Seven convicted.
Seven in Two Hundred and Sixteen Years.
This is not something to undertake lightly.
This is not something you do because you are pissed at the verdict in one case, no matter how wrongheaded.
This is something traditionally reserved for Judges who are proven corrupt, who sold their decisions, or were already convicted of other felonies.

Imagine for a moment that you are a Circuit Court Judge. A terrified woman comes before your Court pleading for her life. She testifies, under oath, that her violent and demented husband raped her, set her clothes on fire and threatens to kill her. She needs your help and petitions your court for an Injunction for Protection. What would you do? Well, this is what a real Circuit Court Judge of the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida; by the name of Judge George W. Greer decided.
He actually had this exact case come before his bench seven years ago, when Helene Ball McGee, from Dunedin Florida pleaded with him to grant her an Injunction for Protection. Helene was in absolute fear for her life. Judge George W. Greer, however, refused to help her, because (according to him) she had not shown him enough proof that her husband was physically violent yet. Two weeks later her deranged husband, Bobby Lane McGee, stabbed her to death. Perhaps if Bobby Lane McGee, had raped Judge Greer first, he would have had a much better insight into the physically violent nature of her husband.
Now this same gender-biased Judge, with utter disdain for women, is the same Judge in charge of the Terri Schindler Schiavo Case. True to form, this Judge continues to ignore the Constitutional rights of Due Process for Terri Schindler Schiavo, in much the same way he did to Helene Ball McGee, who was violently murdered seven years ago this month. Terri who is physically disabled, has trouble swallowing food on her own and because of this Judge Greer has seen fit to order her feeding tube removed. Her Court appointed 'Guardian' husband who has since abandoned her for another woman, (with whom he has fathered two children) wants her dead and has asked Judge Greer's permission to use hundreds of thousands of dollars from her Medical Trust Fund Money to pay his blood-sucking lawyers to find a way to make this happen.
It worked. Judge George W. Greer has now ignored her parents plea for help and has ordered Terri's execution by starvation and dehydration to begin on March 18, 2005. This cruel, torturous, and horrifying death of yet another woman before his Court will take up to 10 days of horrific suffering to cause her to die. But Judge Greer is not without mercy, no sir; he will allow her parents permission to stay and watch their daughter starve to death.
What is wrong with this picture? Is this the same United States of America, whose US Supreme Court is inscribed with the words, 'Equal Justice under law.' While Terri starves and cries out for justice; our distinguished Supreme Court Justices will be too busy to hear, because they will be deciding how best to abolish those embarrassing 'Ten Commandments' of which, the Fifth Commandment is, 'Thou shall not kill.'
God help us. Every person of conscience in this Country should be ready to travel to the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court House, in Pinellas County Florida, and scream at the top of their lungs, that this is Murder! This is Murder! This is Murder!

Hmmmmm since judge Greer later said she never complained that she was afraid of her husband and therefore he was correct, WHAT COURTROOM WAS HE IN????? Did he sleep through the whole trial? OR is he totally incompetent or is he someone we should fill the judiciary with???
Maybe we need a 3 strikes and you are out for judges, or may be, just maybe we should hold judges to a higher standard with active impeachment of judges who disregard the law. (Ever see the list of Florida Laws that he failed to follow in Schiavo case?? FRIGHTENING!)
Impeachment is something that needs to be undertaken early and often.
This is whatever the "Governed" say it is.
Why should overt corruption have to be present? If I don't do my job, or do it badly, I get fired regardless of whether I'm 'on the take' or not. Why should judges be immune from performance evaluations?
Answer one thing for me. If one cedes to you that the judiciary followed the law as they see it, does it matter to you how this woman dies? That is to say, it is ok with you that we are dehydrating her unto death? You good with that?
Seven convicted. And even when convicted they are still eligible to run for office. One of those seven is, in fact, a congress critter. For 2 points, name that critter. For 5, name the cause of the critter's removal from a Federal judgeship.
