Is that the correct thing to do? Not talking the legal thing here. What is the right thing? Conversely, is it appropriate for an unopposed judge to refund 100% of the “loan” they made to their campaign to themselves and then deduct all costs from the donations made by others? Would such behavior make you think less of that judge? Should we be looking for such actions from the men and women who “judge” people for a living?

Smart choice.<br /><br />As to a sense of humor, even if the reader is as homophobic as you post, your "joke" is still ... just not funny. <br /><br />In addition, I don't find it funny when an anonymous blogger (Captain) who's read widely in our community impugns a person's integrity on the thinnest of grounds and then tries to bolster that "joke" with thinly veiled bias.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-77014422584017024642018-05-09T20:04:07.695-04:002018-05-09T20:04:07.695-04:001.

You can put whatever name you want on the ballot - women drop their married name or add it if it's Spanish in Dade, or Jewish in Broward. Tons of examples. 3.

Nobody runs to lose, and if you can improve your chances of winning, by running in a race where there are two candidates instead of three, or by running in a race where your name appears on the ballot before your opponent, well then, go for it.”<br /><br />I happen to live in Broward but don’t know this Olefson person. Heard of her opponent only because I think she is Ken Padowitz wife. He was big time ASA that prosecuted lots of homicide cases. Don’t know much about his wife though. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-28341589431722376512018-05-09T19:05:49.382-04:002018-05-09T19:05:49.382-04:0010:02 AM

Her entire legal career has been built over 29 years using her last name, Olefson. So, why would she want to misdirect everyone by adding the name Afleck, who nobody in the legal community would have heard of? If she had been married for a few years, and was known in the community as regularly using her spouse's married name, then that would make more sense.<br /><br />And, you miss my point. Why do you think she added the Afleck and the hyphen to her last name? Nobody is saying it is not legal to do so, and tomorrow, if you read Part Two, you will read what the Division of Elections told me about how they interpret what rules there are on the subject.<br /><br />10:34 AM:<br /><br />Clearly not a fan of Seinfeld, and more clearly, someone who has no sense of humor.<br /><br />CAPTAIN JUSTICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179932096244679236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-35222682156711351972018-05-09T17:19:41.278-04:002018-05-09T17:19:41.278-04:00Can someone please tell me who is occupying Americ...Can someone please tell me who is occupying America?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-18053051410926837092018-05-09T14:14:21.855-04:002018-05-09T14:14:21.855-04:00The trialmaster will NOT be in attendance among th...The trialmaster will NOT be in attendance among the bottom feeders who cannot make a living as a practicing attorney and want to rely on the public teat.the trialmasternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-68351421156537335942018-05-09T14:09:23.568-04:002018-05-09T14:09:23.568-04:00Rumpole must be liking the Shakespeare quote in yo...Rumpole must be liking the Shakespeare quote in your post Captain.

The League holds the forum each judicial election year to review and select candidates in contested Miami-Dade County and Circuit Court judicial races who merit endorsement by the organization’s members. The event is an early opportunity to learn about the candidates’ qualifications, which are often little known to the public.<br /><br />All candidates are welcomed! Candidates in contested races will be asked to submit questionnaires, which will then be made available to forum audience members. Contested candidates who participate at the forum are given the opportunity to speak to the audience about their qualifications and answer questions selected by League members.<br /><br />Once the open forum has ended, League members then privately caucus and submit their ballots for whom to endorse. <br /><br />This event is open to all attorneys, judges, bar associations and members of the public.<br />CAPTAIN JUSTICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179932096244679236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-73658828433155297832018-05-09T10:34:34.535-04:002018-05-09T10:34:34.535-04:00Even according to YOUR post, she was just married ...Even according to YOUR post, she was just married two months ago. Do you expect her to have changed her name officially everywhere on the planet in such a short time, or is it more reasonable to assume that this is the first venue she's had occasion to use it?<br /><br />Do you think she married just to grab a surname starting with "A"? Do you think she's sitting around reading political science academic journals to calculate her advantage? Do you really think the other candidate scurried away saying "OH MY LORD, she's got a last name starting with A!!!!!!!" Or maybe the more reasonable conclusion is that the other candidate scurried away after seeing this candidate's massive net worth.<br /><br />Even if the candidate did add the name starting with "A" as an advantage, so what? If she DIDN'T use that advantage, I would think less of her because she didn't appreciate strategy. That, to me, would show signs of a judge very able to screw up a trial.<br /><br />Last but not least, your quote of "not that there's anything wrong with that" really tips your hand. That quote is code for "not that there's anything wrong with that, but I think there's something wrong with that." Tell me, if she'd married a man two months ago and changed her name by hypenation, would you be raising this issue? <br /><br />No, no. Don't bother answering the question. Your ignorance-laden quote tells us all we need to know.<br /><br />This post was not only asinine but shameful, to boot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-86492148216214161942018-05-09T10:15:24.759-04:002018-05-09T10:15:24.759-04:00Most inane post ever.
