So really, it's just the status quo all over again. The new guardian would be only a voice in court proceedings. And what's to keep Greer from ordering another starvation, and Bush another stay, and another GAL being overruled by subsequent judges. There is no real victory here. This could theoretically if she lives go on for many more months or years.

This is without a doubt the first documented case for the whole world to see of murder for the dissabled ordered by the courts Of USA...MSNBC is going to be talking about this after commercial

"what's to keep Greer from ordering another starvation, and Bush another stay,"

The order is in effect until and unless the governor himself revokes it.

This is what they're SUPPOSED to do...

Information Gatherer
The GAL's "investigative" function is more properly described as independent fact finder, information gatherer, or observer. The GAL can be expected to gather information about the child's current situation (as opposed to the allegations in the petition) by interviewing the child, parents, relatives and/or friends, school personnel, and professionals with whom the child has contact. The Guardian Ad Litem can gather reports and written records pertaining to the child and his family. It also may be useful for the GAL to observe the child's interactions with the significant others in his life and report those observations to the court. Finally the GAL can provide invaluable information about the past responses of both the child welfare system and the court system with regards to the needs of the child.

I think the order said he was to report to Jeb.
