. I can understand lashing out in frustration at not being able to stop an innocent's woman Death by decree of the Judiciary.
But Jeb Bush and the President are not the enemies. Terri's family has stated they have no doubt he'd help if he could. perhaps they need to consider why they are on the opposite side of the most affected members.
Jeb Bush is a wimp, just like his father and brother.
OH, puhleeeze, Governer. Don't go there. You do have the power and many of us understand THAT including you. You had the power to do somehing about this LOG, LOG ago. And you know it.
Sorry, FO, the Governer waited to long to begin TURNING the STONES. He's got one more big one he can overturn, but won't.
Most people forget about the power of the Sheriff.
A growing number of concerned, alarmed, and dismayed individuals, as well as groups, are becoming aware of a dangerous move to ELIMINATE LOCAL COUNTY SHERIFFS' OFFICES and LOCAL law enforcement. The tradition of local government emphasizes the importance of local sheriffs as the SUPREME AUTHORITY in the counties. That is why the sheriff is elected by the people, not appointed. The county sheriff, as the only elected law enforcement position in the county, and holding this traditional position of high authority, can step in to uphold his duties of protecting the people of his county. A sheriff is a part of our system of checks and balances so that government cannot misuse its authority. Local sheriffs MUST NOT abdicate their authority or duties to ANYONE (judges, government, county commissioners, local chieftains etc.) except TO THE CONSTITUENTS THEY SERVE as a proper functionary of local county government. That is why the sheriff is elected by the people, not appointed to become a mouthpiece, instrument, or representative of the Federal Government or any of its agencies.
You knew, of course, that the thundering herd of Jeb trashers would pounce.
That the very man who has kept Terri alive is suddenly to be the man to be villified seems to be a popular pastime around here.
Hands tied? Bull! He has the state police at his disposal. And even the national guard.
Bush is so intent on getting the feeding tube in they are overlooking the fact that she may be able to take nourishment by mouth. She is swallowing saliva and we don't know that she can't handle nourishment by mouth because Greer and Michael have prevented any attempts. She has the basic human right to try. Has anyone attempted to challenge Greer on this? If Greer exceeded his authority and violated her basic human rights in his zeal to kill her then the Governor has every right and obligation to step in and stop this judicial abuse of her human rights and he can do it right now. The problem seems to be he wants the courts permission to do the right thing but he isn't going to get it.
I am SICK of the bashing of this compassionate, brave man!
Thank You, Lord for Governor Bush and President Bush, who both stand STRONG for a culture of life!
