Amendment 5, as you correctly state, relates to a person accused of a crime.

Then what does THIS mean?:

nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

In our system of Federalism, private domestic matters are the jurisdiction of the states, not the federal government.

What about the Federal Laws for Civil Rights on the Basis of Disability or the Americans with Disabilities Act?

Under theFlorida Constitution:

All natural persons, female and male alike, are equal before the law and have inalienable rights, among which are the right to enjoy and defend life and liberty, to pursue happiness, . . . No person shall be deprived of any right because of race, religion, national origin, or physical disability.

And legislatures can't override final, binding court decisions just because they don't like the results.

But, under the Florida Constitution, the governor can:

The governor may initiate judicial proceedings in the name of the state against any executive or administrative state, county or municipal officer to enforce compliance with any duty or restrain any unauthorized act.

Your assertion that Obama 'lied' is meaningless - he expressed his opinion and I agreed with him, that doesn't make us liars.

You've proven yourself to be a liberaltarian anarchist, it's not surprising that you will agree with liberals far more than you will with conservatives.

What it comes down to is you believe Terri was deprived of her life without due process, and thus you believe that Congress and/or the Florida governor could have intervened.

I believe there was due process and precedent is on my side...not to mention the U.S. Supreme Court and the Florida Supreme Court.

Your argument is technically conceivable, but amounts to a 'Hail-Mary' in terms of plausibility. It's so unlikely that it attracts mostly 'true-believers' in the same way that conspiracy theories do. Your argument was tried in many courts and legislatures in the Schiavo case, and it lost. You're swimming upstream trying to convince me you are wiser than all of the individuals and entities who rejected it.
