So when is my opinion intentionally misleading? You are intentionally misleading, since I did not intend that and you overtly put "words in my mouth". I expressed an opinion. I still think tha t he was essentially fired. He requested to stay on. He was denied after, Michael Schiavo fought the GAL's opinion and called him biased. I did not say he was fired. I used the word essentially for a reason. Now you may not like my opinion, but guess what? SO WHAT? I'm sincerely tired of discussing this with you when you have such an attitude. So have at it with someone else. The law clearly states "right to counsel". Terri did not have counsel when the Judge ordered her to be killed. END OF STORY.
When it posits something that doesn't exist, that's when. Come on now - "fired" is a binary state. Either you're fired, or you're not, but "essentially fired" is just weaseling. And I notice you didn't address what the lawyer was supposed to have done in the situation you presented as one where a lawyer would have made a difference.
