This will be my final post, because I have made my point here, and don't wish to continue to butt heads for no possible gain.
The President did what he was Constitutionally permitted to do. The President is not in charge of the State of Florida.
I suggest you re-read what I said about Reagan. I am not villifying Reagan. He did not have the Constitutional power to overturn Roe v. Wade, did he? Millions of babies were slaughtered during his administration........why didn't he do something 'besides' to stop it? (Since you are villifying Bush for this, to be consistent, you should villify Reagan for what he didn't do........I am not doing either).
And I haven't even come close to 'throwing in the towel' but I expect my leaders to obey the law.
We both desperately want Terri to live, and are angry that this has happened. I just believe that by making the President the scapegoat for your anger, you are in danger of never solving the real problem........and that is that this country has embraced a culture of death, and the renegade judiciary is aiding and abetting it.
Keep praying for Terri, her family, for the President and his brother, and for the soul of this nation.
If that is lobbing spitballs then what would you consider an honest straightforward question? How is this any attack on you?
When the Governor of a state asks for Federal assistance the President has the legal opportunity and Constitutional duty to take charge.
"I'm not sure we can get it done here in Florida," Martinez quoted (Gov.) Bush as saying just after a new Schiavo measure stalled in the Florida Legislature. "Do whatever you can federally."
When a state courts judge defies a Congressional subpoena the Federal Executive Branch has the power to act. When a Federal District Court ignores the plain wording of a Congressional bill signed by the President he has an opening to act.
You can hit and run if you like, I will continue to deflate your hyperbole and myth.
Where is Senator Zell Miller in this battle? He is a strong voice. Isn't he blasting his fellow democrats on this? I would have expected him to. I hope he is (or will). We need a guy like him right now.
