I'm not going to debate the merits of the Florida decision because I'm not an expert on Florida law or guardianship or anything else like that at all--but it's all beside the point, anyhow.

Florida has been litigating this case for the past several years. It's been to the Florida Supreme Court and everyone has had a bite at the apple to argue their particular side. Florida has made its ruling interpreting its law. You might not agree with Florida--I'm not so sure that I do--but it made its decision.

Now, just because Congress doesn't like that decision doesn't mean that it has the power to re-write Florida law--which it is trying to do here. Like it or not, there was due process here and Florida made its decision. I fail to see how (or why) Congress has the power to intervene here.

Well, whether or not you feel congress had a right, I'm sure Terri's family is very happy they did what they could. It is beyond me why anyone thinks starving Terri to death would be doing her a favor.
