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.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

8 years of a dictator (Clinton) was enough for me. I don't want another, esp. from the GOP.

[hiredhand]

I'm hoping that whatever Jeb does in the days to come changes the attitudes of those who are so critical of him now.

Just wondering...What do you think would have happened if the Pope himself went to give Terri water? Just been on my mind today. I'm not blaming Jeb Bush or Pres at this point. I think they tried.

[Arthur McGowan]

There are those who would have had him apply the full power of the federal government, using armed force to wrest Terri from her executioners. Nothing would have delighted me more, but we live in a nation governed by the Constitution and there is nothing in that document that would permit such an action.

I'm shocked to learn that Phil Brennan has never heard of the Fourteenth Amendment.

[Lancey Howard]

I'm sick and tired of all the lame excuses.
Terri Schiavo died slowly and barbarically for two weeks while the politicians watched, and now she's dead. That's forever.

[I still care]

As I watched this mess, I kept thinking of Gavin Newsom, the SF mayor who broke the law to marry gays. He kept saying he was obeying the Constitution. I had nothing but scorn for him.

His job as mayor was to enforce and obey CA law, not apply his standards of right and wrong. Jeb was in the same position.

This is the fault of Greer, lousy lawyers, and a legislature that wouldn't pass the correct law to stop this.

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.

And I'm sick and tired of all those fools that insist Jebby properly exercised the full extent of his executive power to save her. If he had it would have provoked (oh dear!) a constitutional crisis, which by the way need not be resolved in favor of an incorrect judiciary. Well, by not acting he created a consitutional crisis anyway (It's not over either) and abdicated his responsibilities. He is a wimp. Pure and simple. You guys go vote for him..he is toast.

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.

A law is a bill passed by both houses of the Florida Legislature, and signed by a Governor.

What Florida law prevented Governor Bush from taking Mrs. Schiavo into protective custody?

[sgtbono2002]

He could have sent in the National Guard with fixed bayonets and ridden a White Horse at the front of the pack.

Keep chanting that mantra...:)

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

I didn't want Jeb to exceed the law, but I am extremely disappointed he didn't enforce all of the law. FL law governing the treatment and protection of the disabled allowed him to order DCF to take control of her and her care. The executive branch is not subservient to the judicial branch. As head of the executive branch, Jeb was not required to submit to Judge Greer's order stopping the enforcement of the DCF law. Judge's cannot order the executive branch to follow some laws and disregard others. If anyone thought Jeb had overstepped the law detailing the responsibilities of DCF and the care of the disabled, they could have appealed in the courts, the same way her parents and her husband already had. If new and more detailed testing proved the diagnosis of PVS was accurate, she could still be allowed to die. Now, because that wasn't done, we may never know if we allowed the death of a cognizant disabled woman. BTW, if you will note my tag line you may know why I vigorously oppose both of the Bush brothers in their stand on closed adoptions.

[Walkin Man]

Those who blame this fiasco on Jeb Bush are just witless drooling idiots, mindless tools of the demorat party. Enabling and clearing the way for President Hillary Clinton and the loss of control of the Congress.

Jeb did all that he could short of wiping his a** with the Constitution, picking up a gun and killing a bunch of sheriffs at the hospice!

If certain mentally unstable whack-jobs object to what Jeb didn't do, it only makes him look better to sane Americans everywhere!
