Rush is a hypocrite...

Last week, Rush was going on and on about how the judges are not the final arbiter of their own jurisdiction. He told us over and over that our system of checks and balances certainly includes checks against runaway judges.

However, today Rush relayed with great sadness and regret that there just is nothing within the law that Governor Bush can do about Judge Greer's order to remove Terri Schiavo's feeding tube.

Rush told us that even though Jeb controls the police departments, he is bound by civil law to direct the police officers under his command to carry out the judicial edicts handed down.

Rush went on to say that even though court orders aren't technically law, they must be obeyed by the other 2 branches of government.

Rush disagreed with the premise that the American colonists were left with no choice but to break English law at such times as the Boston Tea Party or the battles of Lexington and Concord, and that in today's America there are options available to the People within the confines of the law. Unfortunately I missed the part when he explained what they are.

Not surprisingly I disagree. If Jeb Bush honestly believed that God's law is Supreme, and that civil law is only valid insofar as it coincides with God's law, he would stand up to the court order and refuse to order his subordinates to carry it out. Further, he could refuse any order or request for a State prosecution of anybody who trespassed into the hospice and violated Judge Greer's court order by giving Mrs. Schiavo food and/or water.

Any chance somebody reached out to Rush over the weekend to tell him that the GOP may need Jeb to run for President and that he is not to be tarnished in this manner by the official GOP spokesmouth himself?
