Ping to 10 so that you can respond to me....

[Laura Earl]

It's 72 & sunny in Birmingham, but there are no beaches for 250+ miles.

[EternalVigilance]

She is still aware, and has responded to friends.

Don't wish her dead. It's unseemly at the least.

Wouldn't it be better for the Governor to send two state troopers, an order and a nurse with an IV to save this innocent young woman from death at the hands of these murderers?

It's not too late to do the right thing.

[MikefromOhio]

LOL give me a break....


Let the deifying of Terri begin.....

If the governor tells the local police in Pinellas County to step aside, they must do so, or else be arrested and tried for an assault on the government of the state, which is to say insurrection.

True.

Hugh Hewitt said Jeb Bush couldn't or wouldn't do it because the police would have fought back and it is the sort of thing that starts a civil war.

Well, Jeb Bush is courting dereliction of something. Right now he's looking an awful lot like Jimmy Carter did after Operation Desert Helicopter Crash.

Jeb said he was going to move in with the DFC. Then he didn't. Then he did, but he didn't send enough force to get the job done. And then he said he'd done all he could.

In so doing, Jeb has royally hosed the Republican party, the conservative cause, and himself.

Once they got into it, the only way out of this for the GOP was to save Terri, and ultimately show the world that she was not "persistently" vegetative. Had she ever learned to talk again, even at the level of a child, it would have made all Americans stand back and review what the Hell went on there.

Instead the media is having a field day explaining to the public that the GOP caved in to the "Christian Right" and fouled up her devoted husband's plan to "allow" the brain-dead Terri Schiavo her "right to die."

Yeah, the court system failed miserably here, allowing horribly bad lawyering to result in an innocent woman's death through sheer devotion to "procedure."

But doing the right thing was within Jeb's grasp, and he blew it. And he took a lot of us with him.

[MikefromOhio]

ahh man you have made a rational and logical argument....how dare you? LOL< :)

[COEXERJ145]

More garbage from WorldNutDaily and Alan Keyes.

[EternalVigilance]

The truth is the truth, no matter which web address it is at.

But you could care less about the content of this very tightly reasoned article.

Y'all argue more like DUers every day around here.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

There is a reason why Keyes never has, nor will, hold elective office.

Yep, he is too right and too direct. He leaves opponents with no room to shuck and jive. Their only retort is name calling. Is that what you are attempting?

[infocats]

"the supreme executive power shall be vested in a governor … ." The word supreme means highest in authority. There can be no executive authority in the state of Florida higher than the governor. No state law can create an executive authority higher than highest in the Florida constitution."

True...but utterly beside the point and Dr. Keys should know better. Remember, there are three branches of government, executive, legislative, and judiciary. Each has their duties and obligations under the law specifically spelled out.

[EternalVigilance]

I agree with you completely.

Well said.

[Saundra Duffy]

Gov. Bush has said that he recognizes the injustice being done to Terri Schiavo but is powerless to stop it.

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

[MikefromOhio]

LOL

let me guess, you agree with saying Terri is being crucified too huh? LOL

[spodefly]

There are reasons to be critical of this piece, but I believe there is a more important issue here that the article states correctly.

The Governor could, clearly within the powers of his office, overrule a judicial decision and use Executive force. Whether that is warranted in this case is a topic that has been discussed here repeatedly in the past few weeks. Outside any specifics of the Schiavo case, the fact that the Governor could overrule judicial decisions seems clear from the FL Constitution.

I believe he isn't going to use this power not because of any specifics of the Schiavo case, but because it would set a precedent (a recent precedent anyway) that would put his brother, other Governors, and the US Congress in peril of having to show some backbone in standing up to judicial tyranny. Mitt Romney would be another Governor imperiled by such a show of Constitutional fortitude.

It seems that none of our elected "representatives" have the guts to go against King Court in any decisions. That is the most obvious aspect of this case from a 'governmental' point of view.

No one's on death row for being disabled.

[COEXERJ145]

Let the deifying of Terri begin.....

Already started. Last Friday a bunch of people were saying she was being crucified and George and Jeb are Pilate. I bet there are a few thinking she would die on Friday and come back to life on Sunday.

[MikefromOhio]

show me where Jeb hates Alan Keyes? an article or a quote directly from Jeb would be nice.....not that I expect it, we should just take your word on it huh?

[longtermmemmory]

yes.

[EternalVigilance]

Each has their duties and obligations under the law specifically spelled out.

One of which is their sworn duty to enforce Section Two, which is quite specific, and which doesn't even exist if you listen to any of the governmental branches right now.

It functionally doesn't exist...
