The Schindlers constant appeals remind me of the story in the bible about the judge who was constantly petitioned and finally relented and granted the petitioner's request.
But Judge Greer reminds me, in that same parable, of the judge who feared neither God nor man.
He has chosen excommunication from his church (no fear of God) and blatant disregard for an act of Congress and its subpeona (no fear of man).
There is one story in the bible about the woman who wouldn't give up and kept petitioning Jesus to heal her and He finally did because He said her faith was so strong that she wouldn't give up so He finally healed her. But He tested her faith for awhile first.
