Carl, the point is, that these are not new affadavits. The evidence has been heard by the court. Apparently they didn't think much about what they had to say.
(insert comment about Judge Greer here)
I think the two latest affadavits are new evidence. Jeb Bush referred to "new information" when he talked about the DCF possibly taking custody. Just because the other affadavits have been reviewed by the courts, that doesn't mean they were given fair consideration. The impression I'm getting is that Greer is totally entrenched in his position for reasons of pride, ego, and wanting to maintain his politcal support within powerful elements of the legal community. The Florida Supreme Kangaroo Court then backs him up because this is a liberal court that despises conservatives, conservative causes, and Governor Bush. Then the Federal courts and Supreme court refuse to reverse the Florida courts because they suspect Greer has botched this case and they don't want a screwed-up piece of trash like this case dumped on their desks. The Federal judges are saying, in effect, "don't dump this kind of garbage on our desks and expect us to straighten it out. Besides that, previous case law says this kind of issue is generally decided in the state courts."
This case just shows how vitally important it is to get good judges nominated and confirmed. No wonder liberals engage in vicious bare-knuckles fights to keep conservative judges out of the courts. We have to start street fighting too.
