Winging it on the judicial side can make things go all haywire, too.

My whole point is that the legislative branch has the power to make laws, not the judicial branch. If the people don't like one law they can pass another one. It's not as if this is an easy thing to do under normal circumstances. It's not as if this is going to happen every time somebody doesn't like a judge's ruling. (I wish it would happen more often, to rein in these activist judges who have consistently been usurping legislative power, that's for sure.) But this was a special case. The legislature, representing the people of the state of Florida, changed the law. They're allowed to do it. That's why they're called lawmakers. And like I said, there aren't too many instances where a legislative body would rush through legislation practically unanimously (I don't know what the vote count was, since I'm not following this case closely) within the space of a couple of days. As cumbersome and unwieldy and rancorous as politics and lawmaking are, in this two-party system, it guarantees such legislation would occur very rarely.

I would certainly hate to be the GAL, that's for sure. If hs says pull the tube, then I doubt the legislature will pass yet another law. Frankly, I wish God Himself would directly intervene and settle the question once and for all; either miraculously heal her or show definite signs of improvement that nobody at all could argue with, or take her quickly and naturally, without the intervention of mere mortals.
