NUMBER "32" has been disqualified due to excessive length of name.

No..you mean number 30.

Did number 6 legally change his name to a business entity..very sleek!

Chris Nielson (PA) is a douchebag.
He shouldn't be a judge at the County Fair for Best Pig. Oh wait, given his appearance and personality, he may actually be qualified to judge pigs.

what a motley bunch

Why does it not suprise me that Hurley has four names?
Reply to this
Hey if the ADJ goes to the McMansion, does hurley go to the McStarbucks if he gets it?
Reply to this
The JNC shouldn't have put Jay Hurley's name so far down the list: I almost had a heart attack thinking he wasn't on there.
Reply to this
Jim Wells all the way. The lawyer's lawyer. Sorry Jay.
Reply to this
Richard Sachs would be a great choice. No question about it.
Reply to this
can we have an intelligent discussion here?
Out of these 32, can we make a list of the 5 or 10 best choices and the 5 or 10 worst choices.
I know most of these people, but I have no idea who some of the others are.
Why doesn't someone put up a brief bio of each person so we can know who these people are?
Reply to this
why do people who have been rejected by the voters think they should be appointed. Moselle, DiIoia... the voters said no. now go away.

John Matthew Brooks "Jay" "friend of the governor" Hurley or just call him "your honor"
Reply to this
Good for you Kenny G. A well liked prosecutor, worked for EEOC, an effective general magistrate. I don't know anyone who has a bad thing to say about him.
Reply to this
Monique - you go girl!!
Reply to this
Of the people I know:
Top 5: Moselle, Brown, Wells, Gillespie, Francios
Bottom 5: Hurley, Zager, Hurley, Zager, Pole
Reply to this
At least DiLoia, Moselle and Neilson got off their ass and tried to make a difference. What about the rest of you cry babies what have you done?
Reply to this
It's ridiculous if people are actually going to put Chris Pole in the bottom five. He should definitely be in the list of six sent to the Governor.
Reply to this
Top smarts, temperment & Genuine would be Moselle or Brown ! Of course that is not considered in this selection process.
Reply to this
I came up with five I think are highly qualified. I gave a lot of weight to judicial temperament. They are in alphabetical order:
Bill Haury, Mike Hursey, Jorge Hurtado, Jim Wells and Gerry Williams.
I would note that it is okay for the Governor to appoint his friends and those who helped his campaign, as long as they are qualified and won't embarass him. I don't think Jay Hurley is qualified and I do think he would embarass the Governor.
Reply to this
Jay Hurley helped the Governor get elected and has been his friend for a long time. He may not get appointed and you may not like him, but there is NO WAY that he would disappoint or embarass his brother, Charlie Crist.

the judges claim that they are under paid........ then why so many others want the part time opportunity to schmooze....... brenda Ioia is tainted by her loyalty to corrupt rhonda hollander of RESOLUTIONS,INC.
Reply to this
Zager?! Is he serious? He better give up. Couldn't make it as a defense atty b/c of his piss-poor attitude towards people, now he thinks he can bring that nasty attitude to the bench?! Enough. Give up!
That tool - I kicked his ass so bad once (claiming the cops planted the evidence), that he refused to give up. Even wanted the jury polled.
F-in douche.
Reply to this
I have never had an issue with Joseph (don't call me Joe) Zager. Was a half-way decent ASA, but flopped in private practice, and had to fall back to being an ASA again.
No way he's qualified for the bench though. Not by a freaking long shot.
Sorry Joe -- no go.
Reply to this
To RS86.......Sounds like you agree with me that Hurley is not qualified to be a judge.
Reply to this
Definitely qualified for County Court.
Reply to this
My considered top 4 and bottom 4.
Top 1. Ken Gillespie
2. Jim Wells
3. Chris Pole
4. Robin Moselle
Bottom
1. J. Hurley
2. Joseph Zager
3. Monique Brochu
4. Brenda DiIoia

#30 should be disqualified for numerous other reasons.
Reply to this
why are you apologizing to jay? trust me, he is NOT the lawyer's lawyer. i don't know who's lawyer he is...but he's definitely not the lawyer's lawyer.
Reply to this
what moron isn't qualified?
Reply to this
Hey, Brenda, still busting out windows of married men? Cry me a river and then disappear from public life before your past catches up with you.

The guys in my high school would know when to stop running. Even they knew when enough was enough.

Most of these clowns should hang it up. Are they all afraid of a little work?
Reply to this
why these clowns want this position:
#1 pay increase
#2 power trip
#3 did i mention, huge pay increase for most (double current salary)
#4 beaten up as small children, now went revenge on the world
#5 want the world to revolve around them and their schedule
#6 20 hour work week (not a big change for some)
#7 opens up a whole new dating world
#8 people have to listen to their endless, mindless banter
#9 insecure insecure insecure
#10 everyone has to be nice to them, despite the fact that they can't stand them.

Nadine G. would be great! Besides , I think a black female judge might restore some faith in the system.
Reply to this
whose window?
Reply to this
Phoebe Francois--great lawyer (!). She absolutely will not return a phone call and is very likely to fail to show up for a properly scheduled hearing
Reply to this
Your top 10 may be the reasons YOUD choose to put in for judge, but I doubt you know all the people on the list or their reasons for putting in for the job.
Please praytell give us your list of people you'd want to put in for judge. Give us a list of 10 people who would do it and do it for what you deem to be the "right reasons". And then ask yourself why they choose not to put in for judge.
Unless you can give us real alternatives (good candidates who'd actually want the job but choose not to put in), you have no basis to bash everyone else.
