“My job is to follow the law: not to agree with the law, but to follow it,” Greer said. He told the paper his conscience is not bothered, even when he disagrees with the law. “That’s how our system operates,” he said. “At my level, I just do what the law tells me to do. That’s what I’m supposed to do. That’s my oath.” To do otherwise, Greer said, would be judicial activism and make him “one of those activist judges that the conservatives think are so bad.”

True.

Florida’s state constitution says "All natural persons, female and male alike, are equal before the law and have inalienable rights, among which are the right to enjoy and defend life and liberty, to pursue happiness...No person shall be deprived of any right because of race, religion, national origin, or physical disability."

Yep...this judge picks and chooses which laws he wants to follow. Why is no one with clout doing anything to challenge him on this?
