It is the proper business of the Florida legislature, or the legslature of any state, to write laws concerning the health and welfare of their citizens. There is no question that Florida can pass this law if it chooses, and that the Governor can act under the law, as soon as it is passed and he signs it into law.

There is no conflict between the Florida court that ordered the feeding tube removed (and the US District Court which decided it had no jurisdiction to act in this state matter), and the Florida legislature. The Florida court acted on the basis of the law as it existed when it made its decision. Being bound to obey the law of its own jurisdiction, the Florida court would and should reverse its prior decision when acting under the new law. As for the US Court, I believe it was correct to rule that this was a state issue, not a federal issue.

Hope that's helpful.

Okee Dokee, one more for you.

What IF the court refuses to reverse itself under the new law? Because the decisions were made under old law is Greer's decision still valid? Help me here, lol.
