Quiet judge persists in Schiavo maelstrom
St. Petersburg Times ^ | March 6, 2005 | WILLIAM R. LEVESQUE, Times Staff Writer

Posted on 03/18/2005 1:07:57 PM PST by FoxPro

And Greer, vilified by many religious protesters, is a church regular. He also is a conservative Republican in a state whose conservative Republican governor tried to overturn one of Greer's orders.

"George is the religious right," said lawyer David Kurland, a longtime friend.

Friends say Greer's intellect is perfectly formed to withstand the very tempest he now faces. Always calm, not prone to mood swings or flares of temper, unerringly polite, he is not easily ruffled, they say.

But the criticisms sting, friends say. His relationship with his church, for example, has changed.

"He's been through a lot of storms in his life," said Mary Repper, a political consultant and friend. "This is just another one. George takes everything in stride."

Except as Ann Coulter has shown, there is no "religious right."

As it should IMO. I would not trust this man to be a 'man of God'. I would not forbid him from church, but I would have nothing to say to him. Ever.

IF Greer is a registered Republican, the Republican Party of Florida ought to eject him forthwith. He is no Republican. He is a murderous judicial tyrant out of control, who has placed himself above the law he is sworn to uphold.

Don't be surprised if the Lord God Almighty strikes this evil man down at a time when nobody expects it.

Greer is not God. He will learn that soon enough.

If true, it's a quiet reminder that, although forgiven, Christians are still sinners and still subject to errors of judgement, action, omission, etc. And, if true, I hope that Judge Greer has spent a lot of time on his knees before God. More importantly, I hope he's receptive to a response.

He is also a murderer, if she dies.

Who will prosecute him?

Greer urinates on the law, the Costitution of the State of Florida, the United States Constitution, and basic human morality. Not satisfied with this he just also defecated on Congressional supoenas.

Sadly, there are o winners, only losers in this situation. How about praying that she will start swallowing on her own and can be given nourishment that way?

Whatever.

It is ok to legialate from the bench from a Judge's prespective right up until it comes to protecting life, which they consistantly legislate to end. Regardless if it is abortion or feeding tubes, it seems that Judges are into killing.

Time for term limits for Judges. This one certainly has to go.

It'd be nice if he would consider all the relevant facts - not just the ones he is interested in. Also, putting at naught a congressional subpoena is not exactly good form either. I hope he gets impeached for that last one alone.

The imperial judiciary is very powerful in this country, and it will be the demise of this country in the end.
