Please, take the time to explain to me how those details are in any way linked to his ability to circumvent an ongoing court case?

What do his comments about the judges AFTER THE FACT, or the attendance of Janet Reno and he at the same dinner have to do with his ability to act at the time? President Bush has been seen with Bill Clinton smiling, in pictures. Ronald Reagan was seen in many pictures smiling and laughing with Jimmy Carter.

Your arguments are disjointed and nonsensical.

What the heck did you people want him to do that he actually had the legal authority and power to make happen? Remember for a moment that the state legislature passed a law to protect her, the governor signed it, Crist offered an opinion of constitutionality, and that was NOT ENOUGH. Legislative and executive action were NOT ENOUGH. People with more authority and power than he could do NOTHING. It was a pending case and the judiciary maintained exclusive jurisdiction.

Why, please tell me, is it unreasonable for a state AG to take the position that a case pending before the courts is out of his jurisdiction, and that the right thing to do is to let the system play itself out? Doing anything else would have been to ursuro his own authority, probably that of the governor as well, and he would have been slapped down in the process making the case a further political spectacle, and accomplishing nothing on behalf of Teri.

You people want a scapegoat. You are angry, you are hurt, you are looking for revenge. Fine - all normal emotional reactions to loss. But you seem to have forgotten - she had a husband who made the decision - his name is Michael. That is where this fight began and it is where responsibility for her death ends.

Hardly. Pointing blame on voters is merely you defending the indefensible and have nothing to stand on.

Gee, why didn't he speak up against corruption? Sad - it seems in Florida - everyones hands and mouths were tied. YET HE PRAISED THEM - so his 'not enough' was merely lip service - as we ALL KNOW.

Oh please. Talk about groveling and pointing blame in the wrong direction. Seems like you are the angry one because it's 'accountability' time. Besides God says vengence is mine. So that's taken care of.

Yes, it's merely election and accountability time. Can't see why Crist would have a problem with that? You pointed out how powerless he was. And his praising judges and hailing them as heros seems business as usual.

If the good people of Florida want to hold him up to the light and decide they to elect someone who does have power - I say they are doing a good thing for all. After all, that lip service act is SO OLD and the Floridians are too wise.

Each person is responsible for their own actions. Crist was not the only person who did the wrong thing, but mob mentality does not excuse his actions.
