The FR self-righteous, boorish bunch of arrogant dunderheads who have the answers to all issues without the travail of knowing the facts or applicable law, and more importantly, don't care about the facts or law, are illustrative of the maxim saying that there is nothing so dangerous as stupidity exercised by a large group.

The Florida Legislature has become the collective poster child of that truism.

Every once in a while that governmental branch, and the Executive as well, needs to reminded of the separation of powers doctrine has has preserved our Nation and protected us from the tyranny that dilution of the doctrine would create.

The circuit judge presiding in probate did what the evidence and applicable law indicated. The Legislature, playing to the fanatical madding crowd, knowingly contravened the separation of powers principle and transgressed into the realm of the judiciary. The courts will have little difficulty setting the Florida constitutional balance back in the equilibrium necessary to sound government.

Get over it!

B.S.

The courts are only one branch of co-equals. They are not our masters.

It is the courts, in a growing number of cases, that are becoming the tyrants.

It is they who need a reminder of the constitutional limits of their authority and power.

It is their arrogance that needs a good dousing in the realities of self-government.

It is the lawyers and judges that have lost sight of the founding principles that made this the greatest country on the face of the earth.

If this be the law, then the law is an ass. It is not progressive, nor does it make one appear superior to gleefully salivate over murdering the disabled. Joseph Gobbels should never reincarnate on FR or anywhere else.

Kinda like the Flordia courts did in the 2000 presidential election, huh.

Is this libael ? Can we sue you ?

"...transgressed into the realm of the judiciary...."

Could you give us a quick review of the "real of the judiciary " ?

"The circuit judge presiding in probate did what the evidence and applicable law indicated."

Even if you personally reviewed all evidence submitted and all law that was applicable, this would merely be your opinion and your are surely entitled to it. But in today's America, an alarming number of judges have become political creatures with a point of view.

These same judges are not beyond using their position to manipulate the law in order to advance their point of view.

Their goals are no more lofty or noble than those of the legislative or executive branch.

Some judges truly believe that they are above both the legislative and executive branch. This belief is a malignancy that truly endangers our freedoms.

They are not the anointed members of some infallable elite priesthood.

I would like to believe that all judges are impartial and above the political struggle to gain, exercise, and maintain power but I do not.

Having said that what recourse do the people have other than the legislative and executive branches of government to prevent a dictatorship of a politicized judiciary.

I will not say that Greer is one of these judges. But it should be noted that his bio refers to him as a consummate politician.

I also see the result of his work.

Get over it and just allow her to be put to death just so you can re-inforce the separation of powers?

No - don't quite think this is worth a woman's life. There is injustice going on here. There is abuse of the law to allow murder. And you think all should sit back and get over it?

I do not intend to quietly allow the judges to reinterpret laws, to redefine the meaning of vegetative and to ignore evidence that demands investigation on many fronts that have not been investigated. How easy for a judge to do his job and brush aside the little inconveniences and questions in motive that are raised.

And, when he does so, we are to ignore it? No, the judges are not foolproof either as we are seeing as they write law from the bench. Now, they are reinterpreting law and if successful, they then use this reinterpreted law or definition of words as precedent. Apparently this judge ignored the volumes of indications that Michael was abusing the power over this woman.

Your little separation of powers will have to be able to handle the situations of abuse of those powers and the fact that these abuses will be corrected.
