First of all, the Order does not "order" AG Crist to get involved. It only states that the constitutionality of the Florida statutes has been called into question by this new pleading, and that the state "will be permitted to intervene in this proceeding..."
This is something that the judge has to do, a formality, if you will.
He has to notify the Attorney General's office, but the AG is not required to do ANYTHING.
Remember that issues of constitutionality are ultimately decided by federal courts, not by Florida's attorney general, and the final arbiter is the U.S. Supreme Court.
Have you considered the possibility that he might do NOTHING, and wait to see what the judge does?
When you speak of the "function AG Crist will/must play to defend the dastardly statutes enacted by the Death 'r Us state" , are you not assuming that he WILL defend the Florida statutes? Where is there any indication that he will defend these statues? The Order only tells him to let the court know by Oct. 6 " WHETHER (my emphasis) the State of Florida will intervene in this case and participate in all future proceedings."
As to people playing "games", I don't know about you, but I sense that the other people on this thread are just doing their level best to help, so please chill out a bit.

[Are you infering I wrote that? Post # please.] AG Crist to get involved.

[True, but at what price?] Remember that issues of constitutionality are ultimately decided by federal courts, not by Florida's attorney general, [....and how do you suppose they come to a conclusion...through the filings from opposing counsel, of course.] and the final arbiter is the U.S. Supreme Court [...provided one of the parties files a brief with the Supreme Court, AND the court chooses to hear the matter. They are not obliged to hear any appeals filed with them.].
Have you considered the possibility that he might do NOTHING, and wait to see what the judge does? [An option he would not want to waste, and guranteed to tick-off the taxpayers of the Death 'r Us state if he does!]
When you speak of the "function AG Crist will/must play to defend the dastardly statutes enacted by the Death 'r Us state" , are you not assuming that he WILL defend the Florida statutes? [Yes. The stakes are to high not to do otherwise.] Where is there any indication that he will defend these statues? [Applying logic to an illogical circumstance is on the edge, isn't it.] The Order only tells him to let the court know by Oct. 6 " WHETHER (my emphasis) the State of Florida will intervene in this case and participate in all future proceedings."
As to people playing "games", I don't know about you, but I sense that the other people on this thread are just doing their level best to help, so please chill out a bit. [Good. Just as have since the first Terri thread was started some four or five threads (seems like years) ago.]
