Then how does Judge Greer (from the cited article) get off ordering "Each and every one of the 72 Sheriffs in the State of Florida to enforce this order."?

Doesn't the State of Florida understand the concept of "Separation of Powers"?

There's something far more serious than that here. The state law is supreme, and trumps local laws. If those police officers obstructed state officials from enforcing state law, they have violated state law. Local cops don't necessarily understand things like that, but every state has a Supremacy Clause just as the Constitution does.

What really happened here is that Bush got his reason to go in there with real force. Those cops are technically in rebellion against the State of Florida right now.

The judiciary is convinced that they're the only power that counts, and apparently they've got the dutiful sheeple brainwashed into believing it. If we don't take these dictators down now, next time, instead of starving one woman to death, they may hand down a more efficient and cost effective way of disposing of lots of inconvenient people "helping" lots of people die at one time, and they will pat themselves on the back over what a wonderful thing they're doing. And the lawyers will shout: "Amen!"
