Hmmmm. How about, "If that's the decision of the citizens of that state, found to be constitutional by the state supreme court, then that's fine by me.

Better?

Only problem is that you got it backwards. The citizens of Florida decided via the Florida Congress to not allow Terri to be killed by enacting Terri's Law. The judges decided that the citizens were wrong and found the citizens decision unconstitutional. So when you say the citizens decide you are not accurate - the judges decided that the citizens could not decide.

Hmmmm... So slavery was OK, right? Heck, it even passed review by the Supreme Court of the United States via the Dred Scott decision.

If FreeRepublic had been around in 1857 I can see you arguing that it is OK for slaveowners to dehydrate or starve their slaves because the Supreme Court had ruled that they were just property.
