Jeb's last Chance
jpsb

Posted on 03/27/2005 3:23:49 PM PST by jpsb

Terry by fighting for her life, has given Jeb one last change. Congress has ordered Terry to appear before them tomorrow. Jeb can enforce that order by siezing Terry and bringing her to D.C. Clearly that his right.

Congress has order Terry to appear. Is a country probate judge more powerful the the Congress of the USA?

That wasn't Jeb Bush who hauled Elian away.

This is nuts.

It's been 10 days already.

Also wasn't that subpeona squashed by the courts?

It's all so tragic but it's over, now.

It's not Jeb's job. You are just setting him up for the sole purpose of trashing him later.

Of course, you already knew that.

I didn;'t realize that it was the duty of state governors to enforce federal congressional supoeanas...

But maybe that's just me....

It is not over, and the subpoena still stands and is still valid. Now if it was all just a dog and pony show by Jeb then yes it's over. But if he eally needs authority to save Terry, then enforce the subpoena.

Jeb won't do squat. His office already said they have exhausted all legal avenues. I have had it with both Bush's. GW should has locked up those judges for contempt of Congress. Jeb blew his chance on Wednesday when he failed to act on having DCF take custody of Terri. Jeb will have to live both personally and politically for having Terri die on his watch. IMHO

Sorry, but what role does a state official have in enforcing a Congressional order? If Congress really wants her, there are US Marshals, FBI and God only knows how many other flavors of federal muscle.

Jeb should get her convicted of murder. Then all those pulling for her death would be stating this is cruel and unsual punishment.

I am not proud of the people I worked to elect. I am not proud that our founding fathers who sacrificed so much are probably spinning in their graves.

I've seen a lot that I don't approve of and I have tolerated as the price of plurality and I support a free and open marketplace of ideas.

what has happened to Terri has me wondering about the very soul of this nation.

I love what we could and should be. I am repulsed and my blood runs cold at the revelation of what we are.

Jeb has no chance.

His conceptual framework includes the notion that court orders are final.

That's a happy place for an electoral politician to be, it usually means they can denounce the courts, make the people think they are on their side, and do nothing in the end.

You know, I don't blame him all that much.

I don't blame Pius XII either, all that much-he had many things to take care of amid the chaos of Nazi Europe.

But I believe Pius XII passed on sainthood, and I think Jeb just passed on higher office.

So it goes.

Florida state officials have made an attempt to rescure her, but were turned back by the judge's private fuzz.

Apparently, and much to my surprise, the answer is yes, any judge in the land is more powerful than Congress.

Jeb won't do squat.

And this is why:

His office already said they have exhausted all legal avenues.

Do you folks not see the folly and hypocrisy of demanding that Jeb kidnap Terri Schiavo or otherwise take her into custody without any legal authority, when we all agree that what Janet Reno did to Elian Gonzales was so wrong? If you want anarchy and vigilanteism, just come right out and say so. Stop blaming the president or his brother for things that are beyond their jurisdication. This is not a dictatorship, but it sure sounds like some of you who claim to care about Terri want exactly that.

They are setting a very bad precedent with regards to the position of the executive in relation to the judiciary... VERY bad. Congress ain't doing any better, either, sad to say. And the rest of us are now hostage to an unelected set of oligarchs who rule for life.

This is exactly my point. The politicians are watching the polls. Don't forget, the way the polls were worded a majority of the people did not want Congress involved. As a Republican Conservitave, I feel this moral issue will divide the party more that any democrat party can. IMHO

This is a no brainer for Jeb, all he has to do is enforce he will of the Congress. President Bush could do the same. If they don't then we will know that they were just playing plots and the government will fall.Even Jesse Jackson and Lanny Davis are on board, the entire nation is screaming for action.

What have you done to initiate changes in the Right to Live laws? What? Tell me.

The right to life is recognized as a basic inalienable right in the Supreme Law of the Land. It needn't be changed. It need be enforced. And enforcement requires fortitude. I can't make my representatives have wisdom and fortitude. I can only vote for the ones who make me believe that they do have it.
