That is correct; however, Jeb Bush turned it into a constitutional powers case when ramrodded through "Terri's Law." The power to decide who can speak for an incapacitated person should be left to the judiciary. I would hate to think that the Louisiana congress could take away mine or my wife's right to decide my fate if I become incapacitated in some way. The Louisiana courts on the other hand exist for that decision.
