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