[Sir Francis Dashwood]

Perhaps the state of Florida had an interest, but not the Feds, at least according to my copy of the Constitution.

"nor shall any state... deprive any person of life... without due process of law..."

[Ditto]

"nor shall any state... deprive any person of life... without due process of law..."

There was plenty of 'due process of law' in Florida as I recall. The results were not to your liking, but the law was served.
