Jeb must act NOW, and he can, says Keyes
Governor has 'supreme executive power'

March 25, 2005
RenewAmerica staff

Thursday, Alan Keyes appeared on MSNBC's Scarborough Country with Joe Scarborough, and on Joseph Farah's national radio show, and declared that Gov. Jeb Bush not only possesses the "supreme executive authority in the state," but must act now to save Terri Schiavo.

When asked if Gov. Bush has done enough to help the disabled woman, Keyes said, "Of course not. He hasn't done anything. She is being starved to death!"

Keyes made it clear on both programs that Gov. Bush needs no permission from the courts to fulfill his statutory and constitutional duty to act in Terri's behalf, since the executive is equal to the judiciary.

Five Briefs Say Gov. Bush Has the Legal Authority to Save Terri Schiavo

To: National Desk

Contact: Gary McCullough, 202-546-0054

Media Advisory, March 24 /Christian Wire Service/ Posted on the internet are five legal briefs that explain to Governor Jeb Bush that he has the legal authority to save Terri Schiavo.

In an effort to save Florida citizen, Terri Schindler-Schiavo from a court ordered death by starvation, the Society for Truth and Justice requested and delivered the following legal memorandums to Governor Jeb Bush in October of 2003:

Is this how it's going to come down? Is Jeb Bush going to be the scapegoat? Is he going to be the one who killed Terri? I hope and pray that he will take action, but from what I've heard him say, he has run the legal gamut and I have no reason not to believe him. Nothing I'd like better than to see state police, marshals or whatever, storm the hospice and take custody, but if it doesn't happen, is it really Jeb's fault? Somebody help me here. I'm sitting here, arm-chair quarterbacking so to speak about "well, if it was me, I'd do so and so if I were Jeb Bush". It's easy to do that.

God bless you for your efforts to stop this barbaric madness taking place in a country that once held sacred the ideal of "....life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness....". God have mercy on us.

Jeb is no longer "my own", or "your own", and he is on "his own". He is just a coward who is afraid to use the power vested in his office by the Florida constitution.

[Brilliant]

I guarantee you that right now, Bush's cadre of dozens of conservative lawyers are telling him that he's done everything he can. I, being a conservative lawyer myself, agree. The problem is not that Bush has not exhausted his powers. The problem is that the courts have abused their powers.

Well said. The bomb throwing has gotten out of hand. So many sound very much like the rabid left they hate. Time for so some to step back, turn off the computer, take a deep breath and kick back for a while.

[nuconvert]

There's a lot of corruption surrounding this case.
Why couldn't investigation of improprieties of judge Greer and Felos and dr's involved (such as the dr's who admitted her to the hospice in 2000 saying that her condition would kill her in 6 months), have caused a delay in Greer's court orders being carried out?

[Carry_Okie]

KEYES: And of course, when the judges are judging a case, if a law seems to them to conflict with the Constitution, they have go with the Constitution. But if a governor is faced with a judicial decision, and he conscientiously concludes that that judicial decision conflicts with the Constitution and his constitutional duties, he can't obey it!

I can just see this kind of executive latitude in the hands of Hillary. There is good reason for the governor's reticence. Habitually, such a custom would be a real problem.

In the case of Terri Schiavo, there would be no harm done in taking her into custody and forcing the de novo review, which may be sufficient distinction.

[Gumdrop]

Thank you for defending Jeb Bush. It is ridiculous for people who support Terri to become as cannibals devouring their allies instead of chastising the paganous belief system that has taken over our courts.

[Dawgreg]

I agree Ben. Makes me think (and I don't WANT to think this), is it indeed politics? I firmly believe Tom DeLay and the Congress did a brave thing as well as Jeb, but do they let a little twerp like George Greer and the court system run em' off like that? Does ANYONE in this government have the guts to stand up and do what's right and not falter? Is there anyone in this government that will stand up and say Terri WILL live and if it means my political career, my freedom or whatever, I will fight to the death to see that happen? People are so misinformed about this case as far as the polls go. They are under the illusion that this is a private matter between families and shouldn't be encroached upon but it's much more than that. It's a good vs evil in my humble opinion........pro-life against pro-death and a more than suspect "husband" wanting this poor woman dead! Dead at all costs! Is he a sociopath that revels in the Shindler's grief? Is he responsible for her condition? What would be the harm to conduct these tests that so many professionals deem would help her? Am I all wet here? So many questions unanswered. God have mercy on our country and on Terri.

[Brilliant]

I don't think it's petty corruption. I think it fits a general pattern of abuse of power by the court system.

They are determined that they will supplant both the executive branch and the legislative branch.

At some point, the executive branch and legislative branch are going to have to stand up to the courts, but this was not the case. In order to slap the courts down, they are going to have to find a case in which the judge's decision is not supported by a majority of the voters. When you've got more than 60% of the people agreeing with the judge, the executive and legilative branches will simply be voted out by the voters if they try to make it an issue, and the courts will win in the end anyway.

Alan Keyes appeared on Joseph Farah's national radio show ...

Our local conservative talk radio station recently replaced the Black Avenger with Joseph Farah's show. IMHO, Farah is so annoying that I'd rather listen to rap.

[Dawgreg]

Thanks Gumdrop. I totally agree.

[veronica]

Jeb and GWB did everything they could. It's sad to see them being attacked now by the side interested in keeping Terri alive.
