Tales from the dark side...

Los Angeles, CA (LifeNews.com) -- Circuit Court Judge George Greer continues to make the rounds on the lecture circuit following his high-profile involvement in the Terri Schiavo case. The judge, who refused to back down from sentencing Terri to a painful 13-day starvation and dehydration death, will be a featured speaker at Loyola Law School Los Angeles in June.

However, this speaking engagement may be worse than the others as Judge Greer will instruct members of the mainstream media in how to report on significant legal stories like the battle over Terri's life.

Helen Valois article from Renew America...

As we repeat, "We will not be silent. We are your bad conscience. The White Rose will give you no rest."

Last July, a number of UWEC Resident Assistants (RAs) received a letter from the campus administration. One of them, Lance Steiger, realized that the letter's instruction to leave off holding Bible Studies — studies that were voluntarily attended, and organized on the RAs' own time — was discriminatory, and decided to do something about it. He contacted FIRE, a group dedicated to the advancement of authentic academic freedom, something in short supply on today's "pluralistic" college campuses.

The struggle between Steiger and the administration took nine months and a lawsuit it resolve. UWEC's response to FIRE's letter last Fall, spelling out what FIRE considered the Constitutional violations in the administration's position, was met with a strengthening of the administration's anti-Bible study policy. Additionally, the administration sought to hide behind the policy decisions of the UW System as a whole, stating its powerlessness to do anything about the situation unless the whole System made a policy decision first. Sounds familiar, doesn't it — like Harry Blackmun's assertion in Roe that the Court had no competence for deciding when life begins; like Jeb Bush's pathetic hand-wringing in the face of the starvation/dehydration of Terri Schindler-Schiavo. The right to trample upon other people's rights always seems to be coupled with the disavowal of any means of countering this trend.

Snip

So, as I personally happen to know very well, the present expression of the culture wars on campus has been brewing for a long time. One is reminded of the words of the White Rose resistance group in Germany, comprised of a group of students in Munich who lost their lives in speaking out against the National Socialist philosophy and regime. The Scholls and their confreres give us a glimpse of the state of education in a holocaust society in their last leaflet, where they write:...

Have you heard what happened at UW-Eau Claire?

>> "Based on the intense scrutiny and media coverage generated by the Schiavo case, Judge Greer will bring a unique perspective to the journalists in attendance," Loyola said

Greer's "perspective" isn't "unique" among trial lawyers or in insane asylums. It isn't exactly unknown in the journalism biz either.

3227? Now Judge Greer is a MEDIA CONSULTANT? Those Judicial Canons are not worth the paper they're printed on.

The blind sheik greer is going to guide the media to become proficient (as if they need it) on how to help the death worshippers kill more people more easily so he doesn't have to have actual hearings.

DOES JUDGE GREER HAVE COURT CASE ANY MORE? Since he is legally blind, when does he find the time to review cases, consult the media and travel the country, possibly the world on his MAGICAL MYSTERY DEATH TOUR?

Lock him up. www.judgegeorgegreer.com
