I think Jeb would have gone in had the legislature said "we'll back you up". people need to realize the scenario that plays out if you do this. I think he has the authority, but Greer would immediately have him in contempt and in violation ofa court order, and probably ask someone to bring him up on kidnapping. with the fl sc being on his side, Jeb would have had to have a lot of other ducks going. He's haave to somehow prevent his own arrest, be able to guard Terri, and probably have to have his brother agree to send in federal troops as well,a nd have the legislature back him up with any new law. Given the Senate vote, the fl SC, there is only so much Jeb could do without turning the state into a civil war. Is that what people really want? I hate to ask this, but I know her parents are emotional, but is that really what Terri would want? There is a purpose in all of this--it is HOly Week after alll--and I dont know what that is, but as someone who has been as passionate of defender of Terri as any (arguing with some on here even), asking Jeb to start a civil war is over the top. It's not like he didn't explore the options.
I guarantee you Jeb Bush will be one of the first to cry when Terri passes. And right now he's wishing he could do more. He's explored every avenue, as has Terri's parents. It's awful what is going on, and I"m frustrated too. But scorn should be directed at the FL Senate, judges, etc, not Jeb Bush. Jeb Bush is the last person anyone should scorn.
