I agree, and .. supreme executive power" does NOT mean you are allowed to subvert ALL THE LAWS OF THE STATE. In fact, it has a higher responsibility than that.

Oh good grief. Satan must be mighty proud of his handywork. This is what evil does. It turns people against one another and distracts us from focusing on solutions. Go ahead an vilify, demonize, shout if you must but just realize you're playing right into Satan's hand.

Keyes' case is flawed. The Penellas County police said that they would enforce the court order no matter what the Governor did.

Jeb Bush wanted to do something and was prepared to order it. But, as reported in the Miami Herald, "We told them that unless they had the judge with them when they came, they were not going to get in," said a source with the local police.

If you want to blame somebody besides the court, blame the police. Jeb Bush has done everything that he could.

Yes.

It is obvious to a ten year old what Article One, Section Two means.

If it means something other than the clear meaning of its words, according to our political class, then all of our founding documents, the basic law of our land, are worthless pieces of paper, and the American Republic is dead.

Somebody should tell Klayman to tone down the tint job he's sporting.

The idea that the local police would have resisted even one state trooper with an order from the Governor is ludicrous disinformation.

It has already been reported that Jeb had to call off the DFC because the sheriff's would not stand down without the judge coming with them and rescinding his order.

A bloody confrontation was narrowly avoided.

And you want to play Russian roulette with these men's lives again??

So, Jeb Bush should commit an impeachable offense. He is acting within the law. The same people who trash the left for acting outside their legal authority, want our guys to do it when it suits their needs. When they refuse to do it, they claim moral superiority and threaten to not vote or vote third party next emlection.

"If only Jeb Bush would love Terri more than he hates Alan Keyes"

You can't be serious!

In other words - the only solution for you is that Jeb should take the NG and storm the hospital and take Terri into custody. Is that it ..?? Even though the Gov has NO LEGAL AUTHORITY to do that ..??

SO .. YOU WANT JEB BUSH TO SUBVERT THE LAW - JUST LIKE JANET RENO DID ..?? You can't be serious!

That's BS misinformation.

There is not a chance in hades that the local police would have interfered.

But even if you were right, and those lying press reports were true, that would cast the Governor in a VERY bad light, having abrogated his sworn duty to protect innocent human life out of fear of a pissant probate judge and a few arrogant local cops.

But again, that story is bogus. Utterly bogus.

Not deifying. Are you a military man Mike? If so, you might remember the line from the second verse of the Battle Hymn of the Republic "As He Died To Make Us Holy Let Us Die To Make Men Free, His Truth Is Marching On."

This poor disabled woman, this "least of these," is our hero and our champion. Not the daughter of the Living God, any more than we are.

They can kill the body, they cannot touch the soul.

Wouldn't you agree that a civilized discussion on what most of us would agree is a disagreeable and unpleasant topic...is not the same as vilifying, shouting, or demonizing those that might disagree?

In this case the decision was made by the government

The decision was made to uphold current law. You want to change it? Go bug the legislature of the state of Florida

If Schiavo changed his mind and decided he wanted to put the tube back in he would have to legally get permission.

Well considering he is the legal guardian and he has made the decision to carry out what he felt would be Terri's wishes, I don't think that's going to change now is it?

So, your assessment is incorrect.

So standing by a court decision that upheld current law in Florida is incorrect. You're right. Much better to destroy the separation of powers between the states and the national government and politically grandstand over an issue that all involved know will not change to get a vote or two, meanwhile setting the precedent that the government can at some point in the future make the determination on who lives and dies instead of the family, no matter how disfunctional. Much better and more correct....

Jeb Bush not only has the authority, he swore to do it when you took office.

It is his foremost duty.

She IS being crucified, symbolically. If there were any documented supernatural phenomena around her she would be a shoo-in for Sainthood.

What exactly have you add "of substance"? "Y'all argue like DUers." doesn't count.

Oh, I forgot. Take advice from a carpetbagging politician. That's a wise move.
