I think Jeb would be subject to major attacks by the left if he did something outside of the law.

Impeachment is but one example. They wouldn't miss an opportunity like this. They would make every attempt to paint the republicans as lawless and telling them that we are trying to take over the country. It would be very effective and we would be damaged for a very long time. It would turn back the progress we have made. It would seriously damage the President. That political capital he has? It would be gone.

He could face criminal prosecution and subsequent damage to his reputation and that of the entire Bush family.

Other countries would ask why we are trying so hard to establish democracy and the rule of law in other countries, when we don't follow the rule of law ourselves. Our credibility would go down the drain. Reversal of the process of democracy in the middle east can occur.

Think of it, any third world dictator would watch the President of the United States and his brother disregard our laws. What do you think they would do? Ignore the rule of law in their own countries. That's what they would do.

That's enough, but I could go on.

Remember that public opinion polls are all coming up with the same result. Around 60 percent of respondents say that they would NOT be in favor of Jeb intervening in this fashion.

Why am I sure the polls are correct? Take a good look at our current poll. Even here, we are pretty much evenly split. So if we are split evenly, you know the general (and less informed) public are split about like they are saying.

That is another way our party and our President can be harmed.

I think you might have an unrealistic idea of how much Terri could recover. She is not going to get a lot of improvement, although I do believe she will get some. She may be able to swallow very soft foods, but she will not be likely to get all of her nutrition by mouth.

She might be able to make a few more sounds and maybe a word or two, but she isn't going be able to say much more than that.

I most certainly believe that quality of life is an individual decision and those things might well bring Terri and her family much joy.

I don't know for sure what God wants. None of us can be sure, but I have asked God that in quiet prayer. In my spirit, I feel that the time has come for Terri to go home to Jesus.

Jeb is already being subject to attacks by the left.

When he took office he has an oath and duty to protect the citizens. CPS has a legal obligation and duty by the law.

Judges are not suppose to make laws but merely interpret them. This judge is making laws. Other judges have done the same thing. It is time these judges step back into line and allow our constitution and our agencies to work the way they are suppose to.

There are laws on the books and that judge is obstructing the law. And the consequence would be death. Is this what you believe other countries should see. England stood up for Terri long before people in America began to get involved.

And I will tell you something, I don't care about popularity. I care about doing the right thing.

Maybe God put Jeb in this position so that he could help.

Maybe he will be rewarded here for doing this but then again maybe he will be rewarded in heaven.

Think about it, when the day comes and the Jeb faces the Lord will he really be able to say I did EVERYTHING I could to stop them from murdering this woman.

I think this is a test. Will we pass or not!And if so will Jeb pass or not?
