Well, I am not going to go back and forth with you on this. I feel that there are ways j bush can step in. I have read all of the fight for terri websites and I they too do not believe he has done everything. He is the one who has to live with himself. I feel his political career is finished. I am still amazed like I said earlier in this thread that a circuit court judge can choose not to follow law in his ruling, a federal judge can choose not to follow the law in his ruling and the ruling still stands. I am wondering what the great Ronald Reagan would have done in this situation.

Excerpt:
"That's how I feel about the Terri Schiavo case. I'm neither a Floridian nor a lawyer, and, for all I know, it may be legal under Florida law for the state to order her to be starved to death. But it is still wrong. This is not a criminal, not a murderer, not a person whose life should be in the gift of the state. So I find it repulsive, and indeed decadent, to have her continued existence framed in terms of ''plaintiffs'' and ''petitions'' and ''en banc review'' and ''de novo'' and all the other legalese.
Mrs. Schiavo has been in her present condition for 15 years. Whoever she once was, this is who she is now — and, after a decade and a half, there is no compelling reason to kill her. Any legal system with a decent respect for the status quo — something too many American judges are increasingly disdainful of — would recognize that her present life, in all its limitations, is now a well-established fact, and it is the most grotesque judicial overreaching for any court at this late stage to decide enough is enough.
It would be one thing had a doctor decided to reach for the morphine and ''put her out of her misery'' after a week in her diminished state; after 15 years, for the courts to treat her like a Death Row killer who's exhausted her appeals is simply vile."
Like I said he could bring in martial law, but for the reasons I discussed above this is not a good idea. Can you imagine a future Democratic Governor calling in the military based on Jeb's precedent to "save a life" under their standards? I'm sure you know what kind of standards they would dream up.
Jeb will live with himself and he will live with himself peacefully. He has thought about this more deeply than you or I for many years. He did not make a light decision. You can be sure of that. He knows that the long term question of euthanasia is up to the people, not him.
