Meanwhile, FBI agents have arrested a North Carolina man on suspicion of soliciting offers over the internet to kill Michael Schiavo and Greer. Richard Alan Meywes of Fairview is accused of offering $250,000 for the killing of Schiavo and another $50,000 for the "the elimination of the judge who ruled against Terry."

Meywes was arrested without incident at his home around 5 p.m. Friday on charges of solicitation of murder and transmission of a threatening communication via interstate commerce, authorities said.

If convicted, Meywes could face up to 15 years in prison and up to $500,000 in fines. He is expected to make an initial court appearance Monday in U.S. District Court in Asheville, North Carolina.

Greer has been under 24-hour protection by two U.S. marshals due to increased threats against his life by those unhappy with his handling of the Schiavo case.

Looking more and more like '30s Germany, isn't it? But maybe, just maybe, with a much stronger foundation of Constitutional governance than Germany had, we can pull back from the abysss... And Reid's judo-like move of using the enemy's strength to destroy him is looking better all the time. The rock that's covered the Republican base is really being lifted for the first time, and people don't like the critters they see.

It will be interesting to see the coverage this story gets on the weekend. A real good test for "that liberal media," eh?
