Bushs play by their OWN rules.

Ok... I'm sort of tired with the Terri Schiavo story. Again I mention that I feel for her and her husband... I don't feel that much for her folks who've had time to make peace with their daughter's fate and instead have tried to force their will on her husband and her. Worse to re-coup their losses, they are SELLING the list of the people who have already helped them with court costs to direct mailers.

However I felt I HAD to blog about the above story and try to bring to at least two more peoples attention to the fact that Jeb Bush, in the footsteps of his younger brother, is trying to break the law for his OWN idea of right and wrong. It seems that most of the 'left wing media' has decided to NOT talk about this story, even though it could damage Jeb's reputation. This happened several days ago and I only read about it in passing on the editorial pages of the New York Times today. It got buried because the right doesn't want people to KNOW how little they actually care about the law.
Basically for better or worse, depending on your pov, the Florida State Justice department AND the Federal Justice system both sided with Terri's husband to allow him to pull the plug. Because Jeb Bush doesn't agree with the judges... many he probably put on the bench himself, Jeb decided that he could 'save' Terri by sending state troopers in to 'bring Terri in'. I would say it's pretty clear that Jeb knew what he was doing was illegal, but again he's learnt from baby bro that popularity polls trump laws.

Fortunately, the local police let the State Troopers know that they were going to stand by the law and unless the State Troopers had a Judge with them... the local police weren't going to let the troopers near the hospice where Terri is located.
