The documents posted at that link are very informative... I recommend them to anyone who's actually interested in the legalities of this case.
While an impeachment proceeding might offer a review of the facts and make it clear for all to see that Greer's judgment was sorely lacking, I think you are misdirecting your efforts. It would be far better to work towards legislation that would allow for correction of the error of a single trier of fact.
DITTO: IMPEACH JUDGE GREER!!
REPORT TO CIRCUIT COURT, GUARDIAN AD LITEM PEARSE - 12/29/98
[ One of your secondary links. One that you chose to mischaracterize. ]
Concerning Michaels representation of Terri's "intent"
"In the opinion of the undersigned guardian ad lite, Mr SCHIAVO'S credibility is also adversely affected by the chronology of this case. For the first four years (approximately) following the ward's accident, he aggressively pursued every manner of treatment and rehabilitation conceivable, as well as lawsuits to compensate the ward for her injuries in connection with he presumably argued that she would require substantial funds for future care and treatment. At or about the time the litigation was finally concluded, he has a change of heart concerning further treatment..."
( p. 12, par. 2 )
TRAIL/CIRCUIT COURT, JUDGE GREER - 2/11/00 DECISION
How to make your decision to disregard all Shindler witnesses appeal proof: make it based on demeanor
"The court has had the opportunity to hear witnesses, observe their demeanor, hear inflections, note pregnant pauses, and in all manners assess credibility above and beyond the spoken or typed word."
( page 3, paragraph 3 )
How to arrogantly brush aside a conflict reported by your own guardian ad litem: "hardly seems worthy of comment"
"It has been suggested that Michael Schiavo has not acted in good faith by waiting eight plus years to file the Petition which is under consideration. That assertion hardly seems worthy of comment other than to say that he should not be faulted for having done what those opposed to him want to be continued."
( page 4 - paragraph 3 )
APPEALS COURT, JUDGE ALTENBERND - 1/24/01 DECISION
How to defer to the trial judge and still call it a full appeal
"Her statements to her friends and family about the dying process were few and they were oral. Nevertheless, those statements, along with other evidence about Theresa, gave the trial court a sufficient basis to make this decision for her."
( 2nd to last paragraph )

As for your "excellent, official time line of events"
Notice that the Schindler parent's separation was included BUT NOT when Michael moved in with his other women nor when he had two kids with that women... Well I guess Shepard Broad Law Center can be "official" without being objective. More young ghouls like Felos in training.
Which is all that is needed to have an impeachment trial in the Florida state senate.
He also violated Terri Schindler's Constitutional rights under the U.S. Constitution. For that, he can and should be brought up on federal charges. Just because he's a judge doesn't mean his actions are immune from consequence.

Love your tagline.
I just read Greer's decision.
http://abstractappeal.com/schiavo/trialctorder02-00.pdf
I cannot believe that a woman's life has been ended on what he accepted as "clear and convincing evidence." He had nothing but a couple of offhand comments. Not worth the paper they were printed on.
He discounted the testimony of one of her friends that Terri objected to the treatment of Karen Quinlan on grounds that if the discussion happened, Terri would only have been a kid when she said it. But it turns out that the judge's basis for saying this was his own mistaken notion about when Karen Quinlan died (he thinks it was 1976, when in fact it was 1985).
And not one of the appeals courts caught this? Well, I guess they don't call it Floriduh for nothing.
Read his decision. It's mind-blowing.

We conclude that the trial court's decision is supported by competent, substantial evidence and that it correctly applies the law.
I don't think I would ever consider retiring to Florida after this.
pubic=public in my earlier post.
Although pubic polling would robably get a smarter response.
vaudine
Now I really am curious why the judge had to make such a statement as he did to refuse any care for the girl other than the feeding tube which had been removed.
WOW.........I think we will have all kinds of variations on your tag line soon!!*G* I have not ceased praying that God would remove that man and ALL the rest that would be just like him. I personally would like to see California's ENTIRE 9th circus court VANISH into thin air!!!
