The judge relied on past Florida precedent by the Florida Supreme Court under another case. Article I, Section 2 of the FL Constitution nor the Fifth Amendment came under scrutiny in the past case either. It simply did not apply in this case. Do you honestly believe that court after court somehow missed this? Do you have some sort of understanding of the Constitution that no one else has?

This particular GOP CYA talking point is a dog that just ain't gonna hunt...at least with those who reference fundamental human rights as their political and legal compass.

Well I'm not GOP so I don't care what 'talking points' they choose to use or not. The only things that guide me are a strong belief in Christ, fundamental human rights, and the limitations as outlined in the Constitution of these United States. Congress had no right nor position to involve themselves in a simple guardianship case. Justice Scalia in the Cruzan decision was clear and Madison was even clearer in Federalist #45

It simply did not apply in this case.

The Constitution applies in every case.

You are vividly demonstrating the problem. Our courts and our elected officials are IGNORING the Constitution.

You, and they, are straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel.
