judge greer was supposed to protect Terri, but right from the beginning he wanted her to die.

Yes, and George W. Bush, as president, also could have saved Terri. Bushes are afraid of a fight.
No more Bushes in politics, especially the White House. We need fighters, not wimps.
She was the first American citizen in history to be given a death sentence in a civil court case. There was nothing civil about all the years the culture of death kept trying to kill her until they scored a touchdown with the help of Greer and the RINOS. Dems didn't need to get involved at all. There were dems who were appalled tho.
