"If the courts continue to rule that the governor and the legislative branch have no input, then perhaps Bush should take Terri Schiavo into protective custody under Florida Statute 415.1051."
(2) EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE SERVICES INTERVENTION.--If the department has reasonable cause to believe that a vulnerable adult is suffering from abuse or neglect that presents a risk of death or serious physical injury to the vulnerable adult and that the vulnerable adult lacks the capacity to consent to emergency protective services, the department may take action under this subsection. If the vulnerable adult has the capacity to consent and refuses consent to emergency protective services, emergency protective services may not be provided.
Thanks for the post. It is obvious that Bush can save Terri if he is inclined to do so.
Good find phenn! Quite interesting that they publish it now, probably figured it would get buried in all the Superbowl news.
Post 118 is a good case citation to pass along to Governor Bush. No need to read Jeb's staff the section, but certainly, we can give them the 415.1051 and say it is in re: Emergency Protective Services Intervention.
A Governor has duties and powers. We must firmly but diplomatically ask Jeb Bush to use them!
