I only meant that in the time before official impeachment proceedings started, that he could start his own investigations into the proper adherance to the law, some possibly criminal. I didn't mean the two would be tied together.
But, a governor intent on investigating the circumstances, and having had Terri examined after emergency removal, he might have more weight in being granted state custody. Too, the state could request Greer dismiss himself. After the examination, if it is shown that Terri is not PVS, that could throw the legal battle into criminal court which would definitely take the ball out of Greer's jurisdiction.
There are some different avenues that could be taken. But they require guts and a willingness to potentially give up his political career, as governor at least. But, were criminal charges warranted or even misapplication of the law, having saved Terri might pressure Congress to not vote against him.
You think he and he lawyers haven't been trying to find a way?
Yes, there are many things he could do
But the fact remains .. the State Courts and the Fed Court have upheld the removal of her feeding tube regardless of any new evidence
It sucks big time and my heart is breaking for her family .. but the bottom line is .. they courts will not allow the feeding tube put back in
