The supreme court of Florida has no jurisdiction over federal laws, which trump the Florida consitution each and every time.

"The supreme court of Florida has no jurisdiction over federal laws, which trump the Florida constitution each and every time."

That's correct, but the bill passed in the senate allows the case to remain in the FL courts; the one the house passed moves it to the federal courts and out of FL. That is the reason nothing has happened. The votes are NOT there in the senate to move the case away from FL and Greer so it is not worth passing if they have to pass that version as it will do nothing for Terri.

This was passed on a voice vote without hearings in committees, etc. The Democrats are blocking the removal from the FL court without looking like they are doing anything but co-operating. Wyden, Reid, Levin, etc. have said if the house version is to be voted on, they want full hearings, etc. and Terri will be buried by the time it reaches the floor for a vote, let alone is signed by the president.
