I just saw a clip of Jeb on The Capital Gang where he delivered the news that he "could not" intervene. It was the first time that I had seen that. It was not his finest hour. I think he has lost many future votes because of his failure to act though I understand the argument that he had no power to intervene.

I understand the argument that he had no power to intervene.

He should have declared that any police officers who tried to prevent DCF from carrying out their legal duties would be deemed to be in a state of insurection, and sent in the National Guard to deal with them.

I fault Jeb LESS for not doing something this past week, than what HE COULD HAVE BEEN DOING for the past 10 years. He could have gotten some kind of investigation put together, I would think. He could have been more involved with the law makers to change the law about feeding tubes, these past 10 years. The last minute crunch, if that were all the time he had to do something about is not the case here. Why couldn't have have gotten some kind of law enforcement investigation into the "alleged" criminal abuses?
