All three of my examples had to have Federal intervention because of the actions of the State of Florida government. If Florida would've released Gonzalez to his father after the courts stated he had custody of his child, the Feds would've never gotten involved.
If Florida would've abided by the courts ruling that Terri Sciavo's husband had the right to remove her feeding tube, the case would've never made it to the Supreme Court.
If Florida would've done away with the antequated voting cards, and would've learned how to read the one's that were used, the Feds wouldn't have had to come in and show them how to do it.
Case #1 ....The relatives appealled in Federal court...so until a federl court decision was handed down the florida officials could NOT hand the child over as once the appeal was filed and accepted they lost jurisdiction.....
Case #2 See reference to point 1. This was a federal appeal decision....same explanation as above.
In both of these cases obviously there was legal formalities or decisions in question, thus no action could be taken until the federal courts made their decision. Had there not been any legal questions surrounding the situations the federal/supreme courts would never had seen the case and rejected it promptly.
Case #3.....Many states have problems counting ballots, it matters not if it is paper or electronic. The last election NEW Mexico took months to get an accurate count of the balloting for president. You didn't hear about it because it didn't matter...Does this make the governor inept in this state also?
What about Minnesota and their balloting? They just recently decided on their senator.........
You call administrations inept, yet they are following the law...once those cases were appealed, all things stop until the appeal is turned down or viewed by a higher court.....So had Jeb went in and done what you said, HE WOULD BE IN VIOLATION of law.
And Jeb Bush left the governors office with a 65% approval rating to be exact......obviously he did a good job.....Or are you going to say 65% of Florida is ultra right-wing conservatives now?
