So very sorry to hear the bad news this am in Australia, prayers for Terri and your brave nation, I don't believe all Americans can be judged guilty for something that happens in Florida, Felos and Greer must be brought to account. Greer was instructed by Congress to re-hear the case anew, that was my understanding. The fact that he did not do so, places him in contempt of Congress, does it not?

Thank you.

In theory, he's in hot water, but I fear our alleged "representatives" have become toothless... I suspect they will try to forget about this and hope everyone else does, too.

I still believe Americans, and America, are basically good. What we have is a rogue Judiciary coupled with a failure of leadership- in part fueled by polls which were biased from the start. Of course, the more telling thing about this is that true leaders don't govern by polling results- they do what's right, and hope the voters come to see that next time around.

For me, this is the opening of a long, new war of activism-- term limits, more accountability for Judges at every level, more safeguards for the disabled ( my late first wife was among that group- it's personal for me. ) and an unquenchable fire of hostility toward the Euth Movement and its acolytes. I am even mulling over the idea that we need to eliminate our, ahem! "representatives" and go to a direct vote. With restrictions, of course, like being a taxpayer or landholder. Up or down, win or lose, and at least laws and regulations proposed would have to be clear and simple enough for the average voter to understand. No more 3,000 bills that nobody reads, no-one fully understands, and burdened with riders that have nothing to do with the proposed law.

It's a damned shame a helpless woman had to be killed to get everyone's attention, but I believe this will have profound repercussions that no-one can fully predict.
