A careful reader of the blog suggests this is the SAO's response to the exodus:
The story of the Exodus
And someone said to the State Attorney...Let my people go. (It's such a good line. Every spring around passover we use it at least once during a bond hearing).
But the State Attorney's heart was hardened and should would not let the people go (before the expiration of their three year commitment...)
And Moses came down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey...
To be continued...
In our next episode of The Exodus, the people are freed from bondage...but the State Attorney changes her mind...
What will happen? Will anyone be chased? Who will part Biscayne Bay?
From Occupied America...Fight the Power!!
*Steely Dan is an American Jazz-Rock band founded in 1972, disbanded in 1981, and reunited in 1993. Their music was played on AM and progressive FM radio stations, and their music could be purchased on Albums, which were spherical disks that needed a corresponding player-machine with a needle to play the music. In college, an individual's "coolness" was measured by the size of their speakers which played the music from the player-machine via wires which connected the machine to the speakers.
Judge Zilber has the background as a real trial lawyer before ascending to the bench. That makes a difference. He knows the Evidence Code and has authored many academic legal articles on complex areas of the law.
ReplyDeleteHe cites cases that are authoritative off the top of his head. Kudos Judge. He reminds me of Judge Baker from the past.
Do you have the list of the refugees?
ReplyDeleteto anonymous @9:40 Martin quit with the fake news blogging while you are supposed to be on the bench
ReplyDeleteGreat Dan reference.
ReplyDeleteThey didn't appreciate what they had and don't realize what they're giving up. Within a few years (if not sooner), all of them will look back on their time as ASAs as "the good old days," just as the rest of us do. In the years to come, they'll realize that most of their gripes were insignificant and that KFR and her crew are doing a far better job than they ever game them credit for............once they get some perspective in the real world.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing new about people leaving in droves once they complete their commitments (the sad part is that way too many don't). Regardless, I wish them all nothing but the best.

Zilber was never a great trial lawyer. He represented the Opa Locka Flea Market and was a disaster in trial. He regularly got his ass kicked. Is he the guy who wears a hat of some sort while on the streets?
ReplyDeleteJudge Zilber is very bright and a pleasure to be in front of, but the real intellectual and academic Jurist in the Justice Building is Judge Milton Hirsch. He is brilliant. His orders are lengthy and filled with his thoughts on Constitutional insight. He is a Wow.
ReplyDeleteTo 10.47: You are quite wrong, but the rules of ethics sharply limit a lawyer's ability to constructively criticize a sitting judge, because they cannot defend themselves. But what if Judge Hirsch had simply issued an oral ruling, granting the writ. Do you think it would have had less force and effect? Or was the real purpose of the lengthy ruling to ensure maximum personal publicity?
