What I fault Jeb Bush for is allowing to go apparently unchallenged a blatently illegal and in your face order by Judge Greer that Terri cannot be given water or food by mouth as Terri's parents requested. That is euthanasia and is not permitted under Florida law. On this order at least the Shindler's have the law on their side -- giving water by mouth is not in any shape, fashion or form artificial life support as mentioned in the Florida statute. Any outcome of a trial of drinking, even death by choking, is preferable to what is going on now.

Why are the Shindlers and more importantly Governor Jeb Bush allowing this illegal order, which constitutes arbitrary rule by judicial fiat, to go unchallenged? All our elected officials are obligated by their oaths of office to do everything within their power to protect our constitutional rights and to prevent the usurpation of illegal and arbitrary authority by the judiciary. Without the willingness to do that we effectively live in a judicial thugocracy.

Yes it has, and the Thug has his own armed Mafia now, in Clearwater.

Jeb and George W. Bush should treat this as an armed insurrection.

The Florida Human Services aren't doing their job either.
