Hands tied? Bull! He has the state police at his disposal. And even the national guard.
I assume you posted this from your PDA or SmartPhone outside the hospice.
Bush is so intent on getting the feeding tube in they are overlooking the fact that she may be able to take nourishment by mouth. She is swallowing saliva and we don't know that she can't handle nourishment by mouth because Greer and Michael have prevented any attempts. She has the basic human right to try. Has anyone attempted to challenge Greer on this? If Greer exceeded his authority and violated her basic human rights in his zeal to kill her then the Governor has every right and obligation to step in and stop this judicial abuse of her human rights and he can do it right now. The problem seems to be he wants the courts permission to do the right thing but he isn't going to get it.
Could be true for some, I suppose.I Know it frustrates me.
>> I assume you posted this from your PDA or SmartPhone outside the hospice.
Actually I posted this from my home in Pennsylvania. Why did you make that assumption?
Of course it is frustrating watching this innocent woman being starved to death. We should not ask others to do what we will not do.
Because you called another man a wimp. I didn't figure someone who would do that would be sitting comfortably in his house, while Jeb Bush works day and night to find a legal way to rescue this woman.
Amen, sister.
Speaking of trolls.
The ideology that we're fighting against is the ideology which says that legality only exists within the framework of "democracy". It's an ideology that unfortunately has been around for a surprisingly long time in this country, but needs to be euthanazed, fast.

Did you miss my point? The Co Sheriff is the Supreme law enforcement agency in that co. All I'm saying is that the Sheriff could save her and Jeb would be left holding the bag. Most people don't realize the power the Sheriff has.
What really bothers me, that a governor has the authority to give clemency to a criminal, sparing a murderer's life, but doesn't have the authority to commute the death sentence of an innocent woman, being murdered in a cruel way.
This is such a perfectly approriate cartoon...
Well,I think asking is OK.
It isn't Jeb -- it's the judges like Whittemore, who deliberately set on the case for a full 24 hrs, before ruling, to slow down the process deliberately.
