we don't like to confirm or deny our identity (sorry rick and phil) but we are 100% certain that the day our identity is revealed is the day we are no longer welcome at the Czar's Dacha on NW 14th Street.
"Judge Hernandez, the movie." coming soon to a blog near you.
Starring: That FAT Mexican kid as Juan D'Arce; That overweight rude Dominican Bus Driver from New York City as Judge Ivan Hernandez; and the JQC as themselfs.
Here is the backdrop: The President of the Florida Family Policy Council, lawyer John Stemberger, is also a Bush appointee to the Orange County Judicial Nominating Commission.
The Council, is a Christian conservative group that is for "pro-life, pro-family values in the Legislature and in the public square". The group goes on to state that "we will endeavor in all that we do to be people of good faith and good will in making the case for Biblical family values in the public square."
Why is this important to us way down here in Miami-Dade County?
Because Stemberger's group is mailing questionnaires to all the judicial candidates and expects them to respond to questions having to do with court rulings on abortion, gay adoption, school vouchers, assisted suicide and gay marriage.
His group will compile the survey results and then print 1,000,000 (that's MILLION) pamphlets to be distributed to churches and other locations.
Will the candidates running in Miami-Dade County respond to the survey?
OR will they follow the dictates of the Judicial Ethics Advisory Committee. Chairman and Judge Robert Benton has stated that, "a judge's job is to ascertain what the law is and to apply it even-handedly. A judge's personal philosophy is not an appropriate basis to decide legal questions."
THEREFORE, THE CAPTAIN HEREBY ISSUES THE FOLLOWING DICTATE:
TO THOSE JUDICIAL CANDIDATES OF THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT, MIAMI-DADE COUNTY:
If you decide to respond to the questionnaire of the Florida Family Policy Council, or any other group's questionnaire, which asks you to give your personal views on such issues as "whether you are a born-again Christian", or whether you support gay rights, gay marriage, or gay adoption, etc.,
YOU SHALL NOT BE WORTHY OF THE SUPPORT OF THE LOYAL READERS OF THE RUMPOLE BLOG.
Cap, All these other groups that offer so-called endorsements; what do they ask judicial candidates? Does the Latin Builders association ask how a candidate feels about Latins? Does the PBA ask if a candidate likes police officers? This whole endorsement thing is a pile of crap and I agree with you that none candidates should answer the hypocritical family council's questionnaire.
I am proud to announce (at great personal sacrifice) my candidacy for the office of the troubled Dade County Public Defender, which upon my election shall forthwith be known as the Law offices Of Stuart Robert Mishkin and Associates, attorneys and counselors at law.
George A. Alvarez at 3:24 pm: Who has endorsed you as a candidate Mr. Alvarez. First, Captain is incorrect in assuming such inappropriate questions are asked by those endorsing the candidates - it would clearly be illegal for the candidates to answer such questions. Second, you Mr. Alvarez are not endorsed by any organizations and would like to discredit your opponent's endorsements via the blog. As several others have noted - this blog is not for the benefit of candidates and you should try to campaign in person or on your website. You should not use this as your personal campaign-grounds.
I swear this is true and it happened to me this morning north of the border:
Your case starts off uphill when you draw certain blonde, female judges on the 7th floor in Broward anyway, but I had to deal with an ASA who does more than joust with Dade lawyers...this guy is just plain nasty.
Case is set for a bond hearing. I know what you're thinking...BOND? in BROWARD? Imagine the gaul to seek a bond on a third degree felony.
Client has been in custody 40 days, NO BOND, with no info in court file. Special Unit ASA wont let me see the PC affidavit. I ask him "why"?, he says because youre from Miami. Thinking hes joking I say, "we dont treat you guys that way, but if you are going to use it during the bond hearing, you should let me see it". He relents.
