Going back to the original thread here, Jeb Bush did swear an oath to God to uphold those laws.
George W. Bush swore an oath to God to uphold the U.S. Constitution, the tenth Amendment to which states:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
Both Jeb and George are men of strong faith. I am certain that this must put them in a quandry. What do they do? Which oath do they keep?

A law that allows an innocent to be slain is not a law, but an abomination. It has long been understood that a law passed that tramples upon the rights and privileges of a citizen isn't law. What the argument here is that Terri has no Constitutional rights, as stated by one of the doctors (Cransford, I believe his name is) that Greer chose as one of his experts.
Due process got no more than a passing wave in this case. Greer made many errors of fact in this case. His fellow judges never called him on it, and upheld his flawed rulings. Their rational is that his flawed reasonings were unreviewable as a matter of law. Technically, they are correct. So were the British appointed judges in the 1700s. So the legal system just made mockery of the Constitution.

(Our legal system is in a PVS. Time to remove it from the public feeding trough.)
