I doubt Congress will do anything to him. Though it might make some here feel good, politically I think it would be a colossal mistake. The MSM would make it look like Congress was being vindictive, lordly, overpowering, etc., and generally crucify them for it. IMHO the greater good is to pour massive money into getting this guy voted out in 2010 (when the acrimony will have died down and the libs won't be able to crucify us for it) and, in the shorter term, to use this as an example for getting Bush's judicial nominations in (read: nuclear option). In the very short term, there is no reason why there can't be an immediate call for state laws to be restructured to always "err on the side of life". That can and should be our clarion call.
I see Congress letting this one go for now, but this judge can forget about GOP support next time around. I see Bush moving onto SS reform just long enough for a news cycle and then dropping the hammer on judicial nominations (I'd guess come June). The really important thing is to make sure that the MSM can't use this whole episode to paint us as religious whack-jobs (and, to be blunt, some people aren't frelling helping in that regard). We're already taking a beating from the reporting (would someone please smack that moron who tried to rob the gun store? Do any other idiots out there want to do something stupid (violent) and make us look worse than we already do?)
A state constitutional amendment in Florida would be the cleanest way to go.
The media would have a hayday bashing Bush and Congress if they held Greer in contempt - I think I heard somewhere that Greer had immunity from that anyway, but I'm not sure why. But the press would portray Congress as you said, vindictive, lordly, overpowering, etc. - in other words, everything the COURTS are.
And, if this case does not get the Republican Senators off their collective rear ends to get Bush's judicial nominees through, then nothing will. We have to stay on their case, and I just hope and pray they do go the so-called nuclear option as the courts are out of control. This fiasco must never happen again.
I know what you mean about the crazies and fanatics and nutjobs who make us look bad, as the press eats that up and loves to paint us all as religious wackos, and it really infuriates me. We never get good press anyway in the MSM and that just reinforces stereotypes of a bunch of religious right-wing loonies.
