In Schiavo Feeding-Tube Case, Notoriety Finds Unlikely Judge

NYT ^ | 3/17/05 | ABBY GOODNOUGH

[SouthernFreebird]

He's a murderer...period.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Terri Ping!

[MisterRepublican]

Poor little judge Greer. Figures the NYT would write a sympathy piece for a judicial thug.

[Dante3]

Judge Greer is corrupt and incomeptent.

[tiredoflaundry]

I have NO sympathy for that evil man.

[turnrightnow]

["It's killing me to watch him struggle with this," said Mary Repper, a retired political consultant who worked on several of Judge Greer's campaigns.]

It's killing him?!! This is the definition of irony.

[GeekDejure]

"A lesser person would have stepped back from this a long time ago and kicked it to another judge," Mr. Armstrong said. "I know it's hard on him, but he will not shirk his responsibility."

======

In other words... I, Judge Greer, am GOD. Period, end of argument. !!!

[TheDon]

People who know him say he considers himself a "compassionate conservative," a man whose religious faith is as dear to him as his reputation as a legal scholar.

Not anymore, if they ever did.

[GeekDejure]

Hail Terri...

Child of God...

We pray those judicial sinners...

Do not cause the hour of thy death...

Amen !!!

[Conspiracy Guy]

When his Yorkshire Terrier get's old and feeble will the judge stop feeding it?

[TheDon]

He stopped attending his longtime church, Calvary Baptist in Clearwater, in 2003 after it sent a publication to the congregation sharply criticizing him.

Imagine that.

[Saundra Duffy]

"It's killing me to watch him struggle with this,"

LOL!!!!!!! This article is really hilarious. Like Judge Greer is the victim. What a hoot.

[LegalEagle61]

He is a loser and what goes around really does come around.....

[Drango]

He was RE-ELECTED last November by 65% of the voters.

[Dante3]

Judge Greer, if he were half-way honest, would have withdrawn from the case. He has refused to follow the laws, prevented the presentation of evidence in favor of Terri, and has repeatedly given a pass to the estranged husband. He is another example of how this country is sliding into a dictatorship of judges.

[TheDon]

Judge Greer found there was clear and convincing evidence that Mrs. Schiavo would never recover and would not want to be kept alive

A fascinating standard for killing someone. Being disabled and hearsay.

[Ol' Dan Tucker]

People who know him say he considers himself a "compassionate conservative," a man whose religious faith is as dear to him as his reputation as a legal scholar.

Aha! A 'compassionate conservative'.

This explains so much.

[sport]

I agree.

[TheDon]

"He always voted the way he sincerely believed to be right," Ms. Repper said, "regardless of how many people were standing in front of him screaming and carrying on."

Sounds like it is his pride which is driving him to kill Terri.
