But Governors do not have the authority to ignore court rulings.

Nonsense, they do it all the time. Governors DO have the authority to provide the support necessary to enforce Congressional subpoenas.

Governors DO have the authority to call out the state militia to enforce the peace.

Governors DO have the authority to call out the state militia to execute state law (Terri's law).

Probate judges (for that matter all judges) DO NOT have the authority to sentence a person to death without an indictment and trial by a jury of their peers.

Terri’s Law, was ruled unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court.

I’m not going to be a Jeb defender/promoter so I will drop the subject. I think there were far greater villains in this case and Jeb tried to be on the right side. My 2¢, worth nothing more.

Jerk needs to go back to screwing up the education system instead. He’s just annoying and proves once again that he’s a killer.
