That's ludicrous. The "states' rights" issue is the decision from the Florida courts.

Your statement of what "you see" is not worth commenting further on.

What if the Florida courts are circumventing their own laws, crafted by the elected representatives of the people?

Since when does a court decision come under the purview of states rights? The State of Florida, through the offices of its Legislative and Executive branches, determined that this woman should be allowed to live. A court decided that they were usurping some imagined power of the judiciary. The legislative and executive branches, by design, are allowed to make laws and to change laws. Courts are now holding that this is not so, that a court order is inviolate, but legislative intent is not.

You haven't named any state right, so there's no wonder you don't want to comment further.
