[Servant of the 9]

At some point, someone, somewhere, has to step in and stand against monsterous evil. If the laws of the state of Florida fail to enable a state stand against it, let the feds take it on, and to hell with "states rights."

The laws of every state say this, and recent polls say 85% of Americans want the decision to be with the spouse.

If congress manages to change the law against the way 85% of the people like it, they won't be there long.
I don't think they will really try. Once they have gotten their publicity and Terri Schiavo is dead, the whole silly law will be dropped.

You can't turn American Jurisprudence on it's head for all Americans because one case might be wrong.
Would you want to do away with the death penalty if it was found that one person had been wrongly executed?

You've convinced me... I'm going to stop asking for God's mercy upon this nation, and ask for His judgment.

I wonder how many FReepers here demanding Federal action (marshals, subpoenas, contempt, etc) were a few months ago demanding the federal courts NOT involve themselves with the Alabama 10 commandments judge?

Frankly, I would. If our judicial system makes such heinous mistakes, we shouldn't be allowing it to make life and death decisions.
