Oh, if there is one, I definitely wanna know about it.
Greer is an elected judge, but I think Whittemore was appointed by Clintoon.
Me too!
It's the unelected officials that were the problem. Congress passed a law and the judicial Kings chose to ignore it. The problem is a judicial dictatorship.

Hell yeah! I'm FReepmailing you my email address, let me know if you need any help setting it up!
Let me know too, this one is too important to let go.
How come you don't know? Greer just won re-election---easily---in 2004.
Me too!!!!!
Couldn't this have waited a day, at least? Terri's only been dead a few hours.
Grim Reaper Greer: Go ahead with your silly autopsy. I'll decide what is in the final report anyway.
What REALLY needs to happen, besides getting rid of Greer, is to re-revise that Statute 765 - why THAT was NEVER repealed is beyond me. Did you guys ever see the history of that???
What should people do to make their opinion known?
I live in Florida, and I believe that boycotting Clearwater/St. Pete would be worthwhile. Just don't go there or spend money there. All you snowbirds and conventioners - go somewhere else. YOu sure don't want to get sick there. If the tourist money dries up, then maybe the death-warriors can be defeated. And for all you folks who voted for Judge Greer, you can throw him out, too. After all, you could be next....
All the other posts here want to get rid of activist judges, but everyone here wanted these judges to BE ACTIVISTS and go against the law as written in Florida relative to guardianship.
So what is it - you only want activist judges when they suit your particular purpose or do you want judges who live by the letter of the law and impose those laws?
The law in Florida is quite clearly written. The husband is the guardian when the wife is incapacitated. Mr. Shiavo was the guardian and the judges refused to be activists and re-write the Florida law.
Flame me if you want, but you can't have it both ways folks.
Please let me know whatever you find out. Thank you.
Judge Greer was just reelected by the voters of Pinellas County in the last electio.He had a lot of powerful supporters, and people who live there say the Schiavo case was never even brought up while he was up for election. I believe he's retiring after this term, however, so there won't be a chance not to elect him again.
I favor impeachment for him. (Maybe followed by a visit to Starke?)
I would LOVE to see congress simple "forget" to fund a substantial amount of the federal judiciary for a year or so and listen to the black robe tyrants screaming and wailing as their perks, travel junket, security staff, etc. are eliminated.
Greer isn't running for re-election.
