Clicking on the Source link will take you to the PDF file hosted on MichaelSavage.Com which is the Thomas More Law center's Response to Jeb Bush's request for their legal opinion on the Schiavo case, dated 10/15/2003.
Read it for yourself and be appalled at Gov Bush's inaction for over 2 years. He knew over 2 years ago that DCFS had the power to take custody of Terri.
He knew that there was a strong posibility that abuse and neglect was taking place over 2 years ago.
From page two, typed by me:
"In the final analysis, the fact of this case clearly establish probable cause to conduct a full criminal investigation of the circumstances surrounding the disability of Ms. Schiavo. To date, the facts of the case have not been viewed through the lens of a criminal investigation."
"Ms. Schiavo's life is at stake. Therefore you should take immediate custody of Ms. Schiavo... direct the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to conduct of full investigation of the facts and circumstances of this case, to include secuyring search warrants and interviewing witnesses, including medical experts, and take measures to prevent future harm to Ms. Schiavo pending the outcome of the investigation. "
It's the Thomas More Law Center!
I agree. If he had this info for two years and just sat on it then he's not worthy of being governor. Go find another job.

I agree. I love his heat.
If Terri dies during Jeb Bush's watch, what are his chances of ever being nominated for President?
Thomas More (sic) Law Center is far far far away from the state of Florida. I've never been too impressed with their lawyering.
Regardless of what side you're on in this debate, this is an asinine accusation.
If we accept the court as the final authority, then our country is doomed, judging by your comment, you seem content with that. May God have mercy upon us all, for we surely need it.
Zip, zero, nada, none.

Glad you pasted it, it's gone now. :-)
Looks like you're right.
On another thread, somebody else said Bush was too weak to protect us. Go figure.
"In the event you employ this procedure, the Department must petition a court for an order authorizing emergency protective services within 24 hours after arranging for the emergency removal of Ms. Schiavo See Fla. Stat. 412.1051 (2)(b)"
the whole point would be to get terri OUT of greer's court
That's good....I just assumed he had to go through channels and that probably meant Greer's court
Thanks
He is hated by many on this site, many might attack you for stating a favorable opinion so beware. I dig Dr. Savage....
24 hours after they act, thay have to inform the court, and then go through due process to determine what happens next.
The statute says they have to petition the court within (IIRC) 48 hours afterwards. So far, so good. Unfortunately, Greer saw this coming, and beat them to the punch by issuing a restraining order, first. Now, it's complicated -- and which branch decides on complicated issues?
Bugger the Florida Supreme Court!
Do you always bite the hand that feeds you? What about a little anger for the judges who have done this to Terri?
