Here's an article on Greer.
He's a Republican, was just recently re-elected.
He's a Baptist, a member of a large Southern Baptist church in Clearwater. He was a deacon in the church, but evidently has had a falling out with the church (wonder why, end/sarcasm)

Thanks.
Undoubtedly all that is true. Regardless he really screwed the pooch on his rulings. They are so consistently bad that I wonder if it incompetence or deliberate.
Since "they" don't do that, this is pretty serious stuff.
