You are confusing the judicial system with the legislative system. We do not vote the judges into office. We vote the legislature into office. The judges are appointed. Look at the mess going on right now with President Bush's appointees. Even with a majority of Republicans in office, it is still difficult to get the appointments through with the Democrats and all their tricks. Also, the judges make decisions based on their determination on points of law. They are not puppets. The laws have to be crystal clear with no way to determine any other outcome so as to prevent this from happening again. Also, we are speaking about one judge, Judge Greer. These other judges are ruling on whether or not Terri's constitutional rights were violated, not on what was in Michael Schiavo's mind or heart.

Florida doesn't vote in the Fl supreme court Judges? the local Judges (including Greer) are not elected? By that's news. When did Jeb Bush appoint Greer? Or for that matter, when did he appoint the Fl State supreme Court Judges.

The election of judges varies from state to state. The judge in this case, Greer, was elected.

In Colorado we hold elections for certain judicial posts.
