Jeb, based on Greer's flaunting of the protective services investigation...send in state troopers TODAY to take her into protective custody until that investigation can be completed. Clearly, if she dies, the very object of that investigation will have been thwarted...to PROTECT her

You are within your rights to do so as the executive, and decent, virtuous citizens all over this nation would respect and applaud it.

Jeff, that would take more courage than either the President or the Governor is likely to show. Peter Jennings would be very mad at them if they did that.

The NYT's and the Miami Herald would say mean things about them.

But what is worse is that no male in her family has even been arrested for trying to save her life.

Sorry but I think Terri has as much of a future as the Jews in Gaza. In both cases everyone who has any power is against them and their supporters are too timid to make the hard decisions that could save them.

[Law]

If Jeb Bush really wants to help Terri, why doesn't he direct Florida law enforcement to arrest Michael Shiavo for criminal adultery and while he is in jail (even overnight before the bail hearing) have, or petition to have, a new guardian appointed, perhaps on the basis that Michael can't do the job in jail or must be replaced because of the criminal charges?

I did a google search on "Florida law adultery criminal" and found a web site that claims that under section 798.01 of the Florida code that:

"Whoever lives in an open state of adultery shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083." Reportedly, punishment for a misdemeanor of the second degree can be up to 60 days imprisonment.

I don't know how new guardians are chosen but would think her parents are the logical alternative and know they would direct her to be fed and given water again.

Even if this doesn't work to save Terri, why not do it? If you're going to arrest people who are just trying to take water to Terri, why won't you arrest the man who is killing her for his own violations of Florida law? Why does he get a free pass? Because adultery is popular but saving people from murder by starvation is not?

Gov. Jeb Bush renewed his call for the Legislature to step in and ``spare Terri's life.''

It is obvious, at this point, that only the Chief Executive of the state of Florida has the constitutional power to save Terri's life. Hopefully, he will not take the Pontius Pilate route with his authority.

[spycatcher]

Terri's only hope: Executive Power (her life is in the hands of the Bush family)

[Dante3]

Of course Jeb Bush can do it. He should have done it long ago. Is he waiting for her to die so he wouldn't need to do anything? I hope not. Terri might just become his Mary Jo.

[Libertina]

I agree 100%. PUT HER INTO PROTECTIVE CUSTODY NOW!

[PistolPaknMama]

send in state troopers TODAY to take her into protective custody until that investigation can be completed.

I second.
