Thank you for your reply.
Since formal impeachment takes time, and in this case, a life was at stake, I recommend a better way to check the judge instantly.
On the website at
http://www.terrisfight.org is posted an interpretation by Henry Titus on the separation of judicial and executive power. This is the Christian equivalent of asking for separation of church and state - or preventing the private beliefs of one party from being imposed unlawfully on dissenting members of the public.
People, including lawyers as officers of the court, and police as enforcers of the law under the Constitution, need to be taught this same principle. The judiciary must not authorize orders that would violate the Constitution, while police and governed citizens retain equal right and responsibility to ensure that laws are only applied and enforced, including judicial orders and directives, so as not to violate other laws under the Constitution.
Either the judge must correct his order, and/or the people governed by it must be careful to enforce and apply it so as not to violate other laws. In the case of Terri Schiavo, there was room in the court order to interpret it so as to allow Terri to be cared for. It was merely the ignorance of laws and rights, by the people governed, that has been preventing her rights from being protected.
Again, because there was hardly time to stop and educate each and every citizen, police officer, and lawyer in Terri's presence -- each fully capable of enforcing Constitutional laws to protect her rights -- the Governor had to intervene to prevent an imminent danger and irreversible injustice. However, in the future, I find it very necessary to teach this level of civil obedience and compliance, to prevent such entanglements from recurring.
I pray for Terri's health, that she not suffer any further or irreversible harm during the time it takes this problem to be solved. As her family has gone to extreme measures to be obedient, both to Christian and civil laws, I pray that their righteous prayers be answered so that all are saved.
Yours most truly,

Since formal impeachment takes time, and in this case, a life was at stake, I recommend a better way to check the judge instantly. Obviously Terri's feeding/hydration had to be resumed before impeachment. My point is that impeachment should still happen ASAP to ensure that records are subpoenaed before they can be destroyed, and to ensure that she'll have a chance to have her case heard before someone other than Judge George Greer.
I know that removal from office takes awhile, but if Greer was impeached I don't think it would be too hard for Terri's parents to find a judge willing to disregard Greer's earlier findings.
