So what section 2 must mean is that due process is required before violating the rights of life and liberty, and Terri has gotten due process, at least according to the state of Florida.

B.S.

'Due process' refers to a trial for a charged criminal, not what Terri has gone through, sans any legal representation of her own.

No it doesn't--specifically when it concerns property. If the government is taking away a property right of mine, it is required to give me due process, and I'm certainly not a charged criminal. Due process definitely extends well beyond the world of criminal law.

"due process"

All court actions are based on "due process" - in other words did the lawyers use the right laws and was the right process followed in the court procedures.

Due process is for any COURT trial - and not just for criminals. Terri was not required to have legal representation because she WAS MARRIED and her husband was representing her.

Why can't you look up the correct information before misleading people with your erroneous statements about "due process".
