I agree with you. The DCF MUST NOT wait for new state or federal laws to be enacted. When Greer attempts to take away their legal mandate, they MUST respond directly to his action.
They MUST get Terri and place her under protective custody, right after Greer lets the shoe drop.
Greer knows this and could stall his ruling until the tube is removed. If he stalls, don't you think they will see that he is, and will not wait any longer?
