Jeb doesn't.
He absolutely does. He could make a public spectacle out of the situation. Show up at the hospice in person and try to feed Terri with his own hands. He could give a thunderous speech denouncing this ghoulish action. Is there any doubt this would create a public outcry that would escalate this case outside the hands of a two-bit judicial rogue? The media would be FORCED to pay attention. True leaders take action in situations like this. Spineless wussies do what Jeb is currently doing.
Unless I see some leadership from him in the near future, he will bear some responsibility for Terri's execution and I personally would judge him unfit for ANY office.

Jeb is showing himself tonight to be nothing more than a scared little boy, intimidated by the hulking figure of the infallible Hanging Judge Greer and the other assorted black robes.
"The almighty Greer has spoken. Who am I to contradict his infinite wisdom?"
"The courts have decided. We must respect them."

Amen, with one comment: it's not only true leaders who take action like this. It's anyone with even a minimal amount of street savvy.
Sometimes it pays to ask WWJD?
So? What would Jesse do?
I think we all know. And I think we all know what the results would be, too.
