he fails to honor the rule of law, and he disregards the fact that while we can question Judge Greer’s decision, his was a court of competent jurisdiction. The parties were given due process according to each and every judge who considered the case

You don't get the big picture do you? When the judicial system, as a branch of government, fails to enforce the law of the land, according to the judgment of either the legislature, or the executive office. Then either of those branches can act to restraint the Judicial Branch. That is what separation of power is all about. It is not about whether Jeb Bush pushed to send the case through 50 judicial appeals. Each branch is sworn to obey the law of the land, and each branch is free to render judgment upon the law. The legislature acts by changing the law, and the executive, by refusing to allow its enforcement.

What is with people that they automatically default all judgment to the judicial branch? Why do you think we elect the other branches for in the first place. The elected branches speak for the people, and it is we the people who ultimately decide which law and which type of government we will live under. If any of the three branches can be deemed to be illegitimate, it should be the one that is furthest from the popular will.

Exactly! We just just ain't got anyone with balls enough to do it.

Please tell me what law of the land Judge Greer violated? Judges who conduct a bench trial have discretion to decide the facts of the case. It seem that the evidence presented did not satisfy the clear and convincing test, but when we put these cases into the hands of judges like Greer, we are the ones to blame for the outcome. He was elected by less than 2000 voters. Do you expect that these same voters will return Judge Greer to the bench in the next election? Don't be surprised if they do, because Judge Greer will be the darling of the MSM, and unless you live in a cave, you know how misinformed the average voter is.
