Could it also be that the governor won't use protective custody for fear of the Pinellas Co. establishment, not fear of MRS or George W. Greer in particular? He can exert extralegal authority, as other strong, decisive people have in the past.

HST used it against the steel industry, but he was stopped by the Supreme Court. Still Bush could buy Terri a few precious hours. Honestly, how could anyone survive 24 more hours in her condition.
