The Terri Schiavo incident is still charged. Paul took the minimal response.Newt took the stark comparison of the state killing an innocent citizen versus the appeals granted a condemned murderer.
You say Jeb didn't "wimp out"; he began boldly to defend and promptly caved to Judge Greer, George Felos, and Michael Schiavo.
Frist, too, began boldly, and promptly caved.
The water is still too hot for Jeb to run now as the establishment's Plan B.

Exactly! And Newt should have gone further by stating that Terri Schiavo DID NOT give permission to off herself, IN WRITING, if in a vegetative state; that was hearsay lies promulgated by the very person who would benefit from her murder: Michael Schiavo. Therefore, absent consent, the default position should have been LIFE, as guaranteed under the Constitution.
I don’t think that’s a totally fair assessment of this
horrendous tragedy and murder, and Jeb Bush’s part. I think he did all in his constitutional power as someone who took the oath as a governor could. Would a full frontal, unconstitutional, bold physical conflict and assault have been the preferred alternative ..... ? Can’t say I wasn’t fervently wishing, praying for a Chuck Norris swoop in, taking her to the safety of her loving parents, but ..
When you have demons like Michael Schiavo and Judge
Greer and godless politicians and judges, there may’ve been
no end to their evil mission. Only God knows.
It’s just a grossly sickening, despicable chapter in our country. I still physically cringe at the thought. God love you, Terri .. you’ll never be forgotten.
Take small comfort in the fate that awaits Michael .. someOne else has their sights on him and the equally evil Judge Greer. God will not be mocked.

On Sept. 17, 2003, a Florida court authorized Schiavo to remove his wife’s tube. On Oct. 15, 2003, the tube was removed and Terri began a slow death by dehydration. Six days after that, Gov. Bush signed a law enacted by the Florida legislature allowing him to issue a one-time .. stay of the court order ... that authorized the removal of Terri’s nutrition-and-hydration tube.
Bush ordered the tube restored, and Terri is alive today.
This week, however, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to accept Bush’s appeal of a Florida Supreme Court decision that overturned what became known as Terri’s Law.

Yes, it’s too hot for Jeb. He might be called a co-murderer if he runs for anything at all.
