For anyone who might have missed this quote from another thread, apparently someone who was in the courtroom said that this was Judge Greer's words:

"Michael, no way am I going to dismiss their lawsuit, furthermore you need to come back into court and answer two of their claims. Tell the court #1 how you have provided good medical care for her, #2 why you don't have a conflict of interest because you are fooling around with another woman."

I think Mikey may have some 'splainin' to do, you reckon?

Sent to me from a nonFReeper friend:

Wait you GOTTA see how Jeb Bush is stalling Felos with manuvers galore! I just LOVE IT!!!!

::snip::

Attorneys for Bush were given until Thursday to file their own arguments supporting the law, but instead filed the motion to dismiss Wednesday. Attorney Kenneth L. Connor, representing Bush, said the governor is not shying away from judicial review of the statute, but that proper procedure must be followed first.

Connor said that starts with having the lawsuit filed in Tallahassee and having the governor properly served.

"The governor has the right to a home venue privilege," Connor said. "As you can imagine, this is not the only lawsuit brought against the governor, so if you wind up forcing the governor and the staff to trot all over the state, that winds up being an extraordinary consumption of state resources."

Felos said his lawsuit was faxed to Bush's office, and counsel for governor was present at the emergency hearing Oct. 21 and did not raise those concerns.

"It's almost unbelievable that the governor of our state and someone who we hope would show some integrity and leadership would resort to such a low and trashy legal move in this case," Felos said.

Connor said the governor's motion was not a delaying tactic.

"Mr. Schiavo could have avoided the delay had he simply complied with the rules," Connor said. "If there's a delay as a result of the way in which this case has been handled it's because of the way in which Mr. Schiavo's lawyers conducted themselves, not the governor."

Connor also disputed Felos' claim that Bush improperly stepped into the business of the state's courts.

"This is not an encroachment on the judicial powers," he said. "What this is an extra added layer of protection that the Legislature passed to help assure that the lives of the disabled and their health care choices are in fact protected and respected."

Gawd it is good to see someone finally make that worm Felos squirm.

It is almost certainly not Judge Greer's words verbatum. It's somebody's interpretation of what Judge Greer said. As to how closely it resembles what he actually said, I have no idea.

BTW, if the judge is trying to follow the law, he should also ask why Michael's behavior isn't a violation of (section number) that prohibits guardians from engaging in sexual cohabitation. Actually, this would be the spot I'd more expect Greer to focus on, if anything, since it would leave him an "out". After all, Judge Greer has previously found that Michael was providing appropriate care for Terri, and that he had no conflicts of interest. For him to change stance on his issues would be for him to go against his earlier rulings. On the other hand, if he were to find that Michael's violation violated Florida guardianship statutes, he could maintain that his earlier rulings were correct but that Michael should be removed as guardian because of the formerly-unaddressed issue.

Sounds like Greer is feeling some heat from the glare of publicity, doesn't it?

[longtermmemmory]

Sounds like the judge told him what he needs to hear in order to dismiss the parents suits. He can't dismiss outright so he just gave the husband a roadmap.

1. Explain that you have provided medical care and 2. explain how the additional woman does not provide a conflict, probably with her testimony.

THEN I can dismiss their claims.

[FITZ]

Tell the court #1 how you have provided good medical care for her,

I hope they make him prove that every last cent of the $700,000 that was given to provide care for Terri actually went to provide her care ---- I guess he was free to do what he wished with $300,000 ----but if he owes Terri, he needs to pay up. I wonder if stealing from the one you are guardian over is a crime?
