I am a huge Thomas supporter and have no doubt that his judgment was unaffected by his participation in the nomination process, but if I were on death row Im not sure I would want to have been sent there by a judge who was facing his dream job, dependent on his not appearing "soft on crime" during the very year I was sentenced. If nothing else, it raises questions about appearances. <br /><br />Let's say Thomas were a weaker man, with less integrity. And let's say he felt a life sentence was the right sentence, but knew nonetheless that as a black gay man his candidacy was already somewhat vulnerable. Could we expect such a man to effectively throw away his life's ambition and dream job on someone like Joel Lebron?<br /><br />Its a tough question, probably impossible to answer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-39042909490455082632013-09-23T18:34:47.684-04:002013-09-23T18:34:47.684-04:008:55

Obama has nominated at least one African American woman to the Middle District, and she was later confirmed and appointed. Presumably, Rubio returned the blue slip for her. More recently, i.e., last week, Rubio agreed to return a blue slip for Judge Brian Davis. The racist thing just doesn't hold water.<br /><br />I have no idea whether any other Florida district-court judges who were nominated by Obama and who Rubio returned a blue slip for are gay. But the JNC has just put forth Darrin Gayles, who is openly gay. If Obama nominates him and if Rubio returns a blue slip for him, charges about homophobia will also be proven false (or significantly undercut).<br /><br />As for Rubio's stated reasons, is there really no merit to them? Obviously, a lot of people were very upset about the lenient sentence in the Traverso case. As for crying on the bench (as a possible "judicial disposition" issue), I that that is weaker, and I am not faulting Judge Thomas for having done so. But it is unusual, nonetheless.<br /><br />I like and support Judge Thomas and hope Rubio returns the blue slip (which appears to be unlikely). But I can't say, objectively speaking, that Rubio is way out of line here, either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-72448749564928093832013-09-23T13:41:48.518-04:002013-09-23T13:41:48.518-04:00Rubio is a rascist.Rubio is a rascist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-22489252128019783762013-09-23T13:19:48.812-04:002013-09-23T13:19:48.812-04:0010:29 am

This is all the more true in a case that will, in all likelihood, end up with a death sentence.<br /><br />Give Senator Rubio the benefit of the doubt that this isn't about demographic issues, but is instead about his concern for Thomas's legal abilities --- and address those issues. <br /><br />No one who has ever appeared in front of Thomas, as an ASA / PD or private should fail to take the five minutes to email Rubio and ask their friends and family to do so as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-87136294293223224712013-09-23T11:53:00.938-04:002013-09-23T11:53:00.938-04:00Maybe we can replace Marco Rubio and replace him w...Maybe we can replace Marco Rubio and replace him with a person with a brain.<br /><br />As for Alan Schwartz... smart man, total asshole.
