I guess this means the laws of the land and the judges who uphold the laws have just been told their voice and judgement mean nothing. Sorry Jeb you just lost my vote and my wife`s. In the event that you missed it, it was the law makers, the legislature, that passed the legislation giving the Governor the authority to intervene.

"In the event that you missed it, it was the law makers, the legislature, that passed the legislation giving the Governor the authority to intervene."
Exactly, the legislatures make the laws and the judges are suppose to uphold them.
In this case the legislators decided that Terri's death is not what they had in mind when they first introduced death with dignity.
As one lawmaker said, this woman was not brain dead or in a vegetative state, this woman was not terminal ( at least not before the removed her feeding tube) and this woman did not have the chance for rehabilitation.
So the lawmakers decided to correct the law they passed in the first place. The judge only intreprets the laws.
