I'm more than open to the argument that Jeb has done everything possible to save Terri.

The fact remains, however, she is being starved to death in the State where he is Governor. Where does the buck stop?

The buck stops with the voters. They elected Judge Greer, they elected the legislatures that did not provide for a jury trial for Terri, the buck stops with us.

he fails to honor the rule of law, and he disregards the fact that while we can question Judge Greer’s decision, his was a court of competent jurisdiction. The parties were given due process according to each and every judge who considered the case

You don't get the big picture do you? When the judicial system, as a branch of government, fails to enforce the law of the land, according to the judgment of either the legislature, or the executive office. Then either of those branches can act to restraint the Judicial Branch. That is what separation of power is all about. It is not about whether Jeb Bush pushed to send the case through 50 judicial appeals. Each branch is sworn to obey the law of the land, and each branch is free to render judgment upon the law. The legislature acts by changing the law, and the executive, by refusing to allow its enforcement.

What is with people that they automatically default all judgment to the judicial branch? Why do you think we elect the other branches for in the first place. The elected branches speak for the people, and it is we the people who ultimately decide which law and which type of government we will live under. If any of the three branches can be deemed to be illegitimate, it should be the one that is furthest from the popular will.

"Where does the buck stop?"

With the State and Federal Judges that both condemned her to death.
The Federal one took Jeb out of this.

Michael is also looking for millions after her death in book, movie and speaking deals as the new darling of the culture of death.

The buck stops where you know you are breaking the law.
