As a conservative, I don't think that the government ought to override the wishes of Terri Schiavo. On the other hand, it is not at all clear to me that it is trying to do so. Just because the husband says it is, doesn't make it so. We can't give the husband sole unchecked authority to determine whether his wife lives or dies. Greer did not apply the law to the actual facts. He pretty much rubber-stamped what the husband said. No point in having a judge in the process at all if all he's going to do is rubber stamp someone else's position. He's got to do a meaningful review, and apply the law to the actual facts--not some fictional version of the facts that was invented to justify what he wanted to do anyway.

Why that's brilliant!
