I would suspect most of those who are criticizing Jeb aren't willing to go all the way either. Look at how many of them are posting here rather on down there at the hospice risking being arrested to give her water.

Exactly!

Uh, nobody at freerepublic is governor of Florida. All we're asking Jeb to do is be governor, and not let a swamp judge sieze executive authority (by ordering local cops to shoot state officials if they try to rescue Terri). Jeb has allowed his constitutional powers to be usurped by a backwater judge. Jeb is a poll-driven wimp. Most politicians are, of course, but it's particularly sad here, because his higher instincts told him he needed to help Terri - but his lower instincts - fear - won out. Terri dies - and so does some of the legitimate constitutional authority of his office, which he has allowed to be stolen and diminished by Judge Greer.
