"Remember that Judge Greer's rulings have been reviewed many times by higher courts."

Are you a Republican? If so, how much faith did you have that the Supreme Court of FL would reach any decision (correct or incorrect) that would favor Bush in Bush v. Gore? The court provided me with all the evidence I needed in that case by rewriting election law, post election, to know that the high courts in FL have been loaded to overrunneth with judges who ignore the law as written by the legislature and interpret it as whatever they would like it to be. The other troubling thing with Greer for me was his taking this case with him when the re-shuffle took place at the beginning of a new term. He was not in the middle of something so that another judge could not have taken over without much work to get caught up, and Terri's case no longer fit with the new assignment he had, yet he insisted on holding on to it. In addition to the articles by Melton that I read, those are the things legally that gave off a whiff of something just not right. As to your guess concerning liberal Democratic judges as opposed to conservative Republicans and what to expect, I've never seen any proof that Greer is anything but a Republican. A Democratic judge in the lower courts in FL might be well to the right of any Republican, but I don't think Greer's rulings have anything to do with an agenda, just money. Also, I don't believe that I am fixated on Greer, just curious why he would continually make such bad decisions that always favor Schiavo.

The Supreme Court of Florida in 2005 is not the same as the Supreme Court of Florida in 2000.

Jeb Bush's appointees have ruled against the Schinders.
