But the laws that allow food and drink to be considered extraordinary measures are Florida state laws. The laws that let hearsay be used in lieu of living wills are Florida state laws.
And the people in Pinellas County reelected Greer even after the first attempt to kill Terri.
Something about that state makes me wonder about the outlook of the people who live there...
The election laws forbid his opponent from making any mention of that. They also forbid Greer from claiming or implying endorsements from another judge, the sheriff, and various other people. Of course, Greer knows such laws were made for paeons and not for kings like him, so he ignored them.
When you elect your judges, are you able to get information regarding all of their prior cases as well as seeing into the future on how they will rule in years to come? When I try to research candidates for the bench I find precious little information on what these judges stand for.
Are you aware of every law that your state legislature passes? If you are, then you are extraordinary because the average person doesn't follow these things that closely. They elect politicians according to the party they're affiliated with, and trust that these people will represent their views. Sadly, that's not always the case. It wasn't until this weekend that I learned about our state's law regarding hearsay and living wills. How many other Floridians really knew about this and would have approved of it? Still, the representatives from my district have been strongly supporting the fight to save Terri, as have many from districts all over Florida.
As I understand it, the bill they are currently trying to pass would put an end to this hearsay nonsense.
Sorry, but I am just so tired of Floridians being painted with a broad brush every time anything goes wrong. Since the majority of Americans are buying into Schiavo's lies, it's obviously not just Floridians who have an "outlook" worth questioning.
