Ann Coulter To Gov: Do Your Duty

"President Andrew Jackson is supposed to have said of a Supreme Court ruling he opposed: "Well, John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it." The court's ruling was ignored. And yet, somehow, the republic survived.

If Gov. Jeb Bush doesn't say something similar to the Florida courts that have ordered Terri Schiavo to die, he'll be the second Republican governor disgraced by the illiterate ramblings of a state judiciary. Gov. Mitt Romney will never recover from his acquiescence to the Massachusetts Supreme Court's miraculous discovery of a right to gay marriage. Neither will Gov. Bush if he doesn't stop the torture and murder of Terri Schiavo."

In Ann's column today, she agrees with my point below -- the use of national guard troops by President Eisenhower is a sound historical and political precedent for Gov. Bush to intervene and: (1) take Terri into protective custody pending a full state investigation; or (2) carry out an administrative order for the reinsertion of Terri Schiavo's feeding tube; or (3) both.

It's hard to argue with this logic. When will Gov. Bush adopt it? Time is running out . . .
