I hope I will be permitted to post this in Front Page news.
The reason is that so many people say that Gov. Bush should have done more and he didn't do enough, and this article shows that he is going above and beyond, leaving no stone unturned to save Terri.
With so many posts, if I posted it to another thread, a lot of people would miss it, and I think Gov. Bush deserves that people know how hard he is trying to save Terri.

I want to know why the courts are free to ignore the authority of the legislature, the U.S. Congress & the executive branch, while the governor for some reason feel obligated to kowtow to the courts.

"It is frustrating for people to think that I have power that I don't, and not be able to act," Bush told The Associated Press on Thursday.
Jeb! You were elected as the executive authority of the state of Florida! All state civil servants take their orders from you! You have a judiciary engaged in a conspiracy to concel evidence and to assist in murder. Your citizens have the RIGHT TO LIFE!
Act, Jeb. Play the man!

Some people just don't feel normal if they aren't bitching. Jeb is doing all he can, bottom line.

i don't have any issue with either president bush or governor bush on this. they've done more than others in their place would have done.
but i find the death of this woman disgusting.
i cannot believe that our country is so mean-spirited (to use a democrat term).

I only hope that regarless of how the Schiavo issue is resolved. that the governor will take it upon himself to force some changes in his state's corrections and law enforcement departments. Maybe he can prevent some future child molester from being paroled, or if paroled then at least keep track of the molester's whereabouts. That might keep some future 9 year old girl from being abducted, assaulted for a day or two, and then buried a few hundred yards from her own bedroom.

YES, if he had the political will and intestinal fortitude to have a knock-down drag-out fight with the judiciary. He doesn't, and the judges have won. They are now the ultimate authority in Florida.
To: Sloth
Excellent point.
I've often wondered that too.
To: FairOpinion
the only "thing" that Jeb Bush can do is act on his constitutional authority as chief executive of Florida and have the DCF act on its statutory function and take terri into protective custody while abuse is being investigated.
Bush is like the Schindlers....there is nothing going to come through the courts and time is growing shorter. He must ACT and not rely on a court.He can if he will
Greer should be held in contempt of Congress and is violating the law by not holding a de novo review of the case

Today, even the brilliant Judge Bork stated flatly that both President Bush and Governor Bush were out of options -- very sad, but very true.

She will die if he does nothing!No, if Terri dies it's because Michael Schiavo and the judges want her to die. Jeb is doing EVERYTHING within the law to save her.

If that's the case, then it's up to the people.

"It is frustrating for people to think that I have power that I don't, and not be able to act," Bush told The Associated Press on Thursday. "I don't have embedded special powers. I wish I did in this particular case."I wish I'd kept a ping list for this one.

No, if Terri dies it's because Michael Schiavo and the judges want her to die. Jeb is doing EVERYTHING within the law to save her.
This was perfectly legal in Nazi Germany. Would you have advocated adherence to "the law" if you lived there and then instead of here and now?

I'll admit I've been emotional and yelled at a few people because I cannot understand how ANYONE would advocate death. I can understand lashing out in frustration at not being able to stop an innocent's woman Death by decree of the Judiciary.
But Jeb Bush and the President are not the enemies. Terri's family has stated they have no doubt he'd help if he could. perhaps they need to consider why they are on the opposite side of the most affected members.
