The information regarding Judge Greer's disability is not intended for the purpose of promoting bias. This information is relevant, like it or not. What is not relevant is commentary about how judges weigh their evidence. (Which was inaccurately described in a previous revision.) This suggests that the information regarding Judge Greer being legally blind should be discounted and not be considered as significant. Is it possible that blind people (or others with disabilities) can be can be effective judges? Yes. In fact there are other accomplished judges who are blind. I have been in the courtroom of one such judge. Frankly, whether or not blind people can make effective judges is not the question. That would more appropriately be addressed in another article about people with disabilities. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disabled) Is it possible to include additional clarifying information to provide perspective without diminishing other legitimate information about Judge Greer? Yes, I have done so in the latest revision. I have noted that blindness does not disqualify one to act as a judge, nor should it. The fact that this judge has critics and that they have expressed their concerns is also relevant.
So, are we just going to bash the "hostile" view towards Greer in this page? I think he deserves it! Because of him, a helpless, innocent lady (who DID want to live) was mercilessly killed! I can't believe all we can do is defend Greer!

On 2 April 2005, this article was nominated for deletion. The result was keep. See Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/George Greer for a record of the discussion. – AB CD 20:39, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
This bio [1] has nothing in it that indicates that he's a conservative or even described himself as a conservative. In reading on Greer, I see that label "conservative" appears to apply only to give the impression that his decisions in the Schiavo case were motivated by a conservative judicial philsophy which is an unsupported point of view these articles push.
I propose to remove the conservative label and will do so unless it can be shown here how he merits this label. patsw 13:16, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
Would the following be noteable?

Looks like someone put some links to some POV websites on this page. This page is about Greer, people, not Schiavo. Thank you.-- Dr.michael.benjamin 05:11, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
