"The Florida legislature is in session. They can pass a bill that isn't so blatantly unconstitutional next week to save Terri's life. Leave D.C. out of it."

They know it's blatantly unconstitutional and so do we. If they refuse to act on their mistake - then where does one go to have it corrected when they will NOT do the right thing?

This is not a smart a$$ question.

If the Florida legislature doesn't fix the law next week, then Terri probably dies.

It's a simple as that.

The hope that the US Congress could do something (which I think I've made abundantly clear that they shouldn't) within a week is really a stretch. I don't remember anything but a resolution passing that fast. Actual legislation? I don't think it's possible.

The filing of this bill was meant to gain local PR for the Florida legislators who filed it. Sorry to sound crass, but I don't think they were really serious. They want to look good.

The Florida courts are fed up with this case. They have basically said so. They're not going to entertain more legal motions that they consider stalling tactics. The governor has no power to intervene.

It's up to the legislature. Terri's fate is in their hands.
