The Supreme Court's jurisdiction regarding this case is discretionary, and it's unlikely it will take up the case, especailly inasmuch as it already turned the case down.

It turned the case down when it was requested to overturn the Florida State Court.

This law about to be voted on will likely be found unconstitutional by a federal court, and the USSC will not hear an appeal on that ruling.

I'm so torn. I hate the feds sticking their nose in. And I think you're right.

But, I'd give just about anything to see this tried de novo.

Since neither of use has seen the text of the bill that has not yet been passed, on what grounds will it "likely be found unconstitutional" by a federal court? Your statement seems premature to the point of being wishful thinking.

Unconstitutional? Don't quit your day job.

The 5th and 14th Amendments to the Constitution provide that no person shall be deprived of life without due process of law.

This bill gives the parents the power to initiate a brand new lawsuit in order to ensure that their daughter is not deprived of life without due process of law.

De novo means, in this case, a new record.
