I'm surprised Alan's still around after the 2004 election. Clearly he needs an income thus we should expect he'd pop up to be heard.

Amazing how my view of him has changed since 2000 when I was a Keyster.

Amen!

Choose 'life'.....

/the 'terrorists' within?

[steveegg]

Amen.

Judges have way too much power. I think it's time for them to start having to shoulder some responsibility for their decisions, such as letting child molesters go free to molest (and possibly kill) again.

Letting Terri Shiavo starve to death against her parents wishes, listening only to the estranged husband whose motives are suspect, is incomprehensible.

Keyes usually gets it right, and this is no exception.

A murderous oligarchy of judges and trial lawyers threatens this land. If the President of the United States can do nothing against their tyranny (I speak as an observer), what can the average guy do?

"The governor at any point has the right to intervene," said Keyes. "And if he fails to act, he is failing to do his duty."

Keyes speaks the truth. Jeb........... do it....... NOW.

[beyond the sea]

He still speaks well on most things.

So many conservatives have been basically brainwashed over the years to accept the concept of an imperial judicially. Their minds have been dulled by continual sipping of that poisonous Kool-Aid. So much so that now Keyes is seen as a 'fringe' voice in thge matter.

Good God! Where are we and how did we get here?

Well, my gut instinct was wrong; I thought Jeb was going in last night. I see on the board that he is filing before Gouhl Greer. The attorney needs to move that Greer recuse for conflict of interest.

If Jeb Bush doesn't do this today (DCF)........ he will fail all good people of this country. What in the world is the delay? Does he happen to know that Terri is being slipped some water and food on the side?

If not, then go get her, Jeb. Do not allow this crime to win over decency. Don't let this evil mark Easter week.

Allan Keyes?

Can Ross Perot be far behind?

[don-o]

Correct. "The rule of law" in now a concept without content. What we are seeing is rule by outlaws.

[ex-Texan]

Alan Keyes told Sean Hannity that Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is authorized by the Florida and national constitutions to intervene and spare brain-damaged Terri Schiavo from starvation.

"The governor at any point has the right to intervene," said Keyes. "And if he fails to act, he is failing to do his duty."

I would go a bit further than Keyes. Jeb Bush has a positive duty to act, he is required by law to act. But he will not act today or tomorrow or ever. Terri Schiavo will die in the next 12 hours.

Bush must act quickly to preseve Terri's body. It may be evidence of a crime. He has a legal duty to act quickly to preserve her body. But he will not even do that. He will allow the body to be seized by the husband and destroyed by cremation. Thereby possibly destroying the only evidence that exists of how Terri was disabled.

But Jeb Bush will not even do that much. 'Nuff said.

The only person missing from this whole story is Jesse Jackson...

Not Perot, but Larry Klayman.

I wouldn't really take Keyes' word for it.

[AmericaUnited]

Jeb Bush has a positive duty to act, he is required by law to act.

NOTE to all the legalists out there, he 'SHALL' defend the Constitution, not he 'MAY' defend it!!!

Hey Jim...thanks for the post...hope all is well!

I believe Alan makes a "key" point here. The judicial branch does go unchecked and our legal system has blundered so many things it is time for more over-sight and more call to action to do the "right" thing.

Hopefully someone will step in on Terry's behalf.
