The only parallel I can think of this is where Andrew Jackson defied the Supreme Court to send all the Indians to Oklahoma.

I don't care what the courts say. As Governor of Florida, Jeb Bush is required by his oath to execute their orders after all appeals are filed. He can oppose it personally or resign if he can't do that. If he can just decide to violate an order, then we have a dictatorship and a tyranny which I will not tolerate.

Wake up. We already have a dictatorship. The judges run this country.

"The only parallel I can think of this is where Andrew Jackson defied the Supreme Court to send all the Indians to Oklahoma. "

This, and other cases like Waco or the internment of the Japanese during WWII are hardly great shining moments in the (ab)use of executive power.

Power corrupts. Those who advocate any means to achieve the ends of saving Terri's life will find those means later used, by our enemies, for ill effect.
