send the National Guard in or something



Legality and illegality can be abstract concepts. Jeb Bush, I am sure, has legal counsel able to justifiy virtually any action, no matter how threadbare such justification could be. From a practical matter, if he did use force to seize and rescue Terri, such a move would be broadly popular. The psychology of the American people is such that they admire the BOLD leader, even if he acts a bit outside the law, that the timid, legalistic, Carteresque leader. This explains why individuals like Jesse James are still admired in the US after all these years. The popularity of such a move would immunize Jeb from any legal repercussions or danger of losing his job.

The collective 'legal' arguments sicken me in this case. The law above all else apparently.

Isn't that how the Taliban practices? The Sharia law is the only thing to follow so they claim. How is the Taliban's merciless treatment of so many any different than our judicial system's merciless treatment of Terri? They both claim the 'law' as their protector.
