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.)

BTW, I heard that someone was arrested trying to rob a gun store with the expressed intent of freeing Terri
Not trying to be glib, a friend said it was on CNN, but I don't have cable
