In a press conference this week, Gov. Bush cited “new information” in the Terri Schiavo case that “raises serious concerns and warrants immediate action.” He then stated, “If there's any uncertainty, we should err on the side of protecting her. We're exhausting all executive options and continue to work with the Florida legislature to save Terri's life.”
One of those executive options is in the Florida Constitution, Article IV, Section 8, which gives the governor the power to "restore civil rights" and "commute punishment." This power cannot be controlled or obstructed by the judiciary.
Simply because of her physical disability, Terri Schiavo is being deprived of "the right to enjoy and defend life," guaranteed by Article I, Section 2, of the Florida Constitution. She has been given a death sentence without cause, and actually ordered to death.
Gov. Bush has stated publicly: “I am doing everything within my power to make sure that Terri is afforded at least the same right rights that criminals convicted of the most heinous crimes take for granted.”
By stating this, and his intent to “exhaust all executive options . . . to save Terri’s life,” Gov. Bush has publicly pledged to use the power granted him by the Florida Constitution to help Terri. Yet, Gov. Bush has not exercised his executive power under Article IV, Section 8, of the Florida Constitution, to restore Terri’s rights. His failure to so act will result in the death of Terri Schiavo. Does that not make him liable?

Maybe Bush should appeal on the rights of animals PETA maybe they re term it and call it HETA. Open up a sub facility for unwanted individuals. I mean, hey an animal gets rights because it moves and breaths. We don't have to be able to communicate with it to be humane to it. Does an animal ask for life? NO, It's protected by the humane society automatically untill/unless someone comes to adopt it....
This is sick...
