LAT/AP: Jeb Bush Renews Call to Help Schiavo

Jeb Bush Renews Call to Help Schiavo
By MARK LONG, Associated Press Writer

PINELLAS PARK, Fla. — Their options dwindling after two failed federal court appeals, Terri Schiavo's parents and brother vowed Wednesday to take their fight to the U.S. Supreme Court and state Legislature as the brain-damaged woman was in her fifth day without a feeding tube.

Gov. Jeb Bush renewed his call for the Legislature to step in and "spare Terri's life."...

***

The Legislature had stepped in before, in 2003, and her feeding tube was reinserted after six days at that time. But "Terri's Law" was later struck down as unconstitutional by the state Supreme Court.

More recently, Florida lawmakers had failed to pass new legislation that could have prevented the removal of the tube. They may consider another bill Wednesday, and state Sen. Daniel Webster, the bill's sponsor, said it would be the measure's last chance.

"Today is it," said Webster, a Republican, who said Wednesday he still isn't certain he has enough votes to push the measure through. "But I'm going to try."...

1. A Governor who doesn't support his State's Rights?

pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander,
pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander, pander.

Screw the courts, screw the judges, screw Michael Schiavo, screw ethics, screw everything. The ONLY thing that matters to these sociopathic GOP politicos are votes.

7. posted this in another thread but

worth looking at since Jeb seems to be ignoring his own expert consultant. http://www.davidcorn.com/2005/03/jeb_bushs_exper.php

8. Jeb has never found a law that applied to him.

He ignores constitutional ammendments, and ballot initiatives. Why would the courts constrain him?
