Despite the savaging that Judge Greer takes here every day on every thread related to Terri, he basically is following the law as it is written. While it's certainly possible to dispute his finding of fact that Terri is in a vegetative state, there was no shortage of doctors testifying that she is. Ultimately he was the finder of fact on that issue and now he is applying the current Florida law as it is written.

The problem isn't the judge; it's the law and always has been. It's completely and easily fixable.

I believed that Terri's Law was legal

No, Dog Gone - The problem IS the judge. WHY is HE the ONLY one who can make ALL the rulings, and WHY does he strike down ALL motions (and they're reasonable) by the parents??? Why won't he allow tests, why is Terri in a hospice (of which he has connections), why does he not recuse himself, why does he allow Michael to be her guardian, etc, etc. It's so in-your-face, and blatant that he's going to do whatever HE wants. This is so unbelievable!

Let's hope the Florida legislature gets off its collective duff and fixes it.

What about her husband not filing proper paperwork as far as bieng her guardian? I'm not sure of the details but that's what I've read. And he has reversed his decisions several times so I don't see how he's following the law.

He is not following the law..he is actually breaking several Florida laws regarding euthanasia and the disabled.. Euthanasia is illegal in Florida, as is withholding food and water from the disabled in any case..

How were passing comments from Terri supposedly heard by her conflict of interest husband and his family CLEAR AND CONVINCING evidence that Terri wanted to be STARVED TO DEATH?
