Please show me where I have EVER said this was a federal issue. I have always said the opposite.

And you were wrong, the 14th Amendment makes death sentences subject to judicial review at the federal level. Period.

I agree the feds have assumed that power under the 14th. However, I felt the Schiavo case should have been resolved within the state of Florida - and the laws in question in Flordia and other states still need to be addressed.
