All very nice, but Jeb Bush CANNOT BREAK THE LAW even if that law is bad.

When Terri Schaivo dies, are we going to see people calling Jeb Bush a murderer, like they're calling her husband?

I sincerely hope not. Jeb Bush has stood by the Schindler family throughout all this. The idea that he can just brush aside legality with 'a stroke of a pen' and is being judged accordingly by some is disturbing to say the least.

Is there anybody who hasn't tried jumping on this sad and sick bandwagon?

As repugnant as this may sound, those who lambaste the judges need to remember that if we go against them and actively seek to undermine their rulings, then we become lower then them and play right into the hands of the evil DemocRATic liberals from hell.

To usurp the rule of law is to undermine the very fabric of our nation that lives by the rule of law. If we think the law bites on an issue, we change the law. If the legislators refuse to change the law, we replace the legislators. That is what the GOP Revolution of 1994 was all about where there was a net gain of 12 Senate and 54 House Seats for the GOP.

We need to stay focused on the rule of law, people. Otherwise, what gains we have made will be completely negated and we will have lost all the progress we have made, and possibly our majorities in the House and Senate.

"Jeb Bush CANNOT BREAK THE LAW"

What LAW are you referring to? Unless it is so late that I am delusional, the legislative branch of the United States government makes the laws. I do not recall them making a law to MURDER an innocent human being by FORBIDDING food and water at the whims of a group of gangsters.

If this is true, then why is he using his position as governor to promote the unconstitutional FTAA? Is it ok to break the law with conflict of interest, but not ok when the law fails to protect the liberty of the innocent? ( I think the founding fathers would have a different opinion than yours-- they felt that no freedom loving American should follow laws that violate a persons liberty or right to life)

Jeb has power to act. He is equal to the judicary in his responsibility, and has an obligation to step in to protect citizens from the judiciary. If the public disagrees, they can vote Jeb out.

I agree. I was sickened when Reno sent in those thugs to grab elian. I do not want to see it again. As much as this sucks we can't do the same thing that we hated.

If a law is illegal and immoral, yes one MUST break it. We all owe our duty to a Higher Law. That law forbids murder. If this law means nothing, then one has failed in one's duty both to God and one's fellow man. "You shall not stand by while your brother blood is being shed." The Bible sees breaking an UNJUST law as an act of moral goodness. The saving of Terri's life is an act of moral goodness. There can be no higher obligation vested in the chief executive of a state than to exert himself to the utmost to save an innocent life.

Just what law would that be? And what if the judge issues an order that is unconstitutional and illegal...then what?

Jeb Bush does have Florida statute, which Judge Greer ILLEGALLY enjoined him from performing.

Like a gentleman he appealed it up the food chain but got slapped clear up to the SCOFLA.

I say nonsense on that. If Jeb faces charges of offenses, those will NOT be tried by the courts! They will be tried by the LEGISLATURE (impeachment proceedings). The Legislature WILL back up Jeb on Florida statute.

And, the courts who tried illegally to enjoin him, should all face impeachment charges in the Legislature.

Many attorneys do not agree that he would be breaking the law if he acted to protect this woman. Indeed it is Judge Greer whose ruling contains manifest error. His ruling should be rejected because Greer incorrectly applied the law, ignored the law and ignored the obvious facts of the case.

God's law is higher.

What law would he be breaking?

I am NOT comparing the current situation to Nazi Germany but I've always thought that the "Good Germans" get a bad rap. What should they have done? Stood up to the SS and gotten sent to the camps or shot? How do "regular citizens" go up against the power of government?

Was it the courts cover that allowed Eisenhower to send federal troops to Little Rock or did Ike have authority from a higher power and a more basic foundation:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

In our current culture and state of affairs does the above have any meaning?

While I think that what is happening in a horror please don't think that I'm trying to pick a fight, they are honest questions that I'm stuggling with and I'd welcome a discussion on them that might help me achieve a better understanding.

Where did you get that idea, junior high school?

This nation was founded by people who decided to break the law in order to establish freedom in the land. Illegal laws must be opposed and broken for the sake of freedom.

You really don't know what you're talking about.

Jeb has two higher laws to follow--the law of God and the constitution of the state of Florida. When confronting law breakers such as Judge Greer, the governor is supposed to act to protect "life and liberty."

His inaction will be a testimony to his cowardice and lack of principle. Shame on him.
