"Liberals are starving Terri"

I wish that were true. But Judge Greer is a Republican. So are most of the 11th Circuit Judges who refused to take up the case, thumbing their nose at Congress --- including the ass (Judge Birch) who delivered an arrogant sermon criticizing Congress and the president.

Jeb Bush as governor let Greer mount a mini-insurrection and get away with it. Greer commandeered local cops and ordered them to repel a state agency and Jeb's state police. No consequences for Greer in this act of rebellion. In fact, Jeb had respectful words for the slimy judge in a newspaper interview last week. You can say that only "liberals" made this happen, but the facts say different. you can also say Jeb bears no responsibility, but an act of ommission - by a person in authority - is an act all the same.

But Judge Greer is a Republican. So is Alren Spector, did we put him into office or did we need a lot of help from some useful idots?

 So are most of the 11th Circuit Judges who refused to take up the case, thumbing their nose at Congress --- including the ass (Judge Birch) who delivered an arrogant sermon criticizing Congress and the president.

If you read Scalia:  the point at which life becomes "worthless," and the point at which the means necessary to preserve it become "extraordinary" or "inappropriate," are neither set forth in the Constitution nor known to the nine Justices of this Court any better than they are known to nine people picked at random from the Kansas City telephone directory you might begin to have a better knowledge of why the Federal Courts refused to overturn the decisions of the state courts. 

Jeb Bush as governor let Greer mount a mini-insurrection and get away with it. 

Judge Greer may have abused his discretion, but his order was valid and constitutional protected. Don't be persuated by the rhetoric of those who want to blame republicans first.

Greer commandeered local cops and ordered them to repel a state agency and Jeb's state police. 

I must respectfully disagree. Judges issue orders they don't control a police force. if the police acted it was because the order of a judge of competent jurisdiction must be obeyed otherwise we have anarchy. 

No consequences for Greer in this act of rebellion.

It's not a rebellion. He exercised his constitutional authority. I may not agree but I will defend his right to do so. Perhaps next time it will be a truly conservative judge who will save the life of someone from the attempts of liberal athiests who want to arrest some child in elementary school for carrying a bible. 

 In fact, Jeb had respectful words for the slimy judge in a newspaper interview last week. 

Because Jeb Bush is an honorable man and respects the rule of law. I am quite sure it took a great deal of restrain for him not to create chaos out of a simple case of a judge abusing his discretion. 

You can say that only "liberals" made this happen, but the facts say different.

What facts? Liberals usually only offer platitudes but rarely can they give you anything specific.

 

 you can also say Jeb bears no responsibility, but an act of ommission - by a person in authority - is an act all the same.
For an act of omission to be culpable, there must have been a duty to act. Not only was there no duty to act, but there was a duty not to act. Please enlighten me on exactly what legal authority, not biblcal, we do not have a theocracy, I have already heard from Aristotle, so please see if you can give me authority from the Florida Constitution or any Florida law or case.
