You're advocating, effectively, lawlessness, sitetest.

The Florida legislature had an opportunity to act, and didn't.

I certainly understand and agree with your anger, but you can't simply discard laws you don't agree with.

High emotion and frustration are leading some people toward situational anarchy, it seems to me.

Dear sinkspur,

"You're advocating, effectively, lawlessness, sitetest."

No I'm not. I'm stating that the judiciary has become lawless and that it is within the inherent power of the executive to check the judiciary's lawlessness.

The fact is that the murderer greer IS in contempt of Congress, which is part of the federal government. President Bush is the chief federal law enforcement official, and thus has the power to arrest those who commit federal violations.

The fact is that Florida state law permits the DCF to take an abused adult into custody WITHOUT THE PRIOR APPROVAL OF A COURT, if that adult is in immediate physical danger, especially of death.

The fact is, the executive and the legislature are co-equal branches of government, and do not have to kow-tow to the illegal, unconstitutional acts of a tyrannical judiciary.

My advocacy is to RETURN to the rule of law from the current judicial lawlessness.

One picks one's fights, Sinky. You are of the opinion that a viable life is not worth fighting over.

There are a LOT of stupid laws with which we put up on a regular basis.

But stupid laws which result in innocent fatalities--that's a whole different category.
