I suppose my main problem is mostly with the calls for Jeb Bush's head on a platter, ...

I don't agree with that either but he is responsible for what he does and what he doesn't do. The facts of this case, including the extent of Executive powers, will be coming out. The Bushes will take heat from both sides whether they act or not. They can stand on principle or they can stand on expediancy but they can't stand on the law because the law has been thoroughly muddied here.

From what I can tell, though, Jeb has already taken risks in the actions he has already taken up to this point for the sake of Terri's cause.

I don't see any great risk in anything he has done thus far. If it's risk of criticism in the press and from the Dems all he has to do is show up at the office to get that.

My concern is mostly with the fallout that could occur as a result of actions that the media and the Democrats will portray as illegal abuses of power.

Conservatives can act and deal with leftist reaction or they can play it safe and let the left have its way. They'll be demonized either way. The President has always handled it very well. He tells the truth and says he acted in good faith. Seems to work.

Being able to break the filibuster and put judges on the bench that hold life to be a sacred right is the only way we will win this in the end.

I'm not as certain as you are that that is the only way. It needs to be done but it isn't getting done. At any rate there is a citizen who is being killed by state order and everything about the case smells like a skunk trapped in the outhouse.

Thank you for a reasonable reply and a sincere objective look at my POV. FReegards, TigersEye

Regardless of whether we agree, it is always interesting to have a civil discussion. I find them a bit lacking around here at times... FReegards, MWS
