"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?

I am saying there was nothing unconstitutional about Terri's Law, and the judges had no business in declaring it so. They simply did not like it as it did not agree with there own concept of who should be allowed to be killed in the state of Florida and who should not be allowed to be killed. They simply took over the job of the Legislature. It is called Judicial activism in case you did not know.

The "end of life laws" in Fl. were predicated on 3 events.

1. The Cruzan case.

2. The Browning case.

3. The Florida Constitutional privacy right.
