It would be a waste of time and taxpayers' money since Greer has technically done nothing illegal and would most assuredly survive any serious impeachment inquery on that basis.
Impeachment in the FL judiciary may not hinge on legality, but competence.
In which case, the only thing standing in the way of impeachment is politics.
You are right. The case shows a deficiency in the law. Bad law has bad results.
He broke the law requiring him to review the case as mandated by Concgress, de-nova(sp?)
Really? Read this:
And specifically read this:
Order Denying Food and Water by Natural Means
Where in Florida law does a county probate judge get the authority to order a person to be starved, even if they can eat naturally? And if there was such a law, in what way would it be Constitutional under either the Florida State Constitution or the United States Constitution?
Greer is a wonderful candidate for impeachment on this alone, notwithstanding conflict of interest, bias, appearance of corruption, actual corruption, and on and on.
The black robe gang has been on his side because they smell intrusion onto their soil. But the intrusion is about to become a full scale invasion, because people are actually reading the decisions in this case.
How about bribes in the form of campaign contributions from, Michael Schiavo's atorney, Felos....would this qualify as an illegality... a quid pro quo.....
Not requiring a guardian to adhere to the qualifications set forth in the statutes of the state of Florida isn't illegal?
Not recusing himself according to statute 38.10 when asked 5 different times to do so isn't illegal?
Maybe if you spend a little time reading www.theempirejournal.com investigative reports you might think differently.
Nothing illegal? Let's try the following, on the criminal side: Murder, conspiracy to committ murder, assault, battery, mayhem, false imprisonment....
On the civil side: Negligent infliction of emotional distress, intentional infliction of emotional distress, wrongful death, violation of civil liberties (religious, freedom of speech, expression, liberty)...
I'm tired, it's been a long day but with very little effort I'm sure I can come up with more.
He has accepted campaign money from Schiavo's lawyer while the trial was going on. This could be seen as a conflict of interest. Also the judge is affiliated with the ACLU which was with Schiavo in the beginning to get custody of Terri.
That's the nut of the farce. The courts have done nothing technically illegal, but very wrong. They, and this judge, could have also done nothing technically illegal, but right.
Can you impeach a judge in Florida for being an incredibly bad judge but technically legal?
Wouldn't a campaign donation from M. Schiavo's attorney to Judge Greer at least make his handling of this case a big conflict of interest? Sure seems to me that it should! The Florida legislators seem to be all talk and no action, find that to be very sad, however, I believe most of state and federal legislators to be all talk and no action, once elected they do what they want, it's a power thing!
"...Greer has technically done nothing illegal..."
Huh? He receives financial donations from Felos. I believe that conflict of interest is illegal.
