Do We Get To Use The F-Word Yet?

Bill Bennett (and Brian T. Kennedy) in National Review, this morning:

It is a mistake to believe that the courts have the ultimate say as to what a constitution means. Every governor is bound by oath to uphold and protect his state constitution. In the case of Florida, the constitution Mr. Bush pledged to defend declares that, "All natural persons, female and male alike, are equal before the law and have inalienable rights, among which are the right to enjoy and defend life and liberty..." If the governor believes that he and the Florida legislature possess the constitutional authority and duty to save Terri's life, then he is bound by his oath of office to do so...

It is time, therefore, for Governor Bush to execute the law and protect her rights, and, in turn, he should take responsibility for his actions. Using the state police powers, Governor Bush can order the feeding tube reinserted [emphasis mine].

Bennett and co-author are arguing for a putsch. There's no other way to describe it.

Earlier today, when I heard that the Supreme Court had correctly declined to prolong this spectacle any further, I held out hope that it might finally be over. So much for that. If a slick tv-personality like Bennett is prepared to urge a violent overthrow of the judicial branch of government, is there any doubt that there are extant cadres of silvershirts just waiting for any excuse to "save" Terri Schiavo? I doubt that this will end peacefully.
