Jeb Bush has one last clear shot to act and save this woman's life. So does the President.

If they don't, they will have reduced themselves as leaders.

The Senate has one chance to fix the more general problem by invoking the so-called "Nuclear Option" and installing strict constructionist judges. But they too are wavering.

If they don't, the Republican party will split. The pro-life Christians will have been definitively betrayed and, demoralized, they will sit out the next election, or vote for a new "Pro-life party" or the like.

I hope the Republican leadership realizes that they are standing on a precipice. But I get the feeling they believe this Life issue can be finessed.

It can't be. The Republicans have the power. The Christians know it. It's the only issue the pro-life Christians really care about, or have cared about for a long time.

If the Republicans don't stand up and do the right thing, electoral disaster awaits.

It's already split away; take a look at the polls; the vast majority of conservatives in the GOP do NOT approve of what Congress did.

And people who sit out get what they deserve, nothing.

The judges acted in strict accordance to the law - they followed Flrida law. This is in fact NOT a case of judicial activisim.

If you knew me, you'd realize I normally make every effort to reply to people respectfully, and to engage in reasoned discussion. However, there are exceptions.

You, sir or madam, are an idiot.

"Jeb Bush has one last clear shot to act and save this woman's life. So does the President."

Mark Levine just said this on Hannity. I have no idea what Gov. Bush is doing.

President Bush is too busy giving our country away to his pal Vincente to bother with this case.

Hillary has a chance then?
