I think that's a BIG part of it.
Also, the repetition of the phrase "rule of law," within the context of "the judge has spoken." It's the libs who have so many Republicans conditioned to think that "checks and balances" means that the courts have the final word, and are supposed to check and balance the legislative and executive branches of government. This concept has been subconsciously absorbed, and later cited, by a great number of people on the right side of the aisle. However, nothing could be further from the truth: that our Constitutional government is composed of three co-equal branches, each of which possess powers to check and balance the other two.
Unfortunately for Terri, Jeb Bush refuses to use his executive powers to check and balance the judiciary. This obsevation is not bashing - it's an accurate and dispassionate assessment of the facts.
Your post is sound.
The Bushes have been raised to work within the system, and that system is virtually accepted as one where the courts have final say on everything, and court orders are to be obeyed even when wrong.
Not only is this view now resulting in Terri's torture and death, but it puts all of America at risk from the pro-death, tyrannical Judicial branch.
I don't attack the Bushes, because I think they think they are doing the only thing they have ever known to be correct. I do say they have the wrong view, because of just what you wrote. It is beyond tragic and infuriating.
Poor Terri and her wonderful, suffering family.
Poor the rest of us; any of us are next. If you have a directive and think not, think again. It can very well not be adhered to, for reasons you can't anticipate.
