'Twill be very interesting when Terri kicks the bucket and they are subpoenaed by Congress.

Sadly, I don't believe that Congress has the backbone to have any further involvement with the Schiavo case after she dies.

Michael, Greer, Felos, Whittemore, et al, will get away with judicide and thumbing their noses at legislative authority.

An interesting piece of information emerged on the local Orlando radio station I listen to. It seems that Gov. Bush was prepared to send in FL Dept. of Law Enforcement agents to remove Terri and reinsert the feeding tube. The FDLE agents, as a courtesy, gave the local Pinellas Park gendarmes a "heads up" that they would be coming in. The Pinellas Park gendarmes told them not to - that a "standoff" would ensue.

So, in FloriDUH, we have local authorities with more power than state authorities. We have counties unable to enforce code regulations (see Allen Davis case).

How much stupidity IS there in this state?

Ya just gotta wonder if it was all theatre, for our consumption.

I don't put it past Jeb or any other politician to have baked up a half-hearted "rescue" to get the base off his back, and to LOOK like he was trying to do something.

There really is no other reason that the State police would have backed down after being pushed by the locals. I mean, turf pride alone would have seen this carried through.

In all likelihood, there's more to the story here.

I thought we conservatives were in favor of local control?
