LIke I posted, I do think there is legal argument for doing so, but I'm sure Jeb has consulted leaders in the legislature as well as his brother, and there just probably isn't the backing to do so. My guess is he thought about it but couldn't get his ducks in a row. Jeb is as frustrated as the resto f us, and the piece in the AP about how he's basically been obsessed with it (like all of us) and upset with it all was moving enough to drive me to tears. Jeb is as strong as Terri supporter you can get. Without him as governor, this would have been long over now. Think of he had lost to Reno or something like that.
Terri may be going home soon, but let's all remember this--because of Jeb, Terri's Fight is not stopping at her death. Terri's Fight has resulted in state legislatures (mine did last night) addressing issues like this and reforming their laws. Terri's Fight may result in some judicial reform (such as a legislative veto) in some states. Without Jeb Bush pushing the way he has, Terri's Fight wouldn't have gotten the nationaln attention it has (and it really hasn't until the last week or two), and her Fight would not be carrying on.
It is for those reasons I do hope Jeb runs in 08. He is a strong moral man with good judgement who hasd one all he can do. Armchair Governors are being unfair to him.
I love what you have written about Jeb. I've been very uncomfortable with the tone that some have taken against him. I believe he is a truly dedicated man and did everything possible that he could. I hate that this is happening and removing Terri's tube is pure evil. I believe she is going to die this time. I don't like it and hope that those who are fighting now continue to do so after she passes. Jeb is not the enemy.