He gives it to me and the hearing ensues. Clerk digs up an information at the request of the judge.
My guy has a long rap sheet of priors. A bond is set at the reasonable amount of $1,770,000.00 (i swear) for 4 third degree felonies, all economic.
After the hearing I ask the ASA what the client scores. While looking at the scoresheet I try to make some small talk to lighten the mood. I mention that I was an ASA. "That doesnt impress me", he says. "It musn't have been in Broward".
He then tells me (and i swear this is true) that i should "...go back to Miami and not come up to Broward and practice". (maybe hes right considering my success at the bond hearing).
He says "the law is different here". I reply, "And youre the sherrif?"
Court adjourns and I repair, to their jungle-themed coffee shop, along with a client's family member. A few minutes later, the same ASA spots me, comes into the coffee shop and shouts "Welcome to Broward County!" and walks out.
I chase him down the hall to ask him what he meant by that comment, and he replies "Just trying to be friendly".
Spy, have to disagree with you. I read the post last night and I agree that Rumpole is Joel Denaro. The pattern fits. But that's my opinion, and I'm Mike Disney.
Are you sure its not Rick? Can you point to one solid piece of evidence that its Phil? Anyone ever see him do this? Its hard to keep a secret like this. Has he confessed to anyone? I don't think its him. He denies it very convincingly every time someone mentions it to him. Maybe its me?
One thing has always troubled me. Ok. 2 things. 1) Rumpole could erase any post he wants and no one would know. Even if the poster complained, Rumpole could erase that complaint and many bad posts about Phil have been posted and not erased. 2) The guilty party is usually not the top suspect.
By the power and glory vested in me by the voters of Dade County, I Bennett Harvey Brummer do hereby order Rumpole of the REGJB to (bruce)cease and desist this blog immediately and for Rumpole to surrender himself to my dacha at 1320 NW 14th Street for further reeducation.
VITTO DOES NOT GET A POST ON THIS BLOG. ITS PERFECT FOR HIM. THAT GREASY GUINEA WOP. HE MADE ME LOOK RIDICULOUS AND A MAN IN MY POSITION CANNOT AFFORD TO BE MADE TO LOOK RIDICULOUS.
Sicilians are great liars. The best in the world. I'm a Sicilian. And my old man was the world heavyweight champion of Sicilian liars. And from growin' up with him I learned the pantomime. Now there are seventeen different things a guy can do when he lies to give him away. A guy has seventeen pantomimes. A woman's got twenty, but a guy's got seventeen. And if you know 'em like ya know your own face, they beat lie detectors to hell. What we got here is a little game of show and tell. You don't wanna show me nothin'. But you're tellin' me everything. Now I know you know where they are. So tell me, before I do some damage you won't walk away from.
I am a candidate who submitted a "Response" to the above-noted questionnaire. However, I refused to answer any of the questions regarding "born again Christians," life-changing experiences with God, abortion, etc., saying instead that I would follow the laws of the State of Florida and the Constitutions of Florida and the United States. I also submitted a "Candidate's Statement" that tells a bit about myself and my candidacy. I hope that this will not preclude my endorsement. Thank you.
Hey 3:55, It's 3:24. Good try but I have nothing to do with george alvarez. I was just reading captain's post and wondering if anybody really paid any attention to those endorsements. Sounds like you're a little touchy though. There are plenty of people on this blog who have nothing personally to do with any of the candidates but are interested in the process.
How in the world is he going to take an appeal to the 4th dca he cant even get clients in Dade let alone has to eat luch in a court cafeteria in another county to talk about how his dumb ass got his client no bond.
Pal, D'Arce only takes out the trash. Unwanted old and worthless. No blood-sucking leeches like yourself blogging crap and trying to act all tough. B-)

