No Ken it's not. Life Liberty and the pursuit of blah blah is not Constitutional either... it's in the preamble to the Declaration of Independance which is a list of grievances against the crown and a declaration of... well independance. It is *not* a document of law.
If you want to see what the constitution has to say about what is and what is not a federal issue read Article 1 section 8 of the constitution. You agree that this is not about borrowing or minting money, nor is it declaring war or about piracy on the high seas. You won't find anything about a case like this.
This is a state issue or a personal issue because the Tenth ammendment says it is (see the Bill of Rights).
I don't know how you couldn't know this... every Canadian kid learns this stuff in 4th grade.

Her parents own her rights?, not her actual "I dont want to live like" statements she made when she was coherent (or her life long mates)?
Life long mates? WTH? She was young when this happened. Her parents know her MUCH better and her 'loving husband' is a bigamist.

Elected Republican officials with the Religious right in their back pockets....How many judges have to vote this down before the Republicans give up?
Hasn't she been in court enough?

You honestly feel an emergency joint session of Congress, and our president flying from Texas to Washington cutting vacation time short for ONE person is NOT Meddling and not setting a mandate?
YES!

Why doesn't the religious right consider ...
