Re:
"..If you don't like Florida law, then why don't you change it!..."

There's nothing wrong with Florida's laws.... when the legislative
and executive branches aren't changing it to suit the needs of the day.

Change? There may very well be change... the coming election.

No-one likes justice to be interfered with at whim and after-the-fact.

If Terri's condition is deemed to be totally irreversible by well
renowned physicians; if the original decision to remove life support
is found to have been a valid choice.... Politicians that are using
this family tragedy for self gain will suffer, along with the political
party representing them.

Florida law does not support guardians who have such a conflict of interest. If you think otherwise, lobby to have the law changed...

I assume Florida also has laws against insurance fraud, lawsuit fraud, and perjury...

Michael swore before the court that he needed the money he was suing for to take care of hias wife and that he would need it for her natural lifespan. His testimony before Judge Greer contradicted that. Judge Greer has access to the earlier statements, which he is obligated to consider.

None at all, except for that little section in the state constitution that guarantees Terri's rights. Or the contradictory section in the chapter on advanced directives that disallows euthanasia, but defines food and water as life support.

Politicians that are using this family tragedy for self gain will suffer, along with the political party representing them.

If any party politicized this, it was the democrat party. People of both major parties sided with Terri, while, with a minor exception, it was solely democrats who sided against her.

That's an interesting statement. Perhaps you don't agree with the law they passed, but it is precisely within the legislative branch's authority to legislate as they did.

Would you prefer to dissolve the legislature and let the judiciary legislate from the bench?
