Bush did everything he could within the law. The fault lies with the Florida legislature - and particularly with the GOP speaker, Jim King from JAX, who is very pro-death and pro-liberal and led the fight AGAINST Bush's legislative rescue of Terri.
If you want to attack anybody, attack them and go and try to make sure they don't get elected again (if you live in Florida).
GEE, someone in the legislature resists doing the right thing.... guess Jebby had no choice but to acquiesce..
I'm sorry, no amount of excuse making can salvage Jeb's moral cowardice here...
Within the LAW, he could have used the authority of his office as the executive of the state to defy the court and stand in the way of the executioners. He did not. Wus.
Right - Bush is not elected to over-ride the laws of the State of Florida, but to uphold them. The lawmakers are at fault because they got these laws on the book without anyone realizing it could so easily be abused.
But, it must be "in" to start every thread with "let's hate Jeb".
And, it shows where they stand as conservatives. They don't bother to go after the real abusers - just go after the one they could not make exceed his authority for "show".
Wonder if any of them have done anything about contacting the lawmakers to get those laws changed? I would expect not - the real goal is to ruin Jeb Bush for future political office.
When a law decrees that it's okay to murder a human being, that is no law. Jeb had a moral obligation to do the right thing and he hid. There were, however, children being handcuffed and hauled away for trying to bring water to Terri. No, Jeb has NO excuse.
