Altonaga’s first judge appointment- County in FL was by Lawton Chiles,D-Gov of FL the “he coon” hisself (a machine democrat). Then she was elevated to circuit judge by JEB! Bush, Gov, then GW Bush.

Cuban, Yale Law (and it’s the Yale thing that is that “club” even for a Cuban woman. The club tried to take Cannon off the case— because of Dade County/FL politics, fairly certain. Altonaga has handled some heavy duty cases (Drug wars Carribean stuff. Miami is full of this, like some movie. Less so now- only more sophisticated).
