If Jeb Bush couldn't stand up to George Greer -- and Greer's rebellious order for local cops to resist a state agency and state law enforcement -- then how could he ever stand up to North Korea, Syria, China, Iran, Cuba, etc etc?? I was once a supporter of Jeb for Prez in 08- when he was still helping Terri. But after he let a swamp judge roll him, I realize he's not a man to be in the White House, with the responsibility of defending America against real threats (not swamp probate clerks).
I don't feel sorry for Jello spine... I mean Jeb Bush. He chose to do nothing and will pay the price for it in the polls.
His career is over...he just doesn't know it yet.
As usual, Joseph Farah is right on target. Poor Jeb, but even more, poor Terri!
The unappeasables are not very grateful for that Jeb has done.
So I guess we know where his priorities really are.
I think the key word here is 'enforcement'; would you have him dictate arbitrarily?
The 11th Circuit Court told Janet Reno and Bill Clinton that could not seize Elián González. They told the court that they would seize him and went in the middle of the night and got a search warrant from a low level federal magistrate who was not informed of the case. They violated the orders of a Florida Court and the Federal Court of Appeals.
What happened to Bill and Janet? NOTHING. They stated that the 11th Circuit had no jurisdiction and that the Florida Court had no jurisdiction.
There was no outcry from the left-wing fascist press and they supported sending this young boy back to a Communist prison in CUBA.
When we who are for freedom want the executive to enforce the law of humanity where is the left-wing fascist press: On the same side they were with Elian, the side of the devil and the democrats.
Jeb Bush's refusal to stand up to the demented Judge Greer has been a great disappointment to me. I wouldn't want Jeb in any office.
He'll never be President.
That is preventing a bloodbath between law enforcement. Terri should live. What Judge Greer and his local yokel police did was repugnant. That being said, I don't fault Jeb for not forcing state law enforcement to use physical force against local law enforcement. Jeb should get credit for the efforts that he did make. I only wish he had personally walked into the hospice with food and water to feed Terri and dared the police to arrest him. It would have been nonviolent and quite possibly changed the outcome.
I'm appalled that U.S. Marshals were not sent to take Terri into protective custody per congressional subpoenas. They had the legal right to do so and the local police would have deferred.
I have to admit that I'm sick about it too. I liked Jeb alot. But he made a big mistake this time. Terri needs a hero & the crying shame is that there isn't a single one out there. I had this fantasy in my head of both of the Bush's personally going to Terri's room & making sure she was rescued from that place, saving her life.
Big disappointment.......
Yeah, I do agree that I think he will be haunted. I really believe he wanted to do the right thing. I guess it's easy for a lot of folks to talk about what they would have done. I'm guessing it may have been a bit more difficult to execute.
He struck out with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth.
Personally, I plan on laying the greater part of the blame on the unfaithful husband, the evil lawyer and the judge who actively killed Terri.
I also think this is a more constructive approach.
OMG...how will Jeb survive not having Mrs. Joseph Farah in his camp?
What about The Republican controlled Congress and Senate? The judge pissed on them as well. They don't appear to be doing anything either.
Anyone know the number of Feeding Tubes that are pulled annually to allow the patient to die?......
If so could you post a link to the information?
.
Wow, non-Floridians commenting on what a rotten governor Jeb is because his hands are tied? He has already stated NUMEROUS times that he has no desire to be President so that is a dead issue. Like it or not he did what his legal staff said he could and couldn't do.
It pains me to say what I am about to say, but it appears that all is lost for Terri.
Those whom we counted on to come to Terri's rescue, didn't. Not the state legislature, not the governor, not the President, not the Congress, not the FLNG, the FDLE, the FHP, the US Marshalls . . . NO ONE.
They sat on their hands. We knew we couldn't count on the judicial branch, but with Republican majorities in every major office possible, we believed that they would take action to save her life.
Instead, they sat on their hands. They sat on their hands for vote after vote. They sat on their hands when it came time to speak what they truly believe; what they campaigned on. The state legislature took a vote last Wednesday to adjourn for Easter. No one sat on their hands for that vote. But, when it came time to save the life of an innocent, disabled woman whose only crime was that she required a feeding tube since her husband refused to get her the rehab she needed to be able to feed herself, they sat on their hands.
Beginning next year, they will solicit us for money and votes for their re-election campaigns. I suggest you give them the same that they gave to Terri - sit on your hands. DON'T re-elect any of them.
Yes, I know what I am saying - we could lose the state house and hand it back to the Dems. Given that Republicans are the ones who could have saved Terri and refused, can we truly say that there is a difference?
Our system of government is terribly broken and I'm not sure that it is repairable.
My heart is heavy for Terri, the Schindler's and for America. I pray that God will grant the Schindler's peace.
America has become a country that, today, scares me.
And that is very, very sad.
