Yes it would be illegal. Jeb did the right thing. Only a higher court can overrule a lower court. If a judge acts improperly, he can be removed from office: impeachment for federal judges, the ballot box for local judges.
Jeb did the right thing. It's separation of powers. People calling for executive action in this case are misguided. It's not the American way.
You are right. He did everythng he could legally. I don't fault him for obeying the law. But I will never vote for him for President. Sometimes a leader has to break the law. It's been said of Lincoln that "sometimes you have to suspend the Constitution to save the Constitution." Lincoln was a leader. Jeb Bush is a honorable bureaucrat. Nothing more.
No, it's simply not the "courtocrat" way. Jeb would have one out if he chose to disobey the court, and that's if there would be too little support in the legislature to remove him from office.
I don't think it's the American way to starve a person to death. But that's just my biased opinion.
HOCKEY PUCK.
