It seems clear that we now have but one trunk of government, the judicial. The former branches are now appendages of the superior. The legislative appendage serves clerically, preparing "laws" (read briefs) for the judiciary, while the executive appendage carries out the enforcement orders of the judiciary.
Somebody, please convince me that I'm wrong. There is no other plausible explanation unless he has had his testacles removed.
Happy Easter, Governor. Enjoy your mother f*&%^&ing ham.
Yep, looks like Jeb is going to take the Pontius Pilate approach. Happy Easter!
There is a time to obey man, and a time to obey God.
Jeb has gone beyond the call of duty and done more for this woman over the last few years than anyone could ever ask for. He made me proud to have voted for him.
Keep in mind...he is the best political strategist this side of Karl Rove...and I mean that. He is a political genius. Methinks...he is going to take care of this in many other ways when this is all said and done for.
The real show has yet to begin...bank on it.
I believe people have tried to do that - but Michael's buddies in the police dept are standing guard and people are being arrested.
Jeb Bush is definately one of the really good guys. Lets put it where it belongs - the courts and judges.
Well, what's keeping YOU from rescuing her?
Fear of the consequences, perhaps?
Looks like you're right. Most "polls" I've seen show 60-80% of the respondents say Mr. Schiavo should have the right to decide hat happens, not her parents, Congress or the courts. Jeb sees that and figures if he wants to be re-elected, he should stay out of it. Sad to think that nut-bag husband is in charge of a human life. His "fiancee" better wise up and have her own living will spelled out.
Sadly, Judge Greer is now King of America. he's more powerful than than the Cogress or the President. He gave the bird to the Congress and they did NOTHING!!
Across the board, the judiciary has asserted its pre-eminence.
Ave Caesar, Juris Maximus
Random thought...
A Lot of people are bashing JEB. He has done everything LEGAL he can. What else can he do LEGALLY? I am as frustrated as everyone else but lets put blame on the parties who should be blamed MS & the Judge.
Would any of us keyboard jockeys be willing to go down there and do something illegal? I highly doubt it, as we still will act within the law even though MS and the Judge won't. When all is said and done good will prevail over evil.
Yep, I think you are right. I want a politician with some NUTZZZZZZZZZZZ AND BACKBONE!!!!!!!!!!!
Ain't seen one in years.
I agree with you. Some people here are the 'do as I say, not as I do' crowd. They want someone else to break the law to satisfy them. Sickening.
I am proud of Gov. Bush, but do believe he has the power to have DCF do an emergency removal, and that he should do so if Terri is not in a PVS.
If she is not in a PVS and this can be shown, the predicate for her murder disappears.
I don't believe that the FL appellate courts or the federal courts would allow her to be put to death, once tests (that Michael Schiavo and Judge Greer have resisted) are performed and show that she is not in PVS.
That Gov. Bush isn't taking this approach suggests to me that he hasn't been convinced enough that she is not in a PVS to risk bloodshed removing her, as Greer has illegally ordered the sheriffs to resist removal.
"A Lot of people are bashing JEB. He has done everything LEGAL he can. What else can he do LEGALLY? I am as frustrated as everyone else but lets put blame on the parties who should be blamed MS & the Judge."
I agree that Jeb has done a great deal to try to help Terri. What does bother me however is the fact that so many are coming out saying that Jeb DOES have the executive power to take custody of Terri. I still do not feel I know the truth yet on whether he DOES or DOES NOT have the authority to take custody. Wish I did know the truth!
