What a foolish statment. It is the US CONSTITUTION that requires due process. IT IS A FEDERAL ISSUE. Terri's life was suppose to be protected by the FEDERAL CONSTIUTION. That you and your friends in the pr-death movement were able to see that she wasn't given a review of her due process is no reason to be angry. I would think your side would be elated.
For criminal cases. This wansn't one.
. IT IS A FEDERAL ISSUE.
It was a state issue under state laws concerning incapacitated persons. It couldn't even be reviewed by the federal courts until Congress gave them a special one-time jurisdiction.
Terri's life was suppose to be protected by the FEDERAL CONSTIUTION.
Terri was supposed to be protected under state law. The legislators in florida refused to modify state law in order to save her.
That you and your friends in the pr-death movement were able to see that she wasn't given a review of her due process is no reason to be angry.
This case went all the way through the Florida court system several times. It was given a quite unprecedented level of review even before it hit the federal courts.
I would think your side would be elated.
My side was on keeping her from dehydrating. My side was also on not destroying our republic to do it.