To clarify one time: I am banned from the PDO by Brummer , as is Lynn Overman. No reason was given, although the reason is pretty clear: We were a bit too vocal and energetic in out attempt to oust Brummer and crew. My picture hangs on a wall inside the receiptionists' cubicle on the 1st floor. On another wall about 20 feet away is a picture of Brummer receiving the ACLU's Free Speech Award.
Also, contrary to what a previous poster wrote, I have never had a problem with Judge Jimenez and have no idea what that was about, although I appreciate the spirit of the post.
rump, you are a bottom feeder like phil r. in fact phil r is rump. why have u ignored my request that phil disclose the few attorneys who have defeated him in trial. we are waiting..................

Operation Restore Justice is geared toward exposing corruption in the Florida Court system. The web site is here to expose the very rare cases in which a Judge or those under the Judge's control violate the publics trust.
The Supreme Court of Florida has set a path of rooting out judicial wrong doing at all levels. The Supreme Court has released numerous opinions over the past few years making it clear to the general public that it will not tolerate violations of the code of judicial conduct either by a sitting judge or a candidate for judge. Recently the Supreme Court of Florida removed a judge from office because of violations of the code of judicial conduct that happened during his judicial campaign to become a Florida Judge.
All citizens of Florida can be sure that our highest court will NOT tolerate violations of the Code of Judicial conduct at any level. Our supreme court is not shy in expressing its condemnation of any Judge who violates the public trust by not following the code of judicial conduct.
Operation Restore Justice is under the control of a private citizen. It was due to the criminal investigation presently against Judge Ivan Hernandez and his Judicial Assistant, by the Miami-Dade State Attorneys office which has resulted in the seizure of the Judges computer under a criminal subpoena, that Operation Restore Justice was born in early 2006. In addition to complaints from numerous litigants of being denied access to Judge Hernandez court and Racial slurs by his Judicial Assistant against the administrative Judge.
Florida has some of the best Judges in the world. We cannot let a handful of bad apples destroy the prestige of Florida's judicial system. The Supreme Court of Florida through its recent opinions has demonstrated that it will NOT tolerate judges who do not follow the code of judicial conduct.
it seems many people realize that manno schurr is ruthless and not worthy, but if you don't want her to be a judge, you need to help bardiwil who has good momentum and a lot of integrity.

"Judge Hernandez, the movie." coming soon to a blog near you.
Starring: That FAT Mexican kid as Juan D'Arce; That overweight rude Dominican Bus Driver from New York City as Judge Ivan Hernandez; and the JQC as themselfs.
This movie is NOT yet rated.
THIS IS REALLY REALLY FUNNY STUFF.
like all good trial atty's, you can really draw out a fact....
blockbuster...you have even more imagination then I have. Sorry but my post will not be that funny.
NOW MAYBE WE CAN DISCUSS MORE RELEVANT ITEMS:
JUDICIAL ELECTIONS:
Here is the backdrop: The President of the Florida Family Policy Council, lawyer John Stemberger, is also a Bush appointee to the Orange County Judicial Nominating Commission.
The Council, is a Christian conservative group that is for "pro-life, pro-family values in the Legislature and in the public square". The group goes on to state that "we will endeavor in all that we do to be people of good faith and good will in making the case for Biblical family values in the public square."
Why is this important to us way down here in Miami-Dade County?
Because Stemberger's group is mailing questionnaires to all the judicial candidates and expects them to respond to questions having to do with court rulings on abortion, gay adoption, school vouchers, assisted suicide and gay marriage.
His group will compile the survey results and then print 1,000,000 (that's MILLION) pamphlets to be distributed to churches and other locations.
Will the candidates running in Miami-Dade County respond to the survey?
OR will they follow the dictates of the Judicial Ethics Advisory Committee. Chairman and Judge Robert Benton has stated that, "a judge's job is to ascertain what the law is and to apply it even-handedly. A judge's personal philosophy is not an appropriate basis to decide legal questions."
THEREFORE, THE CAPTAIN HEREBY ISSUES THE FOLLOWING DICTATE:

