Lawless Bench-Warmer

From Michael Peroutka's website:

On May 5, the West Pasco Bar Association "honored" the career of George Greer, the Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge who ordered the starvation murder of Terri Schiavo.

During a banquet at the Heritage Springs Golf And Country Club in Trinity, Florida, Greer was given a "Special Justice Award" for, in part, what the "Tampa Tribune" newspaper called "his handling of the emotionally and politically charged Schiavo case." It is said that when Greer got his award, he received a one-minute standing ovation.

Commenting approvingly on this award, 2nd District Court of Appeals Judge Morris Silberman says: "What Judge Greer did, and what judges in general do, is they look for guidance in the law, and they come up with the best answers they can within the law."

This article also quoted Greer as saying: "My oath is to follow the law, and if I can't follow the law, I need to step down."

So git ta steppin'. What law did this guy follow? The Bias Against Life Law? He ignored almost every aspect of the case that didn't strengthen his pro-death agenda. Is there a law in the Florida or U.S. constitution that states: "The right of an innocent woman to be euthanized like a dying dog by her husband shall not be infringed."? I must've missed that one. Is there a biblical mandate for such an action? "Thou shalt kill any person who does not retain the quality of life deemed fit for them by their spouse." I don't remember learning that all-important commandment in Sunday school, nor can I find it in my Bible.

So to what "law" is this ghoul referring?
