Wouldn't it take at least until next November to amend the FL Constitution? Would Greer or Demers let her live long enough to see if the voters would amend the Constitution?
There is no certainty that the FL voters would go along with this, but hopefully they would. Such an election could overshadow the presidential and senatorial races in FL next year. I asume that the "popular" Janet Reno would lead the opposition to the amendment.

And, Terri or no Terri, I really wish they would. If a feeding tube is already present, feeding should not be defined as medical treatment any more than Thanksgiving dinner is! Florida's law on the matter is a death trap.

Article XII of the Florida Constitution provides several ways to amend the state constitution. I don't think all of them require a popular vote (although I don't know whether it's possible to accomplish any of them before November of next year). Does the vote have to be in November? Or can an earlier special election be scheduled?
