The Predictability of Evil
I recently read that Judge W. Douglas Baird wrote that [Terri's] law is unconstitutional "because it is an unconstitutional delegation of legislative power to the governor and because it unjustifiably authorizes the governor to summarily deprive Florida citizens of their constitutional right to privacy."
I remembered that I predicted it: "The Florida Supreme Court will hold "Terri's Law" to be unconstitutional on right-to-privacy and separation-of-powers grounds. The U.S. Supreme Court will deny certiorari (i.e., refuse to hear the case)."
I'm sorry to have been right, at least at the trial court level. Let's hope the Florida or U.S. Supreme Courts prove me wrong.
