Is this GOOD NEWS? Maybe

This does not mean that George W. Greer is going to remove Schiavo; he may just be setting the stage to throw the Schindlers into a false sense of hope, as they go before Larry King Live.

Now tell me this: Why would Greer change the guardianship after all that has transpired for the past five years? Is Greer "getting religion"? Is he afraid of threats on his life?

If Schiavo is removed as guardian, the whole case is essentially over, as I understand it. I cannot see Greer backing down after he belittled Bush's letter back in August. For Greer to back down would be a major statement that he lacks "courage."

All we can do is hope and pray that Greer and the other judges want to get Terri behind them once and for all, and the easiest way to do that is remove Schiavo as guardian. Maybe the judges will go for the path of least resistance. Ironically, Greer now SEEMS more reasonable than does Demers.

Tell me where I am wrong in this analysis. This case always seems to backfire in our face. I hope that they can get that woman out of that horrible hospice as soon as possible. I hope that hospice goes out of business ASAP.

You may not be wrong...but even this tiniest respect for the judicious claims of the Schindler family FINALLY receiving notice in the court is just tremendous! I am all for a new scrutiny of Michael !

I understand how you feel that maybe Greer is just setting the stage for a sense of false hope for the Schindlers. That is a possibility. But there is also the possibility that Greer has 1.) gotten tired of the Schindlers persistent pleas for help, 2.)that this is what he has meant each time he has told the Schindlers that they were arguing their case improperly, or 3.)that the attention is getting to him.

In any case, Michael has to counter the stuff that was now thrown at him, instead of the other way around. He may be able to come up with some types of treatment he allowed Terri to receive, but there is little way that he can get around the issue of being in a relationship with Jodi and his two children by her that is a conflict of interest.

This is the opportunity they need. They know what kind of scum they're dealing with in Michael, but they really need to use the LKL show to dump the garbage out there....what can be substantiated. They can't be worrying about anything else.

Why? Because the world is now watching and these things can not be done in secret anymore.
