How can we roll up our sleeves and work together to oust judges like Greer when some on FR thought Greer was right all along? I can work well with those who feel an injustice was done in this case--but how to work with someone who feels there is nothing whatever wrong with what they did to Terri?

It will be tough but we can do it. There will always be people who disagree with us but "its a free country". The test will be with our so-called conservative Congressmen and Senators! We will see if they prove their worth in office. If not - they can say bye bye in their next election!

Greer was right and wrong.

I believe he over-extended his power (why does a judge have power over the rest of the state???).

He did uphold legal guardianship. Whether you like it or not, somewhere in the mess he did follow the law regarding that.

While many people want him removed, jailed, or executed, that solves nothing as Greer acted within the law. The real fight here should rest with Congress as well as state legislature. There obviously needs to be some sort of guideline in law for a judge to follow, not dictate.

The specifics of such a law; I don't know. I'd like to see some rational ideas which are based on medicine [real, not the Schindler type quack purchased opinion], individual rights, and states' right to adopt their own legislation, and not allow so much of a judicial free-for-all.

By giving people specific rights and options, the judicial will be limited.

Isn't that what this site is about, limited government?

Used to be..... before many decided to go 'fringe' and call for the death and imprisonment of people who acted legally [but not fairly, IMHO], and also called for severe government intervention with KGB type tactics (and then called anyone who disagreed with them a commie death cultist)

The attitude in the Republican base [at least on FR] really needs to adopt a new approach, which is really the old approach; drop the emotional hysteria, don't force a religion onto others, and just use freedom, liberty, and rights to propose and discuss better legislation [or the removal of] in cases of legal guardianship.

you don't, you join into the 'one body, one mind' "someones" and work hard with them to achieve a goal
