TALLAHASSEE - The Florida Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Gov. Charlie Crist must fill a Central Florida appeals court opening from the original list of six nominees and can't reject the names because he wanted a more diverse slate of candidates. The governor had demanded more racial diversity last December when he rejected a list of six white lawyers to fill a vacancy on the Fifth District Court of Appeal based in Daytona Beach. The vacancy was created by the December retirement of Judge Robert Pleus of Windermere.

I guess he likes Sotomayer too since they share a bend toward reverse discrimination. My mild disgust of him is taking a sharp turn toward outright hatred. I wish he would just go ahead and officially change parties.

Crist is in every inch of the word a “back door leftist”...

[wiggen]

its one thing to be a rino. this is way beyond

[Dysart]

officially change parties panties.

Crist is a Judas to the Republican party. Do us a favor and eat some bad Tuna Charlie.

[NautiNurse]

The GOP is foisting Crist as their U.S. Senate nominee from Florida prior to a primary. Expect Crist to introduce legislation mandating racial quotas for judicial appointments.

The world's gone upside down...

Were the six best qualified submitted? That should be the end of the discussion. Nobody criticizes the NBA when all five starters look alike; it is assumed that they are the best combination available. Why does that not hold true in other endeavors?

OOPS! I forgot: < /rhetorical question >

You can’t let that whole “content of character” thing get in the way you know !

Crist=transgender in waiting.

Charlie is working hard to lose the primary.

[Iron Munro]

Another "progressive" mole poorly disguised as a RINO who has finally come out of the closet.

Oh! You bad boy! I can hardly wait until I get to DC.

[counterpunch]

And he wants to be the next Republican senator from Florida.

[Popman]

I’m still at a loss as to how he got elected Governor.

As a Floridian, I am as well.

I had hoped he might be politically: conservative light.

Instead he is just light in the loafers and a raging flaming RINO to boot.

Can't wait to vote against him in the primary

[hoosierham]

Nobody criticizes the fact that today'sNBA starters look alike.

BTTT

Jeez Christ, Have you ever seen a white judge in a Hollywood production? It strikes me that black judges are over-represented and suit should be brought against the studios.

Whoa!! That is no stink eye. Reminds me of when Al Gore swapped tongues with Tipper at the convention. Blecchh!
