This certainly is a tragedy.
But stop and think for a second...do you want Judges who judge according to how they "feel" about the law, or according to what the law says?
In most cases, Judges who adjudicate according to whether they think the law is "good" or "bad" end up doing things like overturning anti-sodomy laws.
Having said that, clearly, there are times when bad immoral law is created. What then is to be done? Either the legislature has to kill it, the Judges have to not use it, or the executive has to not uphold it. They all have a duty in this regard and they are all equal in that duty. Someone has to act. In this case, the rulings by Greer and the entire procedure on what evidence has been allowed and what has not are suspect and for me represnt bad law. It is why the congress acted to, in essence IMHO, move the venue. That is what is the issue here and the Judges are empowered as a result of the Congressional act to review the whole thing from the start. That they are not doing so based on the existing transcripts and testimony is shameful...setting aside that proceeding is exactly what they need to do.
Anyhow my fiend, just my thoughts on the matter. This is a travesty and miscarriage of justice...it is beyond that, it it the willful kiling of an innocent person, who is conscious and not about to die, by the state for the convienence of the husband. it must not stand if we can at all help it.
