And he takes care of his multi-millionaire buddies. He never met a tax cut for the superwealthy, big oil, and big polluters that he didn’t like. Reecently, the SOB voted NO on

Topic of the Day: Vouchers

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

I've been doing lots of Florida Blogging lately, and since the future of Florida's voucher program is about to be dealt a { crushing defeat / enormous victory }, its got me thinking: why do Democrats dislike vouchers so much? I had, honestly, never really thought about it until now. Finally I concluded Democrats just are hopelessly unable to express just why moving public money into private

Topic of the Day: Social Security

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

I've wanted to talk about Social Security for awhile now. John Tierney's column the other day, makes an interesting argument for private accounts. Unfortunately he takes the mother of all logical leaps by merely describing how bad the current system is (ie, what Bush has been successful at doing) and describing how, in a perfect world private accounts would be better (as if, in a perfect world,

Topic of the Day: New Environmentalism

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

I was deciding whether to discuss an old (in blog time) John Tierney column on Social Security or an old (again, in blog time) LA Times article on Environmentalism. Obvious by the title, I chose the latter for now, but mainly because a new post by Ed Kilgore brought up the very same issue.NEW ENVIRONMENTALISMA couple months ago Nicholas Kristof wrote that the current environmental movement needs

Topic of the Day: Gerrymandering

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Articles like this NYTimes editorial on gerrymandering.GERRYMANDERINGPictures speak louder than words, so I'll remain fairly quiet for this post and we'll look at some wonderful Congressional Districts (keep in mind that state legislative

Topic of the Day: Gay Marriage

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

GAY MARRIAGEEd Kilgore is like a political semi-deity:they seem to understand that any chink in the argument that homosexual behavior is a "libertine lifestyle," a mental illness, or a disease, will expose them to a terrible series of moral and even theological dilemmas:For them, the issue isn't one of civil rights, because the term implies something inherent in the individual -- being black, say

Topic of the Day: Freedom and the Future

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

FREEDOM AND THE FUTUREIf you listen to Bush rhetoric, two key concepts arise more than any other. Those two concepts are, as should be obvious by the title of the post, Freedom and the Future. Freedom is the overwhelming justification for the Iraq war, it seems. The Future is the overwhelming justification for Bush's Social Security plan, it seems.I believe most Americans like both concepts

Topic of the Day: Durbin

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Ultimately, the media got lots of ratings with the whole Amnesty Int'l bit and now Durbin is next on the chopping block.My take? When politicians decide to go for imagery over substance, they deserve to take a beating like this. What's furthermore annoying is the fact that his speech

Topic of the Day: Congressional Reform

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Today's Topic of the Day was inspired by Bruce Reed's article ("There's something rotten in Tom DeLay's Washington. Here's how to clean the place up.") in the Blueprint (the primary publication of the center-left Democratic Leadership Council).

From my favorite national blog, election projection website electoral-vote.com:The Democrats are clearly in for bad news in November unless something changes and speeches aren't going to be enough. In particular, if after spending a year trying to get a health-insurance reform bill through Congress, the whole project dies now because the Democrats have only 59 seats in the Senate--a luxury the

Seminole Democrat Endorses Paul Partyka Over Suzanne Kosmas FL-24

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

If Paul Partyka was in Congress instead of Suzanne Kosmas, we would have had one more critical vote for health care reform.The bill that passed the House was not perfect...nor could it be. There are things that I hated about it, such as the Stupak amendment. However, as a Democrat, I never would have allowed opponents to kill the bill and defeat not only our best, but our only chance at reform.

He frankly should have stepped down a long time ago. He is a weak, pathetic leader. I have said repeatedly that I would prefer to have a 55 or 57 Dem Senate with a strong leader like Schumer or Feingold than a 60 majority with a weakling like Reid at the helm. The health care bill will be better than nothing, (which is all the GOP has to offer), but we gave up way more than we should have. It

Well, after what we'll call a long weekend due to some connectivity issues, I'm back and in a especially bloggy mood. So many things to talk about. There's the Supremes, Hillsborough County, and plenty more. But today's NYTimes has the usually unfortunate combination of Krugman and China, so something tells me I'm gonna talk about that first, although I'm in a rare multi-post mood.

Corruption is synonymous with Miami, yet finally Crist has called for a statewide grand jury to examine political corruption. Senator and Seat Warmer George Lemieux has chimed in and decried the "culture of corruption" in South Florida.Maybe they should clean their own house first.Miami Herald:In the past decade, Rothstein -- a Broward lawyer who allegedly bilked investors over bogus legal

Crist Rejects $444 million In Unemployment Help--Raises Taxes On Small Business

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Thanks Charlie! Governor flip-flop, who is desperately trying to show conservatives he is one of them, joined with the Republican legislature and rejected $444 million from the stimulus for unemployment help. All because Charlie appeared with Obama and was given such a hard time about it by his right-wing buddies.Oh, it gets better.Because he and the GOP legislature rejected that needed money,

I can tell you that he would not be accepted as a Democrat by Florida voters and would lose the Dem primary as well.Here's what I do know...Charlie's whole purpose in life is to run for higher office. It's all he

I can't stand the hypocricy. Where were the Tea Party Conservatives when george W. completely erased the budget surplus he inherited from Bill Clinton?He first went on a drunken spending spree in healthcare (Medicare Part D), which was funded ENTIRELY by deficit spending and cost over a trillion dollars. Of course, the new healthcare working its way through is deficit neutral, AND costs less.

