Thanks much for the nice short summary of what happened with DCF.
I think Jeb is between a rock and a hard place. Everyone here and everywhere is verbally beating up on him real bad. Personally I don't think I can judge him, nor GWB. I know that W came back from vacation early and signed the Federal Bill in the middle of the night, supporting Terri's Right to Life. I will reserve my angst for all the Judges, I have a hard time condeming people who have tried to help. It looks so easy to us, but we are not privy to all the legal details.
If really there was a way for either Bush to help more I have to think that GibbsIII would have been waving those options all over the press by now. I think they are constrained. I am not going to "eat my young" on FR.
Thanks, ExPat. I'm glad you feel that way also. If it weren't for Governor Bush, Terri would have been dead two years ago. He worked hard on the FL senators this time to pass the bill, but there's only so much one can do to change another's mind. He also cancelled his Easter plans so he'd be around just in case something came up that he could do. And he's made it very clear that he wants Terri to live. I believe he has principles, and that he chooses to live within the law and follow the perimeters of the judicial system. Not everyone agrees, but I personally can't judge him.
Now these tyrannical judges are another story ...
