The other items she talks about in that post seem like lawyer-talk designed to confuse the issue.

But then, I guess I fall under this mindset whereby she writes "Of course, there are different views on the role of text and legislative intent in statutory interpretation. Some people think that courts should follow the text and the text alone."

If you are not following the text of the statute voted on and provided by the legislature specific to this circumstance, then you're opening a can of worms in regard to different meanings of many different documents and cases which do not necessarily apply.

Why not stick with the text of the statute the legislature wrote directly pertaining to this case? It requires very little interpretation. The "intent" is clearly made in the words voted and agreed upon by legislative act.

michael..

watching this from a distance,it feels to me that the only thing these appellate courts have been concerned with is PROCESS

important though that may be

our judicial system should be about ultimately be about JUSTICE

as far as i can tell each and every objection raised to the execution of this woman has been met with an argument about PROCESS

so what we have is a state sanctioned starvation death of a woman on the basis of technicalities ....not the least of which imo, was/is the standing of the 'husband' who petitioned the court to kill her....

( and oh yes, let it be a PROCESS, let's not just give her a lethal injection like we do condemned criminals, that would too obvious)

JUSTICE , tempered with mercy, demands that these judges reject all decisions rendered on the basis of technicalities when an innocent human life hangs in the balance
