It would be a waste of time and taxpayers' money since Greer has technically done nothing illegal and would most assuredly survive any serious impeachment inquery on that basis.

Impeachment in the FL judiciary may not hinge on legality, but competence.

In which case, the only thing standing in the way of impeachment is politics.

Even if an impeachment inquiry was based upon questions of technical and legal competence, he would still survive it since his rulings have in fact stood through the Appeals and Supreme Court levels. Impeach him, and theoretically you would have to impeach them all. And it would still be a waste of time and taxpayers money since nothing would come of it...

That's a problem. Technically, a judge can be impeached for any "reason". The mechanism is a vote. But I would like to see a statement in state and (we can only hope) Federal Constitutions saying that any judge can be impeached for bad decisions.

Of course, accepting hearsay testimony is enough for me.
