I'm confused. Just what is going on here? He denies, then reverses himself?

[nicmarlo]

Yes....but why is the question!

[Micavaga]

He denies, then reverses himself?

See Judge Greer, if he can do it, so can YOU!

[Micavaga]

Thanks, Ohioan!

I'm trying to find ANY newspaper that might have published it, but can't find a one! (Found a Kentucky paper for something else, but alas, they don't have this either.) The truth is out there! It's just hiding for the moment!

[nicmarlo]

On that site I posted to you earlier....the heading was dated 10/20. It said that on the past Saturday, MS filed his motion about the cremation.....I'm assuming then it was filed close to the 20th.

Be sure and see this thread:

Chancellor Palpatine?

[supercat]

Yes....but why is the question!

There are many questions in this case. Answers, however, seem to be another story.

My personal suspicion is that there's a fairly strong 'bond' among judges, and judges are very loath to make each other look bad. Judges will frequently turn a blind eye to minor abuses of power by other judges, if they feel that calling attention to such abuse would do more to discredit the judiciary than letting it slide.

If Michael loses guardianship of Terri, the investigations that would likely follow would make a number of people, including some members of the Florida judiciary look very bad. It should hardly be surprising that a number of judges would prefer that not happen. On the other hand, I suspect that some of the judges who aren't yet involved too deep may have good enough noses to notice that something smells, and they may recognize that it will be much better for them if they stay out of the conspiracy.

I suspect many judges would rather let an innocent citizen get slapped with a $100 fine for something he didn't do than discredit another judge. An alarming number might even rather let an innocent person spend a month in jail than discredit another judge. But I don't think so many would be willing to let other judges commit murder to cover malfeasance.

I know that I am confused..When I know for sure I will write letter of apology to crockett if he did rule for terri

Schiavo judge refuses request to step down

Pinellas County Circuit Judge W. Douglas Baird refused to remove himself from the constitutional showdown over "Terri's Law'' on Thursday, denying a request from Gov. Jeb Bush's attorney.

The judge's decision came one day after Connor filed a motion for Baird to disqualify himself because of bias. The filing compared Baird to the Queen of Hearts in an absurd scene from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

In that scene, the Knave is accused of stealing tarts and the the Queen asserts: "Sentence first -- verdict afterwards.''

"In the Governor's view, the findings as to the merits already made by Judge Baird ... seem strangely reminiscent of the trial recounted in the Lewis Carroll fairy tale,'' the motion states.

* * *

Howard Marks, a Winter Park attorney who has become emotional during trials, said he would not object to using a literary reference to hammer home a point. But, Marks said he would never use the Queen of Hearts comparison to ask a judge to remove himself from a case.

Marks considered it "crossing the line'' and having the effect of embarrassing the judge.

Poor wittle judgie pooh....had his wittle fweewings hut. LOL! I think I like this Connor guy! : ) No wonder the "Judge" was so "terse." [per a different article, this judge had a terse response to Bush about his recusing himself.]

[nicmarlo]

Gotta get ready for work---see you all later.

This morning on Baynews 9,(local news here in Pinellas county Fl) the commentator, Al Reuchel had a brief message regarding Pinellas county. He mentioned Terri's case and talked about an Ohioan has started the candles in the window and the green ribbon crusade and how it is expanding across the country. Al Reuchel seems to be a good guy, he has given Glenn Beck updates a few times. We need more exposure like this.

Reference #259 by pc93. DOJ?

[floriduh voter]

Re: the Judicial Qualifications Committee. They're trying to stay out of this but by acting indifferent, they're not doing their job. I would continue to call the number you posted to Complain about the Judges in your post.

What are we paying bureaucrats for anyway? MAKE THEM ACCEPT A COMPLAINT OVER THE PHONE OR BY FAX!!! They ARE accountable. They should act like it.

THE JQQ'S JOB IS TO TAKE COMPLAINTS RE: JUDGES. That's who the Clerk's Office referred us to ages ago. Floriduh Voter

[floriduh voter]

That jpeg of yours is Debra Bushnell, Felos' law partner. I have my own jpeg of her in her beige suv. But, when the ACLU arrived en masse, we started to see a lot of black SUVs and black compact cars. TIN FOIL HAT BUT MINE HAS A HALO. Terri's Angel, floriduh voter

[floriduh voter]

See Judge Greer, if he can do it, so can YOU!

DEMENTIA REIGNS SUPREME IN THE SIXTH CIRCUIT COURT OF PINELLAS COUNTY, except for the Judges who engage in adultery. They run the FAMILY LAW COURT. That shouldn't be a big surprise either.

[floriduh voter]

Since the Bucs can't play this year, TERRI IS THE SIXTH CIRCUIT'S SUPER BOWL TROPHY. She's not treated like a person with feelings, let alone that they want to starve her to death, but the Judges are BIG BABIES. TRY TAKING AWAY THEIR BOTTLE!

[sweetliberty]

What a pompous ass! I sure like this Connor, and it seems he is WAY more on top of the law than these judges, or maybe it's just that they don't care about the law. They're like democRATs...."laws are for us to determine and for other people to obey."
