Putsch Interruptus

Via Kevin Drum:

Hours after a judge ordered that Terri Schiavo wasn't to be removed from her hospice, a team of Florida law enforcement agents were en route to seize her and have her feeding tube reinserted — but they stopped short when local police told them they would enforce the judge's order, The Miami Herald has learned.

If not for some courageous local cops, the forcible nullification of judicial authority would already be underway. Jeb Bush should be impeached.

Let me also say, while I understand the point Kingspawn is making here, the cops who stood up to Bush's thugs deserve better. Very few of us will ever get to say something like this:

We told them that unless they had the judge with them when they came, they were not going to get in.
