Looks like Terri's death has been good for Judge Greer's career as well.

Here's the Pinellas ACLU's description of the award they're giving Greer:

The Pinellas County Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union confers this honor upon individuals who have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to basic civil liberties, principles, and values inherent in the Bill of Rights. In the footsteps of Gardner Beckett, these recipients exemplify an unflinching commitment to the defense of our constitution and it's guarantees of equal protection, due process, and simple justice.
The annoying apostrophe abuse appears in the original text. Note also that they capitalize "Bill of Rights", but not "constitution". Probably an innocent oversight, but it does underline the perception that the ACLU values the BoR (well, certain parts of it, anyway) far above the rest of the Constitution.

The American Civil Liberties Union is supporting the man who took away her most-important civil liberty?

The ACLU really needs to change its name.

Moral absolutes ping.
I am helping Little Jeremiah out with this ping list for a few days.

This judge who believes he has the authority to also be the lawmaker and executioner is an embarrassment to America. I am still perplexed as to why he hasn't been charged with contempt of Congress. However, I also realize that the fact that the ACLU is honoring him will hopefully demonstrate to many of the "conservatives" who were saying that decisions to starve and dehydrate innocent people was somehow a "state's rights" issue.

The state of Florida should prohibit the use of ACLU for law school clinic credit.

The ACLU uses law students ability to get class credit as a means of TAX PAYER funded cheep labor.

The ACLU must recieve ZERO tax dollars.

Exactly WHO is this ACLU? Is your relative, friend or neighbor a member? It seems to me to be a very small group of fanatics who live in a world of darkness! If I encountered a member I would certainly point out the error of their ways!!!!

Truthfully, this is disgusting. I disapprove of the euthanasia euphemism. Terri was murdered. What this judge allowed was a state execution. And then they tried to cover it up with a sham autospy declaring her brain dead. Well, of course she was brain dead after they were done starving her. The fact they wouldn't allow a second set of doctors to examine the autopsy results is mighty fishy if you ask me.

These are utterly despicable people -

HONORING the murder of an incapacitated woman.

Her parents were more than willing to care for her, but NO, she had to be starved to death!
THAT'S sick. It's EVIL. It's unconscionable.

The ACLU is FOR euthanasia. Liberals believe its alright to kill innocent people by starving them to death but deem its inhumane to torture murderers' tender psyches during their execution. They've descended beneath loopy.
