Well, we have excellent evidence - in this case, Judge Greer is following the law of Florida, despite hectoring, death threats, federal pressure, and public jeering. It appears that he respects the law and opposes judicial activism.
Even if I were to accept your characterization of Judge Greer's behavior in this case, you are missing the larger point. So9 proposed rewriting laws to avoid "chaos in the future." However, we have little reason to suppose that judges will respect new laws any more than they did the old ones. It is too tempting to legislate from the bench according to one's perceptions of "penumbras and emanations."
