“Terri’s Law” Revoked by Florida Supreme Court
Florida court strikes down ‘Terri’s Law’
Well, it appears that the Supreme Court again implicitly asserts that the Judicial Branch of the Government can trump the Legislative and Executive branch. The Florida Supreme Court has stated that “Terri’s Law” - passed by the Florida State Legislature…
was unconstitutional. Thursday’s decision said the law violated the fundamental separation of powers between the executive and legislative branches.
I would assume that the irony in that statement isn’t missed by many. Since when has the Supreme Court exhibited any concern over the separation of power between the different branches of Government. In truth, they’ve been completely ignoring that separation to make their own rules and laws for quite a while now. To me, that statement is the ultimate in hypocrisy.
It’s helpful to know that - based on one man’s word, supported by no additional documentation - we can now starve a person to death. Seems it would be more humane to give her a lethal injection… but that would be considered murder. Does anyone else see any problem with the logic in this? Note to self: never move to Florida.
