Please explain what legal authority Gov. Bush possesses to take charge of this case.

As has been cited on other threads, Governor Bush has expressed a desire to intervein, but lacks the legal means to do so.

Now if you know of a legal avenue that the Governor or anyone else for that matter can take to step in, please let us know.

This is an atrocity, and none would dare say otherwise. But groundless accusations and attacks on the Governor serve no one.

Have you been READING? Both the Thomas More Law Center and Judicial Watch have provided openings and strategies for Bush to intervene.

He is wringing his hands. Apparently the poll numbers aren't right.

I suspect that he will find out too late that the backlash on this one will be overwhelming.

Unfortunately I believe you are correct.

He has meekly mewled, shrugged his shoulders, and sighed. If he cannot use his legal authority to save her life, he should BOLDLY use his moral authority to express his outrage loud and often. He should use the governorship as a bully pulpit to call for a change in the law, to challenge the Florida legislature to do its duty to protect innocent life. If what is required is a state constitutional amendment, he ought to take the lead to promote it.

If it is too late to save Terri, Jeb ought not let her murder be in vain. He must lay the groundwork now to prevent the murders of future innocents such as Terri.

In my opinion, he's showing moral cowardice--not competence. If I were a Florida resident, I'd be just as meek and equivocal when deciding whether to vote for him. Until and unless he shows the spine and vigor to back up his pro-life verbiage, he deserves nothing better.

I have a hypothetical question maybe someone could help me with. IF Jeb just went with one of the legal briefs that said he has the authority to stop this (even IF they are wrong) and just DID it...what would be the ramifications to Jeb? I certainly do believe he would be hailed as a hero but what, if anything besides pissin' and moanin' could the liberals do about him saving her life (especially without looking like the ghouls they are). Thanks.
