Sorry, he is not doing the right thing or he would call for an independent medical review of Terri's condition rather than relying on heresay evidence to condemn her to death.

It takes a mighty cold judge to be able to defend a man trying to commit murder and ignore the fact that possibly Terri is not brain dead.

The FR self-righteous, boorish bunch of arrogant dunderheads who have the answers to all issues without the travail of knowing the facts or applicable law, and more importantly, don't care about the facts or law, are illustrative of the maxim saying that there is nothing so dangerous as stupidity exercised by a large group.

The Florida Legislature has become the collective poster child of that truism.

Every once in a while that governmental branch, and the Executive as well, needs to reminded of the separation of powers doctrine has has preserved our Nation and protected us from the tyranny that dilution of the doctrine would create.

The circuit judge presiding in probate did what the evidence and applicable law indicated. The Legislature, playing to the fanatical madding crowd, knowingly contravened the separation of powers principle and transgressed into the realm of the judiciary. The courts will have little difficulty setting the Florida constitutional balance back in the equilibrium necessary to sound government.

Get over it!
