Rumor from the DCBA is that Jane Muir thinks she can replace Judge Muir when she retires. Yep. Jane Muir the attorney that has yet to practice law, but applies for every award. God help us.

It pains me to read some of the comments, because some of the most vicious ones are always splashed on the screen by someone only known as anonymous. Freedom of speech is one of our most cherished rights in this country, but I would like to think that a person has enough balls to put their name on whatever opinion they wish to express. It seems so gutless to attack someone in this forum and not be willing to say who you are.<br /><br />As for me, Theodore G. Mastos, I have known David Young for many years. He prosecuted in front of me when I was a circuit judge, and I had the pleasure of appearing in front of him during his tenure on the bench. I am supporting him now and will continue to support him.Ted Mastosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-9490986188602393062015-12-06T10:19:09.442-05:002015-12-06T10:19:09.442-05:00448---Sorry, I was unclear.

Anyone would be crazy to run against him. He never coward to to State or anyone else. He did what he felt was the right thing to do. There are others who deserve to be challenged. Too many feel comfortable bowing and catering to the big firms when they go to civil, and desrve to have to run a campaign so they learn that the big firms cannot save them from a defeat at the polls. So many suck up during the electoral cycle or while seeking a Federal judgship only to return to their old arrogant ways when the game is over. All of those (you know who you are) need to learn the lesson that arrogance and stoking the elite catches up to you sooner or later. All said, I predict several of those will have challengers before the starting bell sounds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-56022164926582794352015-12-02T15:45:50.343-05:002015-12-02T15:45:50.343-05:00Poor PeacockPoor PeacockAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-19536892577152946522015-12-02T14:08:55.411-05:002015-12-02T14:08:55.411-05:00To 12:01: Because he has raised $173,630.60 and ha...To 12:01: Because he has raised $173,630.60 and has name recognition. It takes money to run an effective judicial campaign. Who knows maybe someone in one of the other groups will raise enough cash between now and May to make a run against him in May. The groups are not set in stone. Right now its all about raising capital. Then you file qualifying papers in May 2016. Or withdraw if you don't raise the cash. Its all fluid. Hopefully someone raises the cash and goes up against him.

If he had kept his fucking mouth shut, he may have just goten a private slap on the wrist.<br /><br />To make all of this worse, the fucking 4th DCA waited months to decide if a stay was warranted on hundreds of cases. They are the real bad guys here.<br /><br />I hope our own idiot prosecutor with a robe (Brennan) gets hit with a complaint too. What she did was far worse. She secretly and actively helped the State and AG win an appeal.

He doesn't deserve to sit on the bench because he is totally unqualified, was grand standing when he was on the bench to the cameras, has no judicial temperament and left the bench he now seeks again to go on TV as an entertainer. He failed at that as well. He will be soundly defeated. Take that to the bank.
