Welcome to FR. What about the supremacy clause? What if the state actions are violating her civil rights - cruel and unusual punishment, equal protection etc. Why is it constitutional to require federal review for capital punishment cases but not for this case?
Please don't make the mistake in assuming I agree with what's happening to her. I think she should live, be divorced, and stay with her parents. What I don't agree with is the "circus" this has turned into. My problems surpass her case, and fall directly on the government. I don't agree with the actions of the government, because I don't recognize their authority in this situation.
