I don't agree, Judges need to be held accountable, whether they are elected or appointed, the President can be held accountable for misdeeds so should a judge, espcially if he is a lifer.

And speaking of life time judges, this too needs to be changed, just as we saw fit to limit the terms a President can hold office.

With that said, I also think the Florida law stinks as well - make better laws.

That's how it's supposed to work - the legislature MAKES the laws, the Judges uphold them AS WRITTEN.

In 2003, Jeb got a "Terri' s Law" passed in the legislature that forced them to reinsert her feeding tube then, which was after 6 days without it. But since that time, Greer tossed the law out! How does a judge negate a law, legally?

When Jeb tried to get a law thru again, this time, the legislature wouldn't pass it.
