Jeb "Pontius" Bush has already wash his hands on this.
Wonder if he asked for Judge Rear's permission before washing his hands?
wash = washed (before the spell and grammar checkers get me)
What do you want him to do?
I am sick about all of this. What is the use of voting for republicans if they do not govern as such. This and take a look at the TX legislature a den of li=ars and thieves.
Florida lawmaker says he will consider impeaching Schiavo Judge Greer

Jess just arrived back at hospice
Terri would have been dead two years ago if it weren't for JEB's help, not to mention what he's done this time. Step back and take another look at it.
What was he supposed to do? Ignore the law? He has no power to change the laws, he can only enforce them
Sheer nonsense. Comments like yours make me wince - they are so utterly ridiculous. Unreal!!!
Give it a rest, will ya?
I have asked before on different threads, what is the endgame? A showdown between the executive,Gov Bush,and the judicial,inevitably the Florida Supreme Court,branches over who has the ultimate say would lead to the US Supreme Court.Does any one think that the libs in the country would stand by and watch the courts lose power without a fight? What happens then?Does anyone think the SCOTUS will move to restrict the power of the judiciary?You would need two of the following to side with the executive branch,Souter,Breyer,Stevens,O`Connor,Kennedy,Ginsburg.I can`t picture one of them not protecting the home turf of the courts.Than what?Defy the court and rule by executive order?We may not mind it now but some day that may be a very distasteful thing. Amending the constitution was the check to a runaway judiciary but that is virtually impossible now. Very frustrating and I am at a loss for an answer.
I guess my point and my concern is that if at some point the SCOTUS will be the final arbiter of the dispute and their decision will be the last word on the issue we may be forcing a showdown that we cannot win because it will be decided by one of the contestants,the court system. If someone wants to make the case that despite what they,the court,decides the executive will not abide by it,we need to think what the ramifications of that may be beyond this case. My overall question is how do we put a stop to a runaway judiciary without giving that very system the ability to defeat the action and be made stronger in the end for the effort? I don`t see where the logical progression of thought concerning Terri is that frustration and anger over what the court system has done,which anyone can check my postings on the issue to see how wrong I think it is,should be to call Gov. or Pres.Bush cowards,Nazis and other invective that is more befitting DU than here. It would be nice if raiding the hospice and removing Terri would mean all would go on happily ever after,but I`m afraid it will not.
I put up these three posts yesterday and copied them here to ask the same questions.
You seem to forget that Governor Bush got a law passed just for Terri two years ago. That was struck down as unconstitutional. How many other citizens as he done this for ? This is not a police state, and he has done all he can.
As unhappy as I am with Terri's fate, I still say Gov. Bush has done a fine job.
Jeb is good at 'Mother May I' but poor at leadership in life and death issues. The courts rule in Florida ... and about everywhere else, with not a legislaive body around sufficiently ballsy to raise the Constitutional crisis to the deserved level, so Terri is to be executed by a circuit judge while the faux power looks on pretending to be helpless.