Conservatives!! Stop the Lies & Hypocrisy on Health Care Reform!

This started as a comment to a GOPer but I decided to make it a post. First off, STOP LYING! YOU WILL NOT GO TO JAIL if you don't have health insurance!My God, how desperate are you?There will be no death panels, no pulling the plug on grandma, and rest assured that there is nothing in this bill that will destroy the all powerful insurance companies--trust me, you conservatives have ensured

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Tax cuts were given to the superwealthy while the Democrats stood feckless. The GOP wasn't punished in 2004, in fact, they gained seats.Then when they wanted to ram through extremist, unqualified, right-wing psycho judges in 2005, they smacked down the Democrats who

Rabid Democrats run to his side and the centrists tell him to stop his antics.See Daily Kos here.See Bull Moose here.I honestly don't care what Dean says. But it wouldve been nice for him to prove the Sean Hannity's of the

Seems that Joe Biden might be running in '08. Watch the video at C&L. I like some things about Biden, he's strong on defense and he isn't coy with the press, at least not as much as others.But more importantly, having Kerry, Clinton, and Biden running will give the Democratic party a real chance to make a decision. Clinton will likely be the most consensus candidate and she'll probably win. But

"Mr. Chips From Hell"

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Daniel Ruth hits a grand slam this morning. He writes: "Yep, to be sure, this is a mere bagatelle of a do-nothing job — modest pay, grading papers for hours, overseeing six to seven packed classes a day, attending to parent conferences, dealing with the occasional brawl, being forced to teach to a cockamamie test. And all the while clucking Tallahassee politicians are looking over your shoulder

"Lawmakers walking a tightrope"

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

"Dozens of Florida lawmakers, including Senate President Jeff Atwater, are giving up their posts early to run for higher office this year. As a result, expect to see a 2010 session of lawmakers walking a tightrope as they try to balance not just the state budget, but their legislative bills with their political futures."

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

My local paper, the St. Petersburg Times, has a notable story today on the front page of the local section. Using bullet points, it describes what a jury will not be told in a local trial that started yesterday. The story, which you can read online here, concerns a murder trial. More specifically, it concerns a murder retrial. The story points out that the jury will not be told of an earlier

Ineffective Assistance -- Winning In The Worst Way?

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Appellate friends, is there such a thing as a bad win? If there is, then this decision released earlier today by the Fifth District might be an example. A criminal defendant appealed his convictions for tampering with physical evidence and resisting arrest without violence. The district court never reached the issues raised on appeal because the court determined the police illegally obtained the

Fourth District: PSIs

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

To impose a habitual offender sentence, Florida law requires a pre-sentence investigation. That requirement is said to amount to a right to a PSI before being sentenced as a habitual offender. Can counsel waive that right, or is it the sort of right only the individual should be able to waive? In this decision, the Fourth District explained that counsel can waive the right to a PSI. In a

Fourth District: Insurance

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Insurance fans may be very interested in this decision. The Fourth District reversed an order enforcing a settlement, holding that an insurer's response to a settlement demand constituted a counteroffer, not an acceptance, because the response contained a release that included objectionable, not "usual," terms. The court initially paraphrased the not "usual" terms as (1) a release of other

Fourth District: Hearsay

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Under this decision from the Fourth District, you can add certificates of non-licensure from the Construction Industry Licensing Board to the list of non-testimonial hearsay items that can be admitted against a criminal defendant consistent with Crawford v. Washington.

Fourth District: Arbitration, Part II

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

In the second of two arbitration decisions that the Fourth District released last week, available here, a divided court affirmed a waiver determination. The majority opinion is just over four pages long and includes three footnotes that were nearly as long as the opinion's text. The court ultimately affirmed the trial court's waiver decision based on a view combining the defendant's pre-suit and

Fourth District: Arbitration, Part I

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

In the first of two arbitration decisions released last week by the Fourth District, the court held that a "mere attempt to settle a dispute outside the courtroom" does not establish a waiver of the right to arbitrate. The decision is available here.

