So much for the sanctity of marriage ...

So the Florida legislature has just overruled the state court in the case of that comatose woman. Whatever happened to separation of powers? That court had ruled based on existing law. So the new standard is every time we don't like what a court does we pass an ex post facto law? And what about the sanctity of marriage? This woman's HUSBAND is the one who sought the court order. But instead of honoring that, the legislature and governor sided with her parents. I know Florida, which is one of two states that prohibits gay people to adopt, will never allow gay marriage; but I didn't realize they were against supporting traditional marriage.
