Since it is difficult for me to financially afford the flight to DC I made my views known to both the Whitehouse and The Gov's office via email and phone.

Did you read that EO from 2003? What does "one time" mean?

You did, more power to you, but instead of going on a Bush bash orgy, maybe just maybe put the blame where it belongs, an arrogant and corrupt judicial system.

Yes he is

I Solemnly swear to Uphold and Defend the Constitution of the United States agains ALL enemies, foreign AND domestic.

Amendment V to the US Constitution clearly states.

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Terri was executed publicly without Due process.

He violated his oath by failing to upload that Amendment in MY opinion. No other Law in the Land can trump THAT RIGHT!

Seen it, read it. Greer, although I dont agree with him, ruled in accordance with law based on doctors testimony.
The laws need changing, the doctors need to e held accountable. How you can go from a Judge who rules within his boundaries (even if I didnt like his ruling or agree with him) to blaming the Governor?

I agree a swallow test should have been ordered on her again. Although Greer ruled based on an earlier swallow test. Even tho I don't agree with his ruling, he had the right to do so within the law.

Again; not Jeb's fault.

Change the law, change the lawyers.

The schindlers lawyer sucked, period. and so did their "spokesperson".

Oh, okay.

I didn't know Terri had committed a crime. That changes everything.

At the very least, he could have done for Terri what he did for Amos King.

King was found guilty of the murder of 68-year-old Tarpon Springs resident Natalie Brady 25 years ago. He was caught in bloody clothing, trying to slip back into a work-release prison from which he had escaped.

"I take this duty very seriously," Jeb Bush said. "It's not an easy thing to do. I want to make sure that if there is the chance of some evidence that might yield a different result that it would be looked at."

Jeb Bush chose to invoke his powers as the Governor of the State of Florida to to overcome the court ordered execution of a monster and and yet, he chose not to use that same power to overcome the court ordered execution of an innocent woman.

Jeb Bush was like a man that sees a child drowning in a lake but sees a sign that says "no swimming" so he points to the sign and says "sorry, can't help ya".

Precisely.

Greer and SCOFLA ("Scofflaw") invalidated the 2003 law and executive order without any real constitutional basis. Therefore the 2003 order was still in force and should have been enforced. Then DCF was compelled by law to act but was forbidden by an unlawful order from Judge Greer subsequently upheld by Scofflaw, sure that the governor would avoid a "constitutional crisis" at all costs.

Your actual citations, as well as Phil Brennan's, are remarkably thin. It sounds like you have a conclusion you want but are unable to articulate a defense for it.

This is hardly one issue for me. It's pro-life, anti-euthanasia, and the restoration of the balance of powers. It's being against globalism, against Ginsburg's unwarranted consideration of foreign law and opinion, against the LOST and the tide of illegal immigrants. The Schiavo disaster was just the last straw. I was way right before, now I'm extreme far right.

Not being judgmental. But it does take you out of the decision making mix, as I'm sure you understand. Just curious, is there a political party you would consider?

No idea, not a clue, who passed around the memo making everybody back off the Schiavo case. I just know somebody did.

Again, no sarcasm intended, but how do you know? Did you see a memo? I can't for the life of me see any earthly power that could that directly influence the president, leaders of both houses of Congress, the judiciary and a state governor. If you know, there must be some information there. Thanks.

"I'm sick and tired of all the fools who say they can't vote for Jeb because he didn't go beyond the law."

That's quite convenient considering that we're now at the point where the "law" is whatever liberal judges say it is.

I'm not in the least bit surprised that Governor Bush felt bound by the court's orders. Traditionally, our politicians scream and yell and hint that they may not comply with court's orders, but in the end we can usually count on compliance. Truman gave back the steel mill he seized; public schools were integrated; Nixon turned over the tapes, etc., etc.

"Scarcely any political question arises in the United States that is not resolved, sooner or later, into a judicial question." - Alexis de Tocqueville (1838) Rightly or wrongly, it's just the way we've ordinarily done things in this country.

When there exists a conflict between the branches of government, the initial question is always "Who decides?" And, if the question is asked of a court, the court's answer is usually pretty predictable.

But the question of "who decides" really begs the question. That's why we always hear, "Wait a minute - who decides who decides?" LOL. And that's just one of the reasons that this is such an interesting place to live. ;-)

This website may explain why so many Americans were comfortable with the murder of poor Terri Schindler. Readers may or may not be able to open it. And the site is not about Terri directly.

Would it have been Karl Rove who sent the memo urging that the powers-that-be back away from Terri's murder?

Well, anything's possible, but a couple of points. First, I doubt that Rove has that much power. He may have sent a memo (assuming one exists) urging caution before treading in uncharted waters, though, which may have given those recipients pause.

Secondly, if the charge is murder, it would seem to be a state not a federal issue.
