WELL THAT WAS THE FLORIDA CONSTITUTION NOT THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION!!!!!!!!!
What politician knows or cares about the Constitution. No Dems do. No RINOs. Only
1. The issue in state court, based on state law, was whether Terri Schiavo had evidenced an ntendtion not to continue life support. (ie, a medical directive many of us have)
2. The dumb judge had no evidence of that intent other thsn her husband and that was not enough,
3. That error does not grant her a right to go to federal court or for the gov't to pass a special law just for her (and not others similarly situated) to have access to federal courts.
4. The fact of the matter here is that the lorida courts got it wrong but that is how the system works in a reoublic of sovereign states.
