In the courts since 1990.
Feeding tube removed 4 times.
Judge Andrew Napolitano (Fox News) says that the Florida legislature, and Governor Bush have no Right to do what they did.
The Florida Supreme Court will render the Legislature's action Un-Constitutional.

So be it.

Judge Andrew Napolitano (Fox News) says that the Florida legislature, and Governor Bush have no Right to do what they did.

Why did they not have the right to change the applicable law prospectively? If this law is unconstitutional for some reason, what constitutional provision did it violate?

Some of the legislators who voted for the law said as much.

However, what this did was buy Terri time--until the law is declared unconstitutional and there's another court order to remove the tube, Terri is covered by this law and her feeding tube stays in.

Not only do they have a right, they have a duty to preserve and defend the life of their citizens from reckless Judges, bad laws and scumbag husbands.

The Florida Supreme Court will render the Legislature's action Un-Constitutional.

The Florida Constitution demands the state protect the rights of the disabled. I might add that the rights of Terri Schiavo have been trampled by her husband and the courts. I don't think the Florida legislature can back down now or they will look like they simply did some political grandstanding. The kangaroos on the FSC do not make laws no matter what Judge NApolitano says or thinks.

Well, the judge is wrong on the first two items, so forgive me if I'm less than confident about his opinions on the latter two.

Besides, I saw him on the Big Story about a week ago, and he was CLUELESS about the case.

The judge is full of himself.
