If Judge Greer ordered that it was lawful for you to beat your wife would Jeb step in?

Maybe.
What about the legislature? Don't they have a role before a governor?

What about an appeals court?

If another court(s) upheld the ruling, isn't it possible that the ruling is justified and lawful (despite pure emotional driven agendas of a few dolts who don't know how laws are applied)?

my point exactly! All of them have the power to stop this. Its like when all the courts said that blacks were subhuman (including the supreme court)

Exactly, if:

1. The higher courts let the ruling stand,

2. The legislature will not pass a law changing the decision.

What is the executive to do? It almost does not matter what the ruling is. Now if the ruling required executive ACTION, the executive could make it a low priority. The ruling in this case does not require executive action, thus the executive can do little.

I know none of this changes the immorality of the situation. But to blame the Bush brothers is silly. The blame lies with the courts. Particularly the blame lies with the Federal Court for ignoring a law passed by Congress asking for a total review of the case. If I were Congress, I would squeeze their budget really really really tight this year. And I would have Greer before a committee about his ignoring a Congressional subpeona.
