If a state violates your US constitutional rights, you have the right to challenge that law in court.

This was attempted, but the FL courts are unwilling to examine the merits and evidence on which George W. Greer based his findings. Therefore, there should be a national law to correct this time of states' rights abuse. People argue "states' rights" mostly when they want a case to come out a certain way, not based on a constitutional process. "States' rights" died in the New Deal if not sooner.

I'm not sure I have much to add to these threads anymore. Once I learned that the Florida Supreme Court held that there is a constitutional right to die, including pulling the feeding tube, the contest is over.

Terri is a goner. The lone hope is the US Congress, and they'll never act in time, even disregarding whether their action would be constitutional.
