It troubles me that there is little attention by those concerned with Terri’s fate paid to the legal process in Terri’s case and how Terri’s constitutional guarantees have been virtually ignored in the discussion.

It is also quite troubling that little attention has been paid to the written opinion of Judge Baird, in striking down Terri‘s Law as being unconstitutional, which, when analyzed, as I have done in my post #88, is not based upon our system of law, but rather, his personal opinions.

Fact is, Judge Baird in his opinion has accused Governor Bush of the very thing he is guilty of…substituting his personal judgment for that of Terri’s when in fact Governor Bush has done nothing more than call for a jury to evaluate the testimony alleging Terri wants to die as our constitution provides for!

Hopefully others will study my post #88, and perhaps focus some of their attention on the process by which her husband, Felos and Florida’s judges are attempting to put her to death, and how that process ignores and abridges Terri's constitutional guarantees.

Thank you for your kind words.

It's *very* obvious that his is not a reasoned opinion based on the law, but rather, a personal opinion based on a liberal agenda.

I find it anger provoking that this fabricated "right to privacy" (I do realize that it's in the FL State Constitution), is taking precedence over due process, and a host of other Federal and State Constitutional rights. These corrupt judges have recourse to the craziest invented precedents, which they use to prevent even the Governor's privilege of venue!

If the "right to privacy" existed years ago, the Dred Scott case would have never been overturned, if this "right's" *supremacy* had been upheld, as it is today. Any other claim of any other right must take a back seat to privacy, and any legal argument to the contrary just never suffices. The libs see to that.

The liberal courts are hijacking this country. We've recently seen the MA Supreme Court establish the "constitutional right" of gays to marry. I think that Jeb Bush must make a stand, or else the States will fall, one by one, issue by issue, into a totalitarianism ruled by an elite composed of liberal judges.

If Jeb doesn't step up to the plate, here and now, concerning Terri, who, and in which state, and regarding which issue, will?

Thank you for your kind words.

You're very welcome. :o)
