How could he rule different? To do so would be an admission that he was full of it, for not checking Terry's condition better before allowing the feeding tube removal.

Saving face trumps saving lives in what passes for Greer's mind. Appears to me he may be the one with no brain activity.

Besides the fact that his collaborators would have left his body in a New Jersey landfill.

That Terri said, "No tubes for me" is purely heresay evidence presented long after Michael Schiavo had already confessed that he didn't know what to do and that, "we never discussed this."

I wonder if the courts of Florida have plans for getting rid of all the disabled.

I think this case is more about that than the unfortunate who brought it up. Not long ago, Mr. Rehnquist spoke up against efforts to increase the accountability of the judiciary on the grounds that it would prevent their ability to make and unbiased judgement and that it would result in disrespect of the court. IMHO the courts will not seek to overturn this in order to maintain a solid front in the face of the entire world.
If this is the case, we need to clean house. One or two impeachments per century would have prevented this, now we need to toss most all of them.
