U.S. Constitution - Amendment 5 - Trial and Punishment, Compensation for Takings:
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

U.S. Constitution - Amendment 14 - Citizenship Rights:
1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
...
5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Oh, my goodness! You are supporting our assertion that Terri’s murder was unconstitutional.

You are not supporting your support for Barack Obama’s lie that the govt’s attempt to protect the life of an innocent American citizen was a violation of the US Constitution.

You’re not exhibiting strong moral character or strong reading comprehension skills.

You certainly have no understanding of Consitutional Law, either.

No wonder you have fallen under Obama’s hypnosis.

Congratulations. After a couple of posts, you still have failed to back up your original assertion. Since reading comprehension seems to escape you, let me ask again. Do you care to point out precisely where in the Constitution it says that a husband has the right to starve his wife to death? Can you please tell us where in the Constitution it says that in controversies involving life and death decisions, we should error to the side of death? Can you please tell us where in the Constitution it says what the IQ level of a person is before they loose their human rights?

You pointed out a couple of lines in the Constitution about due process and appropriate legislation.

That does not answer my questions, it only raises new ones. Didn’t Terri have a right to a trial by a jury of her peers? Didn’t Terri have protection against cruel and unusual punishment? What crime did Terri commit that warranted the death penalty?

You are on the right track with the Fifth Amendment, but you miss this essential passage:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury,

This means that before Terri could be deprived of her life, there first needed to be a grand jury indictment. Obviously, since Terri committed no crime, there was no indictment.
