I want to know about the legality of Greer ordering all those cops to surround the hospice, and - supposedly - a shoot order, if state officials showed up to rescue Terri. I'd like to know whether such an order really was ever given, and about it's legality if it was.

Oh, I do too. A simple reading of the FL State Constitution clearly says that all public employees - including the county sheriffs - ultimately answer to the governor.

My take is that by planning to use armed resistance to the DCF, they are in rebellion against the state of Florida. At that point the governor should have declared them so and sent in a team capable of restraining them physically.

But, he didn't, and they are still there, essentially running their own little armed camp outside the state and federal laws, apparently beholden only to one judge.

When the Pinellas Park Police Dept. are arresting children, the surrounding area is in lockdown. The PPPD told more than one person, including an nbc local reporter, "I don't care if the President of the United State wants to get through, nobody gets through." (that included people held by the police tape who had relatives on their deathbed in Hospice. THEY WOULD NOT ALLOW PEOPLE WITH FAMILY EMERGENCIES IN HOSPICE GO AROUND THE YELLOW TAPE.

J. Greer got a heads up that FDLE was on the way, he did a restraining order that the Sheriff's Dept. would oppose FDLE if they tried to remove Terri's body (Greer does not think of Terri as a person). Jeb's FDLE was halfway there and they turned around. Shoot order, fuzzy on that.

Sheriff only shows up if Jeb's FDLE is on the way to hold them off.

HOWEVER, Pinellas Park PD would NOT imo, stop FDLE, et al coming on behalf of Governor Bush.

+The biggest frustration for me through all of this fiasco has been the TOTAL FAILURE of Governor Bush. I mean he's failed Terri and the citizens of Florida in every way. He was one that I didn't expect such shoddy behaviour from. Yet he could not have done any worse had he tried. My visceral disgust at his weakness and callousness in allowing an innocent woman to be executed with less protection than a CRIMINAL is not excusable.
