What brings pride to some people. And this is the most "conservative" on the Florida Supreme Court? Dr. Jack Kervorkian is proud of his life work of death and Ted Bundy was proud of his body count.

.........................................

TALLAHASSEE | Raoul Cantero III, the first Hispanic to serve on the Florida Supreme Court and one of its most conservative members, said Friday he is resigning in September for personal reasons.

~Snip~

Cantero said Friday that his most memorable case was the 2004 ruling that struck down a law Bush had rushed through the Legislature in an attempt to keep brain-damaged Terri Schiavo alive. In an opinion written by Justice Barbara Pariente the justices ruled the law unconstitutionally attempted to reverse lower court decisions permitting the removal of the woman's feeding tube. With the tube removed, Schiavo died.

"It was a proud moment for us that we were able to reach a unanimous decision," Cantero said. "We were able to work through the issues dispassionately."...........

Looking worse for Florida! If the guy who left was conservative, what is in store?

....................................

Gov. Charlie Crist will make one of his most historic decisions as he considers a selection to replace Supreme Court Justice Raoul Cantero.

~Snip~

It seems likely Crist will be provided a list of candidates favorable to his moderate views. He appointed three of the JNC’s nine members – Jason Unger, Robert Hackleman and Howard Coker. Hackleman is a lawyer with Gunster Yoakley & Stewart, the firm whose new chairman is George LeMieux, Crist’s former campaign manger and chief of staff.....................

Jeb picked Cantero. I wonder why Cantero’s really leaving. He’s quite young for a judge to leave such a lucrative position.

It's mid-morning here, and reading this makes me glad I skipped breakfast.

I will never understand how anyone who had any part, however small, in murdering, yes, MURDERING, an innocent disabled woman, can feel pride in not trying to do something to stop what was an execution, one that if it had been carried out on a domestic animal would have warranted the owner a felony conviction in many places.

Cantero, and the others like him who had a part in this, will have to answer in another life for their actions and non-actions, and I doubt that a plea of lack of knowledge of all the facts, or the necessity of returning an unanimous verdict will mitigate the guilt for Terri's murder.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.
