The SCOTUS just handed Jebbie a defeat in the Schiavo case. And while there are conflicting opinions regarding the whole issue of "Pulling the Plug", there is no doubt that Jeb was seeking nothing more than political "capital" when he signed "Terri's Law" in 2003. And while there are still a few legal challenges outstanding, the SCOTUS was considered Jeb's best hope for keeping the law on the books.
Some
snips from CNN.
"The Supreme Court refused Monday to reinstate a Florida law passed to keep a severely brain-damaged woman hooked to a feeding tube, clearing the way for it to be removed.
The Florida Supreme Court had struck down the law last fall, and the justices were the last hope for state leaders who defended the law in a bitter long running dispute over the fate of Terri Schiavo."
...
"The Supreme Court did not comment in rejecting an appeal from Gov. Jeb Bush, who argued that the state had the authority to step in and pass the 2003 law that ordered Terri Schiavo's feeding tube reinserted six days after her husband had it removed.
The case goes back to state Judge George Greer, who already has ruled that the brain-damaged woman's husband could withdraw her feeding tube."
