An irrebutable presumption exists that Rothstein peddled influence while on the Florida’s Bar Grievance Committee and the Judicial Nominating Commission in a self-serving manner. Every grievance case he sat on should be re-examined. Every judge he recommended or donated to should be questioned UNDER OATH.

Do not buy into the Florida Bar promise this will never happen again, b/c it ALWAYS does. The FL Department of Professional Regulation must take-over regulation of attorney discipline instead of allowing such matters to remain in the hands of those Rothstein type loonies who self regulate themselves at the Florida Bar.

It is the voters that will decide. And so they should…the other process apparently doesn’t work!

Judge Hurley is an embarrassment in public. He was seen out of control, yelling at the top of his lungs at a young group of women.

You all miss the point. Rothstein’s contributions and these judicial appointments fit a PERFECT pattern. Co-incidence? I think not.

Republican Boss Jim Greer is a scumbag and not above selling judgeships.

Charlie Crist is a pathetic fraud and closeted homosexual who would sell his mother for campaign cash.

If this is what Rothstein is trying to feed the FEDS he is going away for a long time as this whole buying judgeships thing will be hard to prove.

Rothstein will be raped in prison and deserves it. All Broward will cheer when this pompous phony gets his !

Hurley was an average lawyer at best. He is the ideal example of appointed mediocrity, with political connections to Crist as his main attribute. He has virtually no qualifications except that he fraternized with the Crist. It’s bye bye Hurley when she jumps in the race.

The appointment process for judges has always been political. The JNC won’t send your name to the governor unless you have political clout with the right connections. Hurley is a good example of someone who put years in Republican politics before being appointed, plus being a fraternity brother of Chiles.
