Greer is not a state judge as other media have misstated. He is a county probate judge—a step up from a town or village justice and has never had legal jurisdiction in the case as he violated state law and failed to qualify for office. He cannot claim to be a de facto judge as he has never held legal title to the judicial office. A public officer must first be a de jure officer or hold title before he can claim to be a de facto officer. In Greer’s case, by failing to qualify, he should not have even appeared on the ballot and was not legally elected.
And why is no one shouting this from the rooftops?
This whole thing should end with "Judge" Greer being disbarred and Michael Schiavo losing the settlement he got for taking care of Terri "until she dies."
Come on Governor Bush, this man isn't even a real Judge and any of his "rulings" are null and void.
As one true hero said: LET'S ROLL!
What's a town or village justice? Do they exist in Florida?
