http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/terri-schiavo-case-back-public-eye-jeb-bush-prepares-presidential-bidAs Politico reminded us earlier this year, Jeb Bush was the single driving force behind the Terri Schiavo case becoming a full-blown national story:
The fight over (Terry Schiavos) death lasted almost a decade. It started as a private legal back-and-forth between her husband and her parents. Before it ended, it moved from circuit courts to district courts to state courts to federal courts, to the U.S. Supreme Court, from the state legislature in Tallahassee to Congress in Washington. The president got involved. So did the pope.
But it never would have become what it became if not for the dogged intervention of the governor of Florida at the time, the second son of the 41st president, the younger brother of the 43rd, the man who sits near the top of the extended early list of likely 2016 Republican presidential candidates. On sustained, concentrated display, seen in thousands of pages of court records and hundreds of emails he sent, was Jeb the converted Catholic, Jeb the pro-life conservative, Jeb the hands-on workaholic, Jeb the all-hours emailerconfident, competitive, powerful, obstinate Jeb. Longtime watchers of John Ellis Bush say what he did throughout the Terri Schiavo case demonstrates how he would operate in the Oval Office. They say its the Jebbest thing Jebs ever done.

I remember her doc telling me she had just decided to quit eating and she was slowly slipping into unconsciousness. I knew it was her conscious decision and I was terrified that the state of Texas would come in with a restraining order and have her forced to receive IV sustenance.
Fortunately, the hospital complied with my mother's decision and I could be with her as she slowly lost consciousness and could tell her I loved her and I was with her, even as her eyes were closed and she was drifting off. She died peacefully and gently with painkillers and I had closure at last.
Jeb Bush can rot in hell...
