In a way it is scary to think how they would have continued and expanded their powers even more if the public like us hadn't started noticing and bringing it into the open.

But judges are elected. By the people. Answerable to the people. How the likes of Greer & Co have stayed in office is beyond all comprehension.

>> But judges are elected.

Some are, some aren't. Either way, once in power, they are subject to the Iron Law stated by Lord Acton: Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

The DSS bureaucrats in this case are power-drunk. Imagine them ordering Haleigh's mother not to say a word about her own daughter's medical condition!

When the Gov. of Florida overlooks a crooked campaign by Judge Greer, that's how Greer stayed in office.

Quote from Jeb: "The citizens of Pinellas County had their chance to vote for a new judge, but they did not. We must respect their choice."

60,000 voters voted against Greer but his opponent ran a campaign that was violation free. GREER CHEATED HIS SORRY BEHIND OFF AND THE PINELLAS GOP helped him. and the Sheriff, the Public Defender and the Prosecutor, and even Deborah Clarke, the Supervisor of Elections, the JQC and FEC looked the other way.

If you want corrupt, Pinellas County is where to look.

It appears Senator Mel Martinez is a new member of the culture of death. Shame on him. And, I bet he's Catholic too. Bay news nine interviewed him this morning but the interview was by St. Pete Times' Adam Smith. Notice who links it here, a sleeper troll.
