Not to mention how Hitler's oppression began... it began by PASSING LAWS.

"This is the LAW of the land."

And what was the law? It wasn't so bad. A little bit of discrimination against Jews. After all, they were trying to take over German society, weren't they? That certainly couldn't be allowed. And of course, for the betterment of society we had to be free to prevent the defective members from reproducing. It wasn't really such an infringement of rights, was it? It's not like we were depriving the defective of their lives or anything - just keeping them from adding more defective members to society.

And of course, those who really had no hope of having a good quality of life, well, we were really doing them a favor to euthanize them. Right?

I mean, after all, that was the LAW. And the law, as you have so eloquently argued, MUST be obeyed to the letter. Well, except that in this case we really don't have a law authorizing euthanasia in Florida, do we? No matter. As you've argued, Judge Greer IS the law (never mind the Constitution which as its foundation guarantees to all citizens the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as the BASIS of American law).

Therefore, Herr Greer must be obeyed, at all costs.

The judge's orders, after all, MUST be obeyed.
