And DON'T FORGET to FREEP the NJ Dems at:

[Rome2000]

Vote out the Florida Supreme Court Kangaroos.

[Amore]

The fact that Former Justice Kogan called Anstead "one of the finest justices we've ever had" is absolutely all you need to know about Harry Anstead. Kogan loves him because Anstead is pretty much a mirror image of Kogan -- especially when it comes to overturning death penalty sentences.

[Amore]

I'm going to say it again. I strongly recommend that people not vote against Wells. He's the most conservative judge we've had on the court in quite a while. Wells is the best, and Anstead is the worst. Concentrate on ousting Anstead!

[gitmo]

How cool! One can only hope ...

[inflorida]

Thanks for posting this! It is so important that all Republicans never forget this and vote out Anstead along with Wells!
Hopefully the admin's don't remove this from breaking news.

[Rome2000]

I'm sure Jeb will appoint a real conservative in place of Wells, not someone who votes a certain way only because he knows he'll soon be facing the voters.

[Recovering_Democrat]

I disagree. They all must go. Wells only dissented after seeing the handwriting on the wall. His first inclination was to allow Al Gore to steal the election. As Chief Justice, wasn't he able to refuse to schedule the case? I say boot him.

[caltrop]

The question isn't what JEB will do. The question is what McBride will do. Let's get rid of Anstead and leave Wells.

[inflorida]

That's what I'm thinking. Even if Wells is a moderate liberal, he's still a danger. I'm willing to take the chance that Jeb will win and then appoint conservative judges.

[Amore]

No, Wells did not have the authority to refuse to hear the case. And, sorry, I don't believe in voting based on a single issue. He's been a very good law & order judge and that's gotten rarer and rarer up there. As for whether a "better" "true conservative" will replace him, don't be so sure. Jeb is restricted in that he has to choose from the candidates the nominating committee sends him. No Republican governor has that great of a track record in appointing conservative judges. Martinez for instance is I think the bonehead who appointed Kogan. And Jeb didn't (but should have) foght for a pick that should have been his alone. Instead, he agreed to co-pick with Chiles, leading to Quince getting the nod, instead of the judge Jeb wanted. I know who a lot of the likely candidates are for any new seat, and I don't see any wonderful choices waiting in the wings.

[inflorida]

Even so the race may be tight, I still think Jeb will win.

[Amore]

I wouldn't call Wells a "moderate liberal" by any stretch of the imagination. He's been a rare voice of reason up there -- with, admittedly, one glaring exception.

[Amore]

Come to think of it, this really is a pointless exercise. The election is almost here and there has been zip, nada, zilch in the way of a campaign to oust the justices. I had hoped there would be much more effort made. I'll bet they'll be retained easily, albeit by a lesser margin than usual. Maybe somewhere in the 60%'s instead of in the usual 70%'s.

[tubebender]

A number of years ago Calif voters fired Chief Justice Rose Bird and her band of revisionist after they over rode every death penalty that came before them.

[jmstein7]

Not quite. If enough of us email these guys, a campaign will be underway in no time:

Oh no. That's awful news. How could they be forgotten!! I pray something will happen to remove them.

I know just where the SCOFLAs belong:

The Sunlove Home for the Intellectually Infirm is tucked away in a secluded corner of Lorong Buangkok, surrounded by lush greenery and accessible only by a narrow dirt road.

[inflorida]

I understand your point but he still was appointed by a democrat and he also voted against Bush during the 2000 election debacle, even if it was only once. The way I see it, he is the lesser of the evils serving on the Florida Supreme Court, but he still needs to go
