Jeb Bush: Willingness to compromise in DC is gone

Sometimes, you just have to do what is right, even if it costs you something.

By that logic, either you are planning on blowing up an abortion clinic tonight, or you are a hypocrite.

Governore Bush, who is a pro-life Catholic, used every legal means at his disposal, and then respected the court's decision, even though he disagreed with it. To do otherwise would have set a very dangerous precedent. I happened to be living in Palm Beach County when this was going on, was not a fan of Jeb Bush, and hated what was happening. Nevertheless, Jeb Bush did everything in his power to prevent the outcome. To say otherwise is to attempt to override the facts for the sake of personal political prejudices. It's like saying Obama deserves no credit for giving the order to kill bin Laden. It sounds petty.

Jeb Bush: Willingness to compromise in DC is gone

Jeb, you moron, willingness to compromise in DC was never a characteristic of liberal Democrats. It only meant getting half of what they wanted now when the Republicans compromise and the other half later when the Republicans compromise again lest they be called bitter partisans by the Democrats.

Eff Mitch McConnell and other such folks. Republicans, dig in your heels and use every trick in the book and every parliamentary procedure to neuter the liberal Democrats until they can be eliminated. "It's a WAHHHH, Larry! It's a WAHHHH!"

And what precedent was set by the ungodly horrible death of Terri Schiavo?

Was that in any way justice on any level?

Jeb Bush had more options, as I laid out. He was too chicken to use them.

The judiciary is not sacrosanct. Liberal judges have proved that over and over.

All the king’s men could not save an innocent woman from a horrible death.

Thus, you must think Mr. Schiavo had an inviolate right to determine his wife’s fate, and there were no other societal considerations at all.

You must enjoy living in the Middle Ages.

None dumbass. A precedent would have been set had a sitting governor decided to use the state police (your suggestion) to overrule the legal decision of a District Court of appeals (upheld by the State Supreme Court) because he disagreed with it. Naturally, the next Democrat in the Florida State House would feel justified in also ruling by fiat.

Tell me—what was the reasoning of the judge in denying Terri Schiavo any moisture until she died?

What part of a just, legal ruling was that?

Tell me—what was the reasoning of the judge in denying Terri Schiavo any moisture until she died?

Unless the judge's name was Jeb Bush, your question is irrelevant to our conversation.

I don't know how to be any more clear about this: Everything about the Terri Schiavo case sucks. Our disagreement deals specificially on you irrationally trying to lay the blame on Jeb Bush.
