How long till the Bushes violate Posse Comitatus and send in the Troops?

[Sandpiper]

This whole episode has shown to anyone paying attention that the Bush boys absolutely think they are above the law.

How long before uniformed military is employed to help the Bush boys get their way on a domestic issue?

[woodsprite]

1. First they'll have to recruit some more, since alot are in Iraq. n/t

[HockeyMom]

2. King George and Prince Jebby

[wtmusic]

3. They're going to learn they're not above the law

This is sweeeeet. Could this be the "turning point"?

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. they have overreached

but the more propper qusetion is this a Fort Sumter event?

[HereSince1628]

16. Clearly it's an overreach, I wondered about civil unrest...but

the desire to keep this out of politics is large and broad apparently throughout the country. I don't think this is a Ft. Sumter event.

If there is a secessionist movement it might be in theGOP.

Coming on the heels of the failed 2005 SS reform tour went this must hurt. The Bushistas are not only looking out of touch, they are looking vulnerable.

6. Jeb's press conference clearly threatened intervention

The lady from state services explicitly stated that they have the authority to do something.

So, I guess the question is, is Jeb going to back off? If so, what was the purpose of the press conference? Will Jeb lose face?

I hope he ends up getting impeached!

4. Judge Greer acted first

by ordering law enforcement to prevent entry of Jeb & Co. to the hospice.

7. How long before Greer is removed from office or is

found shot to death in his home? You know there are nutters out there right now considering ways to eliminate the "activist" judge.

I'll apologize in advance if this offends anyone - but I'm pretty sure Greer has already received death threats.

[kliljedahl]

9. He has

My question to Freepers is, You mean the same type of "activist judges" who appointed * in 2000?

11. Greer was asked to no longer attend his church.

So far, that's all I know. I hear that Michael Schiavo has received death threats.

[rkc3]

12. I saw that too. At least the BTK Killer's church let him stay.

Stupid fuckers.

[NYC]

13. That's true, isn't it?

What a contrast.

[rkc3]

15. Paints a pretty picture of organized religion, don't it.

21. Looks like Greer resigned.

Judge George Greer...has withdrawn his membership at Calvary Baptist Church in Clearwater, Fla...

...Rice, who became Calvary’s pastor last September, confirmed that a letter from Greer withdrawing his longstanding membership was received by the church March 17.

Rice...said he sent a letter to Greer several days after the judge commented about his church involvement in a front-page article in the St. Petersburg Times March 6.

...Rice said, “We communicated about his relationship with the church and his public statements that he had withdrawn from the church and statements that he had made in the paper about his relationship with the church..."

Rice...offered to meet with Greer but instead received the judge’s letter withdrawing his membership.

...(Greer's) attendance faltered after a Baptist publication the church supported became highly critical of him, he said.

“Greer, who said he had other unrelated problems with the church, said he explained to a deacon, ‘If I don’t like what the St. Pete Times writes about me, my only recourse is to cancel my subscription.’ So he stopped his donations to the church, though he is still a member.”

The publication Greer was referring to is the Florida Baptist Witness, newsjournal of the Florida Baptist State Convention, which first editorialized about the Schiavo case in September 2003 and since has carried several editorials and an extended number of breaking news stories and in-depth reports about the right-to-life case that has generated national and international attention in recent months...

20. Ha! what happened to FORGIVENESS??

What a bunch of fucking hypocrites. Get an after-life.

[NYC]

22. My mistake. Go read post #20.

Greer resigned, but it looks like he was "criticized out".

[FreedomAngel82]

24. That poor man

All this misinformation out about him is so awful. If I was him I'd sue every freakin one of them.

[NYC]

25. Greer or Schiavo?

Maybe both of them ought to sue.

(I mean Michael Schiavo, not his wife.)

[tammywammy]

19. He has body guards

I think he's had them for years now, since he gets so many threats.

[FreedomAngel82]

23. Good for him!

I hope that judge is safe!

[Mistress Quickly]

8. Like Elian Gonzalez?

[Freddie Stubbs]

10. It will happen on April 31 and involve

the Lt. Governor of New Jersey.

[NYC]

14. Why the Lt. Gov. of New Jersey?

?

[Freddie Stubbs]

17. It has to do with the date...

[NYC]

18. Okay.
