Since Judge Baird is going to allow the suit to move forward will this mean that the Gov's team will be able to examine all previous court documents and examine witnesses?

Let's put it this way....IF this Court keeps being run as a circus, I cannot imagine that, eventually, the continually breaking of the Rules of Civil Procedure will be tolerated. David Boise tried to do that, and also, trample the Florida and US Constitutions. Having said that, it is also possible that they will continue to break all the rules that they should abide by.

However, I cannot imagine how even the Florida Kangaroo Court could allow flagrant violations of the Rules which govern litigation.

IMHO, Bush's attorney's are (besides trying to do their best to not have Terri's law ruled unconstitutional), at the very least, trying to make sure that EACH AND EVERY Florida Rule of Civil Procedure will be mentioned to support EACH AND EVERY request/demand in their pleadings/motions. In addition, I believe they will do an excellent job in citing EVERY POSSIBLE APPLICABLE CASE LAW to support their requests/demands (i.e. evidentiary hearing/discovery). The purpose: to set Greer up FOR APPEAL on each and every Order he issues that goes against case law and the Rules. (And IMHO, Bush's attorney did this from the get go.)

Easy. Results-based judging.

Yup. It is possible to win against a biased, corrupt, or inept trial-court judge but it requires lots of advance preparation. Unfortunately, it's very expensive to take such preparations which may or may not be necessary. The situation is akin to having a fortress with 50 entrances and 49 guards; one clever thief will be enough to get past all 49 guards.
