"I hope this shows that Jeb was serious. He only backed off to avert a state of FL civil war. Those who think Jeb was not going to act are wrong, he only backed off to avert a major firefight over Terri. I know some would still want that, but I think Jeb made the right call in the end."

I agree.

SOme of the extreme pro-life crowd won't be happy until there are several killings in order to save this woman... It would be funny if it wasn't so scary.

I hate to say it, but short of massive political pressure at the county level, I don't see any more legal options for Jeb and company. At some point there needs to be a strategy for ensuring that Terri's passing doesn't go unremembered or unpunished.

1. Is this judge appointed or elected? If he is elected, when is he next up for reelection? What is the voter breakdown in that county (that is, how realistic is removing him?) Just how difficult can this judge's life become?

2. Is there evidence to show possible criminal wrongdoing on the part of MS and/or other interested parties? I don't mean pipe-dream nonsense, but actual evidence. I'd settle for a nice, long trial that made his life h*ll and made him burn up the ill-gotten gains from the malpractice suit. The SOB shouldn't be allowed to spend it on a house/car/vacation.

Any other suggestions?

I agree too. Jeb knew he had a very tiny window of opportunity to accomplish this. Felos was tipped off (I'm betting before DCF ever got out of their doors), requested the RO, served it to DCF when they were confronted. Thus the window was closed before they could take action. The only recourse DCF had was to appeal to the higher courts at this point, but they were turned down.