If you decide to respond to the questionnaire of the Florida Family Policy Council, or any other group's questionnaire, which asks you to give your personal views on such issues as "whether you are a born-again Christian", or whether you support gay rights, gay marriage, or gay adoption, etc.,
YOU SHALL NOT BE WORTHY OF THE SUPPORT OF THE LOYAL READERS OF THE RUMPOLE BLOG.
Readers, what are your thoughts??????????????????
AND THE CAPTAIN HAS SPOKEN .......
capi im a fan but zzzzzzzzzzz
Cap,
All these other groups that offer so-called endorsements; what do they ask judicial candidates?
Does the Latin Builders association ask how a candidate feels about Latins? Does the PBA ask if a candidate likes police officers? This whole endorsement thing is a pile of crap and I agree with you that none candidates should answer the hypocritical family council's questionnaire.
Seen at Mortons steakhouse last night: Rick Freedman and Alan Shuminer hunched over a laptop giggling. FYI.
I am proud to announce (at great personal sacrifice) my candidacy for the office of the troubled Dade County Public Defender, which upon my election shall forthwith be known as the Law offices Of Stuart Robert Mishkin and Associates, attorneys and counselors at law.
Thank You.
George A. Alvarez at 3:24 pm: Who has endorsed you as a candidate Mr. Alvarez. First, Captain is incorrect in assuming such inappropriate questions are asked by those endorsing the candidates - it would clearly be illegal for the candidates to answer such questions.

NORTH OF THE BORDER...
I swear this is true and it happened to me this morning north of the border:
Your case starts off uphill when you draw certain blonde, female judges on the 7th floor in Broward anyway, but I had to deal with an ASA who does more than joust with Dade lawyers...this guy is just plain nasty.
Case is set for a bond hearing. I know what you're thinking...BOND? in BROWARD? Imagine the gaul to seek a bond on a third degree felony.
Client has been in custody 40 days, NO BOND, with no info in court file. Special Unit ASA wont let me see the PC affidavit. I ask him "why"?, he says because youre from Miami. Thinking hes joking I say, "we dont treat you guys that way, but if you are going to use it during the bond hearing, you should let me see it". He relents.
He gives it to me and the hearing ensues. Clerk digs up an information at the request of the judge.
My guy has a long rap sheet of priors. A bond is set at the reasonable amount of $1,770,000.00 (i swear) for 4 third degree felonies, all economic.
After the hearing I ask the ASA what the client scores. While looking at the scoresheet I try to make some small talk to lighten the mood. I mention that I was an ASA. "That doesnt impress me", he says. "It musn't have been in Broward".

Court adjourns and I repair, to their jungle-themed coffee shop, along with a client's family member. A few minutes later, the same ASA spots me, comes into the coffee shop and shouts "Welcome to Broward County!" and walks out.
I chase him down the hall to ask him what he meant by that comment, and he replies "Just trying to be friendly".
Rump, thank god you aren't so busy so you can keep me laughing while I sit here and try to get work done!!!
Spy, have to disagree with you. I read the post last night and I agree that Rumpole is Joel Denaro. The pattern fits. But that's my opinion, and I'm Mike Disney.
broward guy- what an f'ing baby you are. Buck up and be a man and get your case in order and try the sucker and beat his ass. Stop your whining.
Rumpole is Phil. End of discussion.
4:26:
All part of the service- give a brother a buck and click on an ad at the top of the blog for me.
Are you sure its not Rick? Can you point to one solid piece of evidence that its Phil? Anyone ever see him do this? Its hard to keep a secret like this. Has he confessed to anyone? I don't think its him. He denies it very convincingly every time someone mentions it to him. Maybe its me?
clicked on 3 ads for you rump!!! keep it up!!!
One thing has always troubled me. Ok. 2 things. 1) Rumpole could erase any post he wants and no one would know. Even if the poster complained, Rumpole could erase that complaint and many bad posts about Phil have been posted and not erased.
2) The guilty party is usually not the top suspect.

where they are. So tell me, before I do some damage you won't walk away
from.
I am a candidate who submitted a "Response" to the above-noted questionnaire. However, I refused to answer any of the questions regarding "born again Christians," life-changing experiences with God, abortion, etc., saying instead that I would follow the laws of the State of Florida and the Constitutions of Florida and the United States. I also submitted a "Candidate's Statement" that tells a bit about myself and my candidacy. I hope that this will not preclude my endorsement. Thank you.
A Candidate

Good for you candidiate X. Tell us your name so we can praise you and the Bush people can have you arrested.

