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

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.

Well of course. The citizens cannot pass an unconstitutional law. C'mon.

Or are you saying they can?
