I think the ACLU is oversimplifying the issues here. Jeb Bush did not overturn a judicial decision becsuse her disagreed with the outcome, he intervened to protect a class of citizens who stand to be put to death by unscrupulous guardians under the premise that the "right to die" must be protected over the "right to life" when there is no living will and the family members are not in agreement.
The ACLU has a weak case if this is the best they can put forth. The right to life, as outlined in the Declaration of Independence, trumps Michael and Felo's misguided "right to kill" garbage - and it's not lost on me that he was instrumental in getting that "right to die" stuff codified.
