The decision was made to uphold current law.

Any state law that directly contradicts the clear words of Article One, Section Two of the state constitution is unconstitutional on the face of it. So is any court ruling. The Executive has the duty to say so, and act accordingly.

How clearcut does Section Two have to be?

I often think that it is invisible to y'all, just like similiar provisions in the U.S. Constitution are to so many today.

As a Southerner with a proud heritage, don't dare talk to me about invisible provisions or powers that politicians in Washington invent on a whim

I expect the elected official to do specifically what is outlined for him to do and nothing else. Gov. Bush has no place to get involved. However, if Dr. Keyes wants to start a constitutional crisis in the state of Florida and get enough citizens riled up about it down there, that's his business. Actually it's not as he is not a citizen of that respective state. But hell, when has that ever stopped him?

You cannot pick and choose laws and regulations to INSERT into a case which has already been adjudicated, and then say it gives authority where none exists.

If this law was going to be used - it needed to be used in the very first trial - which was the suit Michael brought against the hospital regarding Terri's alleged misdiagnosis. Because it did not get INSERTED then - it's too late. Why people continue to beat this drum is beyond me.

If you don't like these laws - it's up to FL residents to get off their blessed assurance and get the laws changed. Jeb Bush does NOT WRITE LAWS. Blaming him is useless energy.
