What the family is requesting is not relevant.
If the family right now request you to give up all your earthly possession to pay for more legal battles, would you be a bad person if you said, "No, sorry, I can't do that!"?. We all have limits on how far we're willing to go to make a difference on this issue. Jeb Bush's has made a lot of efforts on behalf of Terri. No one whose willingness to act on Terri's behalf is limited to some emails and BBS postings has any moral high ground to criticize him.
Really? So if the family doesn't want citizen commando raids and they request people not be diruptive by getting arrested (which doesn't help Terri at all) then I should ignore their wishes? Baloney.

This argument that if you don't go "take care of business" or "take the law into your hands" yourself then you have no right to criticize an elected official is so ridiculous that it's hardly worth commenting on any further. By your reasoning, nobody should criticize the government for porous borders UNLESS they are standing guard at the border. Did you criticize Clinton or any part of the government for taking Elian? What???? You mean you weren't down there to protect Elian yourself???? Why, you hypocrite!
And I'm still waiting for you to answer my 2 very simple questions.
1. Does Terri Shiavo have a constitutional right to life?
2. Does Jeb Bush, as the elected governor, have the obligation to uphold to constitution?
