The fact is, Jeb Bush had it within his power to get Terri Schiavo OUT of that execution center (aka 'hospice'), if need be by calling up the damn Florida National Guard

On the grounds that...what? Jeb Bush has legal guardianship? Not according to the courts. The state has legal guardianship? Not according to the courts.

Her husband had legal guardianship.

Do you expect a governoror the state to remove someone from a place when you have legal guardianship of that person? And the courts say you do?

I hate to break this news to you, but Gov Jeb Bush, as good as he is, is not God. Gov Bush is subject to the laws of the State of Florida, like it or not.

That's why my post #1 concerned changing the law. No man is above the law. But sometimes, perhaps, we need a new law.

I think Jeb messed up by not calculating the end results but his motives were good. JMHO

We got a new law, one at the federal level, a new law that the judicial tyrants in this country thumbed their damn noses at. By your logic, we should all have "obeyed the law" and been good liddle colonists in 1776, and bowed the knee to the Crown.

HEY, we could be just like Canada!

IOW, "BZZZZZT", wrong answer.

Does it not seem a bit odd to you that people like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King are hailed today because they did NOT blindly follow the "law" when that law was unjust? They did not meekly "know their place" and sit quietly until the unjust law was done away with, and fair laws were enacted, but Jeb Bush bows the knee to his judicial master in Pinellas County, and everyone wants to hail him as some kind of hero?

Oh yes, the "Law" trumps all, regardless of the end result. Ask those law abiding Germans about their experience with that from 1932 to 1945...
