Had he intervened any sooner, shouts of interference with the judicial process would have accompanied any move he made.

Let me see if I understand your point. Jeb could not involve himself in the case before now, because it would look bad for a governor to involve himself in a case before the courts. So while this case is still being decided by the court Jeb issued a letter making an intervention in the court. You seem to be saying that an intervention by a governor in the courts is not an intervention by a governor if he waits until after the supreme court decision on a preliminary ruling on a matter before the court.. UHHHH HUH!!! OK I got it figured out.. You used to date Paul Begala.... right? Whatever did he whisper in your ear?

In seems to me it matters not if a governor intervenes in a court before or after a preliminary ruling is upheld. Either way it involves the governor making an intervention in the courts.

Would the governor look more like a court bully by taking on the Supreme court or the local county court? Should he intervene in the local court early or late? The decision was ... WHEN... not .. IF ... to intervene.

Gov. Bush just intervened in the local court DESPITE the Supreme courts decision AGAINST his position. It takes GUTS to do that... not fear of criticism.

I rest my case or at least plan to cool it off in the 'frig until it is ready for human, or in my case inhuman, consumption.

LOL....I just think Gov Bush was waiting for the court to render its decision, and it did, late Friday. I guess he could have also filed an amicus brief prior to Friday, but other than doing that, I don't know what he could have done. I think he did the right thing here. Maybe we can agree on that. And leave my private life out of it. :)

I'll agree with you on that point. Gov Bush has often been a gutsy governor.
