Perhaps I am. But I don't see what he can do here when the entire judiciary from top to bottom is just giving him the middle finger, without starting an armed conflict in Florida. Somebody has to make a decision to resolve any kind of dispute in our society, and we have given that power to the judiciary (unwisely at this point in time.) But the judiciary decide how disputes will end without armed conflict between the different factions of our society. If people do not follow the decisions of judges, then we surely will end up in numerous armed conflicts and literally firefights between various groups.

And that is exactly where this would have gone if Jeb had moved in with his state police into that hospice defended by local police. It would have ended in an armed conflict and possible shootout between two police forces. Now you may say "well that's fine because it's the right thing to do and we have to fight for Terri." That may actually be true in this one case, but what kind of precedent does that set for the future? Do you want a DemocRAT President thumbing his nose at the Supreme Court and sending troops in to enforce his will on society? Jeb was looking through the present crisis into the future and I think he made the right decision here. To survive politically, he has to explain all this to the people and then take Greer down hard.
