Why did the people of Pinellas County reelect this person with questionable ethics last year? They knew what they were getting and voted on this loser anyway.

There are probably Judge Greers in every county in the United States. Had the Schindlers not fought and the case not been publicized by conservative talk ratio and the Internet, Terri Schiavo would have died unknown and virtually unlamented. There no doubt have been many unjust deaths where the judge permitted terminating life, where the judge and the attorney have had business ties or the judge has ties to the medical industry.

Electing more Republicans is not the solution. Greer is a Republican. A radical overhaul of state and Federal judiciaries is necessary. The legislative and executive branches of government should become involved when a judge's decision will cause the termination of a human life. The same consideration is given to those sentenced to capital punishment, as governors have the power to commute death sentences in most states. Furthermore, the power of judicial review of legislation must be subject to override by the legislatures and Congress. All judges must be subject to term limits of six years, with the judge barred from serving in a judicial role for a minimum of six years. The U.S. Constitution must be amended to require popular election of judges, either nationwide for the Supreme Court or within the district or circuit where the justice will preside. Another amendment would prohibit any Federal judge from interpreting the U.S. Constitution on any basis other than original intent, on pain of impeachment.

Judicial tyranny must end.
