There were about 5 legal briefs written and sent to Gov Bush which detailed to him that he did have legal authority. I'm trying to google for them now, I don't recall which site they were posted on.
Just because you have a legal brief doesn't mean you have a leg to stand on. I've seen 'legal' briefs that were written by 'congressman' that were laughable at best and briefs written by lawyers that stated McDonalds was at fault because people were fat. Does that mean those legal briefs hold some sort of value as well?
I have long wondered why John Ellis Bush did not give any consideration to the briefs of the Thomas More Society. Or would he have taken action had the shoe been on the other foot, and the Thomas More Society argued to the contrary?
