It's against judges who think they're God, legislators who ignore the basic law of the land, our constitutions, Executives who don't execute on their sworn duty to uphold the constitution and defend the lives of their citizens, and currently, against people like you who defend the moral murkiness that is exactly what got us to this point in the first place.

Actually, I am pointing to the murkiness of the law, and suggesting that this is what has brought this situation about. Thus, the law should be fixed in order to prevent this situation from arising again next week. I am, you see, trying to present concrete practical solutions to the problem before us, solutions that do not involve fantasies about Jeb driving a Hummer into the hospice lobby and storming the police lines, Rambo-style. I realize this is less emotionally satisfying that that sort of thing, but I believe that it is far more likely to result in real improvements in end-of-life care in Florida.

Several problems with that.

First, there is not a single bit of murkiness to the law. Any child can understand what Article One, Section Two means, and that it has just been brutally raped. Again, you and all the others I've seen on FR taking the position you are are glaringly continuing to ignore that provision of the fundamental law of Florida, and the provision in the Bill of Rights it mirrors.

The law doesn't need to be fixed, y'all just need to quit pretending it doesn't exist.

Secondly, your bit about the Governor 'driving a hummer into the lobby' or whatever is a lying strawman, meant to create an impression that has nothing to do with reality.

A nurse with an order from the Governor could have rescued Terri. The head police officer at the scene of the crime made that clear to me.

Quit spreading evil disinformation. Quit lying.
