re: I just don't understand all the anger at Jeb Bush

My anger is simply that he called a news conference and assured everyone he had found a way to get the job done and then let a minor league judge at the COUNTY level talk him out of using it.

surely you're not calling clinton, the low-life hillbilly that gives hillbillys a bad name - a "blue blood?"
---
Well, he went to Oxford,Yale,G'town. Snob factories. That piousness rubbed off on him, some.
***

but seriously, if you aren't a lefty, why don't you take your anger out on those that are the true enemy - the dem/socialists that have loaded the courts with these bloodless activist judges? And help Pres. Bush get his judges in -
----
I don't blame dogs for acting like dogs, but I expected better out of the Bushes, but alas, find myself on the losing side.

I get a bad feeling we're going to get another Souter on the court this fall. Experience since Jan. 20,1989 has made me rightly cynical.

I miss Reagan.

How would it be crossing a line for Jeb to just call the police back from the hospice?

he can order the STATE police - not the local. and the local police who surround the hospice have been given orders by Greer no to let the state police on the grounds.

Short of a shoot out - ???

Well, the judge has made the order, right? So wouldn't jeb using his power to circumvent that order be "abuse of power" and "aiding and abetting a crime"? The Executive branch is neither higher no lower than either of the other two branches of government.

Greer does not LEGALLY have any police.

no - but he has issued a court order - and they have to obey

I've been of the opinion that Congress ought to send Federal Marshals to visit Greer with a contempt of Congress issuing, at the very least, for his actually taking action to kill the subpoenaed witness! Friday morning would be a good time to arrest Greer, say 6AM, while simultaneously taking protective custody of Terri and whisking her to a hospital for IV's and reinsertion of the food port. But then I fancy myself to be a storyteller/novelist ...

I don't get your reasoning. If the police, part of the executive branch, can be ordered around by a judge, how does that make the executive branch in any way separate, much less equal?

It wouldn't do "wonders" for Jeb.

The people of Florida can and SHOULD impeach Greer. That is their legal recourse.

They could get the PET within 24 hours of rehydrating her. It shows what brain activity is happening.

The GOP could have the AG pull a Reno and save the woman, but they don't have what it takes to win.

"In a January 10th hearing, Florida Family Court Judge Rosa Rodriguez ruled that Elian should stay with Miami relatives until a later hearing, to be held in March. That hearing was to determine if Elian would be harmed by going back to communist Cuba.

Attorney General Janet Reno announced that the family court ruling had no validity, and she backed the INS decision on Elian's status."

maybe he's lying about that too because supposedly he injected terri with an insulin shot under the breast to throw of her sugar levels and her metabolism. nothing that that comes from that lying scumsucking sonavabitch is true. he should be fed alive to wild animals. oh, where is my compassion? right next to the ten gallon drum of tar.

Actually, he called a pressser and went to Greer to ask permission to take Terri. Some leadership, that!

Several associates noted that he had been devoutly religious longer than President Bush,...

Is this an accurate statement or is it attempt portray Jeb as religious nut?

I don't think President Bush wears his religion on his sleeve, so to speak, anymore than his predecessors did. Reagan is the first president I remember ever saying God Bless America. Clinton was always showing up at black churches followed by the paparazzi.

He [Greer]could get impeached for that. Let's hope he is.

amen - there's an impeach movement on him now - been in the works for some time, I believe.

We just have to help Pres. Bush get his judges in - he's very aware that we have a runaway activist judiciary - we have to scream at our senators to pull the plug on the evil 60-vote illegal rule. We are in the majority, d*mn it!

I would gladly take a yes from Whittemore. There would still be the PET scan.

police are part of the judical branch, they enforce laws that judges rule on. follow the tran of logic. you get arrested by the police, then you go before a judge. Police arrest, Judges sentence.
