MURDER, POLITICS, AND THE END OF THE JAZZ AGE
by Michael Wolraich
Jeb is not going to have an easy time running for President in Florida. The Tampa Times is already reminding people about what he did as Governor. It has been a long time since he was in office here.
A governor who was known for his my-way-or-the-highway approach — and who rarely was challenged by fellow Republicans controlling the legislative branch — stormed to the brink of a constitutional crisis in order to overrule the judicial branch for which he often showed contempt. Bush used his administration to battle in court after court, in Congress, in his brother's White House, and, even after Schiavo's death, to press a state attorney for an investigation into her husband, Michael Schiavo.
While many Republicans espouse a limited role for government in personal lives, Bush, now a leading contender for president in 2016, went all in on Schiavo.
It is a good read into the drama and the moves that were made to keep Terri alive. The sad part was the family could not let go of what was left of her. John Ellis Bush should of stayed out of it because it can come back to bite him.
