Dr. Keyes' case is airtight...

You've got to be kidding. Please.

There can be no executive authority in the state of Florida higher than the governor. No state law can create an executive authority higher than highest in the Florida constitution. Therefore no court order based upon such a law can constitutionally create such an authority. If the governor tells the local police in Pinellas County to step aside, they must do so, or else be arrested and tried for an assault on the government of the state, which is to say insurrection.

By Keyes' "logic", it is entirely lawful for the governor of Florida to order the police into your home, string up a rope, and hang you on your own porch. Because by definition, any order he gives to the police is lawful because he's the "supreme executive authority".

If Keyes' argument was worth the effort, I'd explain why his legal analysis of the governor's authority is bogus. But its enough just to point out the less desireable results Keyes is endorsing with this ridiculous "supreme executive authority" argument.

Ridiculous assertion. That's not what Keyes says, and if you have fifth grade reading comprehension skills, you know it.

In other words, you don't have a counter to his clear and concise argument.

Can you explicitly explain to me why Article One, Section Two, does not apply to Terri Schiavo?

Because if she is a PERSON, it must.
