Congress has no power to control Judge Greer. He is not a federal judge. All they can do is limit federal courts, not state courts.

True that. While I agree the federal judiciary needs to be reined in, even if there were no federal judiciary it wouldn't have made a difference in the Schindler/Shiavo litigation. An out of control state judge was the sole finder of fact and the Schindlers appeals to the USSC were all denied. Result would've been the same.

That's not exactly true. While Congress couldn't impeach and remove Greer, the could cite him for contempt of Congress for his defiance of the supoena they issued and order his arrest by the Federal Marshals. Further since the resolution specifically instructed that the case be heard de novo, and the Federal district, appeals, and Supreme courts ignored this instruction (to try the case anew), they could be cited for contempt and impeached.

Needless to say, most of us around here aren't going to hold our breath.