Hey 3:55, It's 3:24. Good try but I have nothing to do with george alvarez. I was just reading captain's post and wondering if anybody really paid any attention to those endorsements. Sounds like you're a little touchy though. There are plenty of people on this blog who have nothing personally to do with any of the candidates but are interested in the process.
RUMP, what is your stance? Are you going to endorse any candidate that responds to the those questionnaires?
The Captain says they are asking about things like gay marriage and adoption, how ridiculous!!!
be gone with you. VERMIN. delete delete delete
thank you

*Alvarez....where are you? You seem to have no soul. We keep looking for it but it seems to have been taken away.
Should've asked around. That's what blood-sucking leeches like D'Arce do, pal. Now he's sucked yours away too.
Pal, D'Arce only takes out the trash. Unwanted old and worthless. No blood-sucking leeches like yourself blogging crap and trying to act all tough. B-)

To clarify one time: I am banned from the PDO by Brummer , as is Lynn Overman. No reason was given, although the reason is pretty clear: We were a bit too vocal and energetic in out attempt to oust Brummer and crew. My picture hangs on a wall inside the receiptionists' cubicle on the 1st floor. On another wall about 20 feet away is a picture of Brummer receiving the ACLU's Free Speech Award.
Also, contrary to what a previous poster wrote, I have never had a problem with Judge Jimenez and have no idea what that was about, although I appreciate the spirit of the post.
rump, you are a bottom feeder like phil r. in fact phil r is rump. why have u ignored my request that phil disclose the few attorneys who have defeated him in trial. we are waiting..................

Operation Restore Justice is geared toward exposing corruption in the Florida Court system. The web site is here to expose the very rare cases in which a Judge or those under the Judge's control violate the publics trust.
The Supreme Court of Florida has set a path of rooting out judicial wrong doing at all levels. The Supreme Court has released numerous opinions over the past few years making it clear to the general public that it will not tolerate violations of the code of judicial conduct either by a sitting judge or a candidate for judge. Recently the Supreme Court of Florida removed a judge from office because of violations of the code of judicial conduct that happened during his judicial campaign to become a Florida Judge.
All citizens of Florida can be sure that our highest court will NOT tolerate violations of the Code of Judicial conduct at any level. Our supreme court is not shy in expressing its condemnation of any Judge who violates the public trust by not following the code of judicial conduct.
Operation Restore Justice is under the control of a private citizen. It was due to the criminal investigation presently against Judge Ivan Hernandez and his Judicial Assistant, by the Miami-Dade State Attorneys office which has resulted in the seizure of the Judges computer under a criminal subpoena, that Operation Restore Justice was born in early 2006. In addition to complaints from numerous litigants of being denied access to Judge Hernandez court and Racial slurs by his Judicial Assistant against the administrative Judge.
Florida has some of the best Judges in the world. We cannot let a handful of bad apples destroy the prestige of Florida's judicial system. The Supreme Court of Florida through its recent opinions has demonstrated that it will NOT tolerate judges who do not follow the code of judicial conduct.
Hey North of the Border,
Sounds like an unreasonable bond -
go the 4th DCA with it and show these fools why we are better lawyers here in Dade.
What kind of campaign is Marie Davidson running? Anybody seen her? Tomny Marin must love it.
who's she?
a nobody, like shurr
Shurr?
it seems many people realize that manno schurr is ruthless and not worthy, but if you don't want her to be a judge, you need to help bardiwil who has good momentum and a lot of integrity.
