NO elected official gives up their inalienable natural right to DEFEND life, nor can that right be taken or abridged by judicial fiat.
When you quote the Florida Constitution, you should remember to include Section 9:
SECTION 9. Due process.--No person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law, or be twice put in jeopardy for the same offense, or be compelled in any criminal matter to be a witness against oneself.
So according to Section 9, persons can be deprived of life, liberty or property if due process of law has been followed. Your "judicial fiat" is the Florida Constitution's "due process of law," which takes place in the courts.

if due process of law has been followed. Due process is a POSITIVE right, and only a consideration if the person has been criminally charged by the government.
The right to defend life is an absolute, NATURAL right, applying to all people at all times.
It's two different types of law.

Sorry. Due process of law is also defined by the legislature.

Oh, and I don't recall Terri being charged with any crime, do you?
