Florida Law keeping brain-damaged woman alive struck down...

lining up for the Constitutional showdown. Jeb Bush has appealed, will probably go up to the FL Supreme Court. Regardless of how the Supreme Court rules, it will head to the US Supreme Court.

I will, for now, side with the Court. The law was suspect to begin with, and I don't think that Jeb Bush should be given the power to decide if this woman lives or dies. Her constitutional right to privacy regarding her medical affairs cannot be tossed aside by an unconstitutional grant of power to the governor.

the problem is whether the Supreme Court will get the case before the feeding tube is pulled and/or she dies. If she dies, the case becomes moot. unless, the Supreme Court will take it on a "capable of repetition/evading review" rationale. But with regard to this plaintiff, it doesn't seem that this case would could arise again. there is a certain finality in death.

hmmm...good review for Con Law...final is tomorrow!!! yikes! back to that outline and practice exams...