Florida Supreme Court: Appointment Time

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Today, the Florida Supreme Court issued this decision, which holds that Governor Crist must select district court of appeal judges within 60 days of receiving a list of nominees from the Judicial Nominating Commission. The court granted a petition by Senior Judge Robert Pleus to require the Governor to select a Fifth District judge from a list originally submitted to him on November 6, 2008. The

Florida Supreme Court: Appointment Time (continued)

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Before delving into other recent decisions, I would like to return to last Thursday's mandamus decision by the Florida Supreme Court. The court faced a petition for a writ of mandamus filed by retired Judge Robert Pleus, formerly of the Fifth District. The petition asked the court to order Governor Crist to appoint Judge Pleus's successor from a list of nominees first certified to the Governor in

Fifth District: Visitation

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Family law practitioners may be interested in this opinion. The Fifth District determined that the trial court improperly delegated its decisionmaking authority regarding visitation to one party's expert. The appellate court seemed more than a bit concerned that, without findings to support the decision, the final judgment forbid the former husband's current wife from being in the children's

Fifth District: Violence

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

When is exhibitionist behavior considered sexual violence? When applying Florida's Jimmy Ryce Act to keep sexually violent persons involuntarily committed, as the Fifth District explained in this decision.

Fifth District: Serious About Subject Matter Jurisdiction

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Florida's appellate courts can and should raise the issue of subject matter jurisdiction when the parties ignore or overlook it. Recently, the Fifth District has issued two decisions that, sua sponte, delve into that area. One is rather simple. The other is simply significant. This decision shows that the inquiry can extend to where the jurisdictional flaw lies at the case's inception in the

Fifth District: Mandamus, Disqualification

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

This decision from the Fifth District shows that a petition for writ of mandamus can be used to compel the reassignment of trial judges where the 30-day period to rule on a disqualification motion has expired without a ruling.

Fifth District: Legal Duties and Ultimate Facts

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Does a police officer executing a search warrant for a home owe a duty of care to an occupant of the residence? Considering that a police officer's actions create a duty of care where the officer's conduct creates a foreseeable zone of risk to an individual or group, the question could be put in these terms: does a police officer create a foreseeable zone of risk to the occupants of a home by

Fifth District: Insurance and Attorney's Fees

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

This decision really caught my eye. The Fifth District denied an attorney's fees motion made by an insured in a certiorari proceeding. The insured lost the proceeding on grounds any error would be remediable on plenary appeal. In that context, the denial of fees was not remarkable -- a few years ago, the state supreme court confirmed that insureds must prevail on appeal to recover appellate

Fifth District: Great Way To Lose, Treating Physician Discovery

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

I recently posted on a Fifth District decision that seemed a bad way to win. Well, here we have a decision from the same court that seems like a great way to lose. The case involved a certiorari petition seeking relief from a trial court's order denying discovery. The order refused to permit the petitioner to obtain bias discovery regarding the respondent's treating physicians' involvement with

Fifth District: Grandparental Custody

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Can grandparents obtain primary residential responsibility over their grandchildren, better known as custody, without adopting them? Yes, explained the Fifth District in this decision, which involved a mother who consented to the placement and a father whose identity was allegedly unknown.

Fifth District: Forum Selection Clauses

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

A contract includes this language: "The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in New York City, USA." Is that forum selection provision permissive or mandatory? Mandatory, as Fifth District explained in this decision.

Fifth District: Final Contractor's Affidavit

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Construction fans should be interested in this decision. The Fifth District explained that while providing a final payment affidavit is a condition precedent to a statutory lien foreclosure claim, that condition can be waived where the defendant does not raise its failure with particularity in the answer.

Fifth District: Fighting Words

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Concerned that a lesser standard could cross lines drawn by the First Amendment's free speech clause, the Fifth District in this case reversed a juvenile's disorderly conduct conviction because the juvenile's loud, profane words did not incite others to breach the peace or present an imminent danger to others.

Fifth District: Family Law

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Family law practitioners may be interested in this reminder from the Fifth District that rule 12.490(f) requires courts to hold hearings on timely filed exceptions to magistrate reports.

Fifth District: Entrapment

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

If you are interested in entrapment, take a look at this decision from the Fifth District. It is rather short but gives a good overview of the distinction between the objective entrapment test, which focuses on how the government official's conduct would affect a reasonable person, and the subjective entrapment test, which focuses on how the government official's conduct actually affected the

Fifth District: Default Judgments

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Part of me constantly fears overlooked deadlines. That same part is always relieved to see decisions setting aside default judgments. This decision from the Fifth District does so, and it points out that reasonable misunderstandings originating from clerical errors can establish excusable neglect. The decision suggests that the appellee used some sharp tactics to obtain a default judgment and

Fifth District Appointment

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0100

Congratulations to Indialantic's Judge Bruce Jacobus. Yesterday, Governor Crist appointed Judge Jacobus to the Fifth District. Judge Jacobus spent the last 14 years as a judge with the 18th Judicial Circuit. He takes the seat vacated when Judge Pleus retired. You can read the Governor's press release announcing the appointment here.
