No. When he told local cops to repel a state agency charged with investigating abuse, and to repel state law enforcement officials, he was stepping outside his judicial role and usurping executive power.

Judges can order enforcement of their orders. Always have, always will.

Sorry, but a local judge can't tell county cops (the county being a subdivision of state government) to shoot at state police and repel a state agency sent by the governor. Your suggestion otherwise just shows you've bought into the judicial tyranny that we're being ruled by. Traditionally, it's the EXECUTIVE who has to enforce judicial rulings. Hamilton said precisely this in the Federalist Papers - as a reason why the courts are the "least dangerous branch": They have to rely on the executive to enforce their rulings. But Greer cut through the middleman and assumed the role of an executive. So he killed Terri - and he's helping to further the death of constituitonal government.

Check Florida's laws.

The cops fall under Jeb's chain. He could have suspended them because they did not allow the FDLE to proceed.
