Let's all back up for a second. Do you all not think Jeb Bush, who has been the most consisten outspoken public advocate on this, is not seriously pondering this option? You all act like he's sitting around and doesn't care. He cares and is trying to come up witht he right thing that will have the most positive effect. He has to weigh his decisions and how it would play out. Some of us act like he can just do whatever and all--anytime you're essentially going to defy a court order (which It hink he should), you have to think it through just a tad. He's going through every last hoop available. I believe in my heart Gov. Bush is doing his very best. I think the demonizing of him on here--he's our main ally--is unfortunate. Without Jeb, there is no chance here.
No one is bad mouthing Jeb, and Jeb is smart enought not to open his mouth with idel threats without thinking things thru first. I think Jeb will make his move tonight, that is why I am staying up.
I've not been demonizing him. I've simply been reminding him of his Executive powers and DUTIES that are included in his oath to uphold the constitution of the State of Florida.
Section Two of that document is unequivocal in it's defense of innocent human life. It even explicitly includes the disabled.
The Fifth Amendment, which everyone seems to ignore, is also clear as could possibly be. A ten year old can easily understand its meaning.
It's too late for "pondering", the woman is near death now. Action, and only action, is what is needed now.
Even if he ultimately fails and I pray he does not, he would no doubt be mournful but would have no reason to blame himself.
That burden is on those who compelled him to intercede.
