"And Greer, vilified by many religious protesters, is a church regular. He also is a conservative Republican in a state whose conservative Republican governor tried to overturn one of Greer's orders.

"George is the religious right," said lawyer David Kurland, a longtime friend."

Is the Saint Petersburg Times a conservative publication? Or should I regard their use of the 'conservative' label to be comparable to that of the newsmedia's appellation of 'conservative Rep. Gary Condit'?

I guess you can take it anyway you want. The quote, however, was attributed to a long time friend of Greer's. In another article earlier, I did read that Greer considers himself a conservative Christian. Again, I doubt if you could attribute a pro-death descriptor to all of the 40 plus judges in this case. If Greer complied with Florida law as he claims, then he is by definition a constructionist or conservative judge. If he felt the laws were bad, and so ruled, wouldn't he then be classified as activist?
