Are you insinuating Terri isn't a 'person'? I honestly confused by your statement.
Anyway, in the matter of due process..:
"No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, property or of any right granted him by statute, unless matter involved first shall have been adjudicated against him upon trial conducted according to established rules regulating judicial proceedings, and it forbids condemnation without a hearing,
Pettit v. Penn., La.App., 180 So.2d 66, 69."
Black's Law Dictionary, 6th Edition, page 500.
"Due Process of law implies the right of the person affected thereby to be present before the tribunal which pronounces judgement upon the question of life, liberty, or property, in its most comprehensive sense; to be heard, by testimony or otherwise, and to have the right of controverting, by proof, every material fact which bears on the question of right in the matter involved. If any question of fact or liability be conclusively presumed against him, this is not due process of law."
Black's Law Dictionary, 6th Edition, page 500.
THAT means a persons life CANNOT be forfeit unless;
1. They have been charged with a crime, and 2. They have been judged guilty by a JURY!
Anything else is ultra vires, or beyond the legal scope and power of government.
Again, this *judicial fiat* is contrary to the laws of our country as well as the oaths sworn by ALL public or elected officials to uphold the respective Constitutions and the principals for which they stand.
