Well, for starters, he could have his attourney general threaten to charge hospice personnel with neglect if they fail to keep Terri's mouth moistened as is standard protocol even when someone's feeding tube is disconnected; Judge Greer's orders didn't authorize withholding such palative treatment. Only a short-term fix, but it would help Terri a lot until Greer can produce a new order on Monday.
He could also ask the attourney general to investigate other neglect charges, subpoenaeing Terri as a witness.
Judge Greer is giving orders he has no rightful authority to make. The nature of "checks and balances" means that an executive can overrule the judiciary when he determines that it acts illegitimately, and the legislature can impeach an executive whom it determines has wrongly used such power. In practice, I think impeachment of Gov. Bush would be unlikely as it could be shown that it is Greer who is acting contrary to legislative design.
Sometimes executive overrides have been used for good; sometimes for evil. They are certainly not, however, unprecedented (at least at the national level--I don't know about Florida in particular).
That's completely reasonable, and Ican agree 100% with that... I don't, however, agree with the idea of leaders we elect acting by fiat. But, maybe that's just me ;0)
It's mind boggling that this gutless wonder is so monumentally spineless that he's refusing to take a stand even though he's a lame duck!
And this pathetic excuse for a "man" wants to run the whole damn country?
Not with my vote, he won't. And I'll be doing everything I can to persuade as many others as I can to join me in "boycotting bush on election day."
The man is an utter disgrace.
