My words are separated from the beginning of the article by a line, then "by Mitch Stacy". Sorry if that isn't clear.

I am asking ALL of YOU, do you realize the consequences of what has happened? We have pressured Florida's governor and representatives to by-pass a law to their Constitution, the PEOPLES' RIGHTS.

Scholars, constitutional experts are saying it was wrong.

Scholars, constitutional experts are saying it was wrong. posted by lakey Scholars and experts who want the oligarchy of the courts and judges to continue and to increase in power. And they have a strong advocate, the criminal enterprise democrat party, because if the courts diminsh in their liberal mutation of this nation, the last corrosive finger of democrat societal engineering power will be gone. So be it. Come quickly!

Laws are a Republic's taboo structure, the framework upon which the civilization is based. In a Constitutional Republic like ours, the elected legislators are the ones tasked with writing those laws and thus establishing the parameters of the taboo structure for the society. The courts and activist judges have truned this on its head, using judicial fiat to remake and ugly ghost of what was originally wrought. And the head count from such gross mutation is well over 40,000,000 slaughtered and counting. Now, if the courts can control this euthanasia issue also, the death toll will mount precipitously. Scholars and experts ondeed! Scoietal engineers envisioning their fall from power is more like it!

Article 1, Section 2 Florida State Constitution

SECTION 2. Basic rights.--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, to be rewarded for industry, and to acquire, possess and protect property; except that the ownership, inheritance, disposition and possession of real property by aliens ineligible for citizenship may be regulated or prohibited by law. No person shall be deprived of any right because of race, religion, national origin, or physical disability.

Now, which right was it that was bypassed? And, help me out here please, what section of the Florida State Constitution protects a husbands right to own and kill his wife? I haven't found that one yet, I must not be much of a scholar.

The only thing I can think of that would make this law unconstitutional is if it is a one time deal specific to Terri schiavo only. That would definately violate the equal protection rights of people. Some are saying that this law expires i 15 days and that it was retroactive. That is not how I am reading the law. I am reading it to further strengthen the existing laws by protecting all who may end up as Terri has with no living will.

I hate to say this, but by Florida law - the statutes written by the legislature - Judge Greer's ruling was legal. The flaw that I see in Florida is that when there is a dispute, it goes to a judge. The judge decides. By Fla law, in order to disconnect the feeding tube, Terri must be PVS, and there must be clear and convincing evidence that that is what she would want. We all know she isn't pvs, and the evidence is far from clear and convincing, however, Greer makes the call. If he is "convinced" on both counts, then it's legal to do it. The higher courts go along with it, and the fed courts won't intervene in a state issue. I still think that it's a violation of fed and state law to deny her the chance to eat by mouth before doing it, but again, none of the judges agree with me, so disconnecting the tube was "legal".

The courts in Florida don't seem to want to acknowledge that these Fla. statutes conflict with the U.S. and Florida constitutional right to life. So doesn't that make the statutes illegal? I think those are the laws they need to worry about being unconstitutional.
