all in an uproar because they "feel" that the law was wrong, and that the Judge should have based his findings on things other than the law

No, the Judge should have based his findings on the law (however much I may have problems with that law). But even the bad law requires "clear and convincing" evidence that she wanted to be killed, not flimsy and conveniently-recently-remembered evidence.

And now, we find ourselves comfortably cruising through that weird Clinton universe where polls mean more than laws.

Who's saying "polls mean more than laws"? Nice straw man. I think people are just saying "gee it's a relief if people really feel this way". Got a problem w/that?

I'm sorry, but you are wrong. [multiple times....]

Wow! Stellar argument.

The Florida State Constitution guarantees people the right to refuse medical treatment.

Food is not "medical treatment" and Terri Schiavo never "refused" anything.

Had it been God's will that she live, she'd be alive today.

Michael Schiavo is your god?

The judges who reviewed the case, and there were many, found the proof offered to be clear and convincing, and that Terri wished not to be maintained alive via artificial means, the fact that you don't find the evidence and testimony to be clear and evident proof is irrelevant; you weren't the sitting Judge.

Terri didn't want to "be killed", she did not want to be kept alive via artificial means, and wanted to be allowed to die.

"Food is not "medical treatment" and Terri Schiavo never "refused" anything"

According to Florida law it is, what part of that do you not understand?

"Michael Schiavo is your god?"

Another a$$hole comment from yet another nutjob.
