Great. Another "candidate" bursting on to the scene c/o Bill Gelin and JAABlog.
May your candidacy last longer than Manicni's.
Hey Bill. I thought you were "media". So your parenthetical at the end means you had this information in your pocket and decided not to release it until "everyone knows already".
SOUNDS LIKE REAL MEDIA TO ME.
CAN WE CALL YOUR SCOOP OR IS IT SCOOPED?
Interesting that JAAB and Gelin take an interest in ousting recently elected minority judges. I find that very interesting and telling.
Whatever happened to going after the establishment and trying to take down the powerful judges? Instead, your collective efforts have attacked two judges that have been on the bench collectively 4 years, and are actually well liked.
It just doesn’t make sense, why Pedro? There has not been one discouraging word on this blog about him – which in all honesty is amazing. Judges are routinely trashed and most are up for re-election – so why go after Pedro – he has no power and is one of the few that works hard.
All the huffing and puffing about change on this blog is just bull. It’s not about change – its about putting people in you want regardless of who you take out. Same goes for Julio – hard working, likable and minority. These two judges were part of the change – also both previous defense attorneys and willing to listen to arguments.
The opportunity was there to run against a judge that made disparaging comments about homosexuals and is routinely rough to deal with – instead you simply bent over – really pitiful.
I for one encourage everyone to back Pedro – not because Bober is not a good candidate – but because of this crap plan and what it stands for – the attack of the neophyte minority judges – I for one am embarrassed – JAAB and Gelin don’t stand for change -they stand for attacking minorities and are only interested in their personal gain.
If people just vote to vote and not research who's name they're putting in office, you all deserve what you get.
NO MORE WHINING
I have never had a problem with Dijols or Gonzales... in my past 28 years of practice only 2% of the time have I ever had a problem with the Bench any place or any time
4:37 - what did they have to do with it? Dijols alienated all his former colleagues. You say this:
"he has no power and is one of the few that works hard"
I think you must mean one of the few that worked extra hard at being a jerk. And in the post Ross world to boot. He made his own bed now he sleeps in it for exercising poor judgement and no self control.
I love that Bober is the best you can come up with -
Unlike 4:37 -I see why you would go after neophyte minorities - my eyes are wide open.
I wish the anti-judge gang would unite and run the real problem out of town - Mike Satz. Play musical robes all you want. Until Satz goes the judges will continue to kow tow to him and nothing will change.
If you think there's racism here then the State Attorney is the problem, not the judges.
I agree with Lady Justice about Gonzalez. He is a great judge and a gentleman. Judge "consecutive sentences" Dijols is clearly a problem though. I hope they run him out of town.
going from being a criminal defense lawyer to judge just sucks. If you don't give away the Courthouse to the crininal defense guys your screwed and if you are pro state you are screwed as well.
I'm sure if Satz was a minority and recently re-elected they could find someone to run against him.
To Satz's case filers - please ignore these anti satz posts - I for one want more cases filed - The holidays are coming and I could use a litte extra change in my pocket.
I love how the never challenge a sitting judge crowd plays the race card.What a bunch of slime bags. Face reality - NO MORE FREE LIFETIME RIDES IN BROWARD FOR PROSECUTOR JUDGES.
By the way, DO YOU TRULY BELIEVE DIJOLS IS A FRIEND TO THE MINORITY COMMUNITIES?
Who cares lets talk about something more important -
Who is the hottest girl in the courthouse?
"going from being a criminal defense lawyer to judge just sucks"
Come on, this guy was a prosecutor before becoming a lazy spd defense lawyer. It's in his blood and he can't seem to control his prosecutorial bent.
that dark straight haired PD - what's her name - she's smokin
Funny how one Hollywood political machine has been replaced by another.
saranell or the red haired girl in gonzalez who used to be in lebow that looks a little like lindsay lohan
I'm in for Heather from Satz's office in CCU - when she gets angry - its hot!
jackie the pd from williams division or lebows daughter
Speaking of Jackie how about Horowitz JA?
Catalina is Muy Cailente!
Bernie rocks!
I agree that Lebow's daughter is hot - must mean that her dad is good looking because mom...hmmm not so much.
P.S. a grumpy and whiney personality does not work well with...hmmm not so much
TRACHMAN!!!!!!!
Cathy Cuthen is soooo hot. Can I wear jeans on monday and friday now?
What happened to dumping on Dijols? This is an anti judge website. Besides, everyone knows Vanessa is the hottest.
GOOD LUCK BERNIE!
Tutor looks very vulnerable...is anybody going up against him?
Someone should run against Tom Lynch. He may raise money but the right name can beat him easy. His son only got a few hundred votes when he recently ran for a Hollywood position, indicative of Tom's hometown support.
Tobin's up in 2008 too
which vanessa? both are pretty hot - didn't one of them get married recently - too bad
Just in case you didn't know, Bernie Bober is also hispanic; He was born in Cuba. This is not a case of someone trying to unseat a hispanic judge and replace him with a non hispanic. He is also very dedicated, hardworking, and a very qualified attorney. I wish him the best, and hope he wins.
