Well, when Gov. Bush signed legislation (which I admit I haven't actually read) allowing more time for Terri, the state supreme court ruled it unconstitutional. Do you believe the state supreme courts or the US supreme court correctly interprets laws all the time? Some of the time? Only when you agree with them? People who see the law as the end all scare me. Laws are always subject to interpretation, for right or wrong. And if you don't think the congress has any business messing with states' rights, then the baseball hearings must really drive you crazy!

You're darn right about the baseball hearings. Those people make me so mad sometimes!

I don't think that the courts always get it right. In fact, I generally think they are wrong more often than they are right, but we have a system of rules and laws and I think those have to be followed, even when things don't always go the way that we like.

We can certainly try to change the law, and I think Florida's government can certainly take steps to changing rules about guardianship or removal of feeding tubes or euthanasia or whatever, but I think that's part of the political process, not circumventing the law.
