You're correct, he has the pardon power and that's a difference here. The court had jurisdiction over this case and the legislature failed to give the governor new power to act.

I would agree that something is out of wack legally and morally, because Jeb might even be able to offer clemency and free crooks from prison, but he has no such authority to save Terri. I have to blame the republican legislators who wimped out.

I am definitely more willing to do that. They were more than spineless.
