COUNTY COURT NOMINEES
In 1932 John "Cactus Jack" Nance Garner was elected the 32nd Vice President of the United States. In March of 1933, before resigning his seat in the house, he became the second man to ever be Speaker of the House and President of the Senate on the same day.
Garner is famous in history for describing the Vice Presidency as "not being worth a warm buck of ____" the final word being variously described by historians as "piss", "spit" or "shit".
Now on to news of County Court. Any resemblance to the above portion of the post and the following is purely coincidental.
THE CAPTAIN REPORTS:

My money is on Beovides.
ReplyDeleteCaptain, can we get some bios? I'm not familiar with all of the names.
ReplyDeleteWhy?
ReplyDeleteCABA Board of Directors, plus Legal Aid lawyer for nearly 10 years. That's all Scott would need.
ReplyDeletehey rumpy, judge hirsch has done it again, another order disparaging the attorneys who practice before him, this time a 3.850 case. wow!
ReplyDeleteCounty Court needs someone like Joseph Mansfield. He's been at the SAO for 14 years, but as his recent stint as Chief of County Court shows, he would be a fair and reasonable jurist. He has the experience and pizazz necessary for the position.
ReplyDeleteJoe is that you?
ReplyDeleteGina Beovides to replace Don Cohn. Another attorney from Legal Aid who has never tried a case becomes a judge. Great. Way to go Governor.
