  i wish too that all would not hide but state who they are. lets be practical, many lawyers are afraid of the clan and can u blame them, when u have a chief judge that doesn't even get investigated for rape after an attorney accuses him under oath of rape and in fear of her life. u fight battles the best way u can and if u have to do it by being anonymous well at least ur in the battle more than i can say for cowards.

  DOWN GOES ROSS!!!!!

  DOWN GOES ROSS…DOWN GOES ROSS….
  
  BREAKING BLOG NEWS: OUR BRETHREN BLOG IN BROWARD (SAY THAT 5 TIMES FAST) HAS TAKEN DOWN A CHIEF JUDGE:
  
  NIXON RESIGNS…ROSS RESIGNS…..
  
  Here is the text of the announcement:
  
  After much reflection and soul searching, maybe it's time to be a real judge again. It is my intent not to serve the new Chief Judge term to completion. I'll call for a special election for Tuesday, July 3, 2007 to fill an anticipated un-expired term beginning September 4, 2007 through June 30, 2009.
  
  The last couple of years have been particularly difficult for me and my family. In July I am having my hips replaced and will be out for a while.
  
  For these reasons and others, [umm...like Judges calling people less than human, like Judges belittling people for not speaking English?) but primarily because of my love for our circuit, I think a new Chief Judge should lead us forward.
  
  It's appropriate that I take the summer to try to help with an orderly transition.
  [I'll give North of the Border this: we don't have to wear a tie in court during the summer.]
  I am particularly proud of this circuit and its personnel, who have labored so hard to make it the best in Florida . [Pardon me. I'm choking. I also just fell out of my chair. Blatant disregard for reality tends to have that effect on me.]
  
  Our circuit has accomplished a number of "firsts" and has been very aggressive and pro-active in serving the people of the State of Florida . I extend my appreciation to our Administrative Judges (past and present) whose valuable advice and hard work made my job so much easier. ... I truly love being a judge and public servant. [Not to mention the kick you get out of humiliating litigants and lawyers you don't like]. To quote Bob Hope, "thanks for the memories," it's been special.
  Dale Ross, Chief Judge
  [To quote someone else: Don't let the door hit you on the way out.]
  
  Rumpole says: Thanks for the memories….(not). I cannot remember one time I appeared before that Judge that he did not treat me and my client rudely, made mention of my office being located in Miami, and made my client feel he/she made a grievous mistake in hiring a lawyer from Miami. Good riddance.

  Jeff - your readers cannot read the article on the link provided. The text is too small. I think you should print the article on the main page because it's so damn funny! This guy writes like a bad Marvel Comics book writer!

  This Blackberry idea is going to revolutionize the behavior of some of these judges. Maybe they'll start acting like judges and not like bullies.
