ELIJAH RISING?

 Your Miami-Dade County Court Judge Elijah Levitt is resigning from the bench at the end of September. The Coral Gables courthouse will never be the same. 

The reason? In our opinion PURE LUNANCY. In this great, big wonderful world, of all the places on earth one could live, from Montpellier, France to Montpellier, Vermont- from Berlin to Bombay- from Newcastle, UK, to Newark, New Jersey, to go to...it really turns our stomach to even write this- Judge Levitt wants to call Broward County home!  It's madness! Don't jump! Life is worth living. Nothing is worth that hell with the 954 area code. 

"How was your day dear?"

"Just peachy. I went to the courthouse where no one is smiling, everyone is smug about their own little nefarious cabals and clicks, and judges do bizarre  things like lock the doors at 9 am, and had a great time. You know, that courthouse where during the week of Christmas a few years back the JA refused to set an emergency motion for bond on the calendar for a man dying of HIV. That wonderful place where they intentionally call Miami lawyers last." 

And yet, our fair judge is leaving the friendly confines of The City Beautiful (as Coral Gables wants to be known) for Browierd. Well, to each their own. Some people even root for the Oakland As. Some people watch Kardashian TV.   Some people decide to practice civil law. And some people move to Broward. 

Word has it that the judge wants to pull a "Lauren Levy Miller" named in honor of the Miami Judge in the 90s who resigned the circuit bench for love and moved to Naples, and lo and behold got an appointment back to circuit court.  (We have an institutional knowledge of our court system that is quite remarkable, if we do say so ourselves). The County Switch (the LLM) is more  difficult than the  Miami Judge who resigned in the early 80's, went to Africa, it didn't work out, returned and got re-appointed. 

It's not as difficult as "The Switch" as exemplified below.  What is harder? The Roommate Switch or the  Judicial County Switch? You weigh in.

Jason Bloch personally sent a blast email today desperately doubling down on his improper comments regarding ORF. He wrote “ Circuit Court Judges must treat everyone—regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation—respectfully and equally. Judges are responsible for maintaining a fair and impartial courtroom, because there is no room for bias under the law. My opponent has once again accepted the rating of “Highly Qualified” by the Christian Family Coalition, a political special-interest group known for opposing the rights of women and LGBTQ+ community members.”
ORF is not biased and is as fair a judge as you will ever find. Its a shame that this millionaire has to resort to lies to inflame the voters. I hope everyone here has already votes but if not, please go out there and vote today. Tell all your friends and family to vote and please have them vote for ORF.
Also, please advise them of the intentionally misleading name change of cevera, and the horrible blumstein who can care less about the DOD guidelines and has no morals or ethics to be sitting as a judge.

You forgot Dade County Court Judge Terri Ann Miller. She left Dade 20+ years ago and moved to Broward to live in a very religious Jewish neighborhood. She then ran for judge up there and got elected and is still a judge to this day.

I think Miller lost an election in dade and then ran and won in Broward. But I’m not sure and I never implied others haven’t done it. Just that it’s hard.

Hanzy and Coco update. After a scintillating sold out lecture on the rule against perpetuities ( Hanzy - it doesn’t mean forever coco. Coco - no way. Hanzy - way!) the duo was photographed by the paparazzi at Meat market on Lincoln road chowing down on some Kobe steaks.

I hate you and these comments that no one finds funny.

I think he saw the writing on the wall. He knows that he will be a target in his next election from someone who is out of law school barely more than 5 years but has the right last name. He is going to have a better chance in Broward.

Why are people so jealous of Bloch? WTF cares how much $ the guy has? Something is fishy about that race. I’m sure it will surface eventually. Someone close to ORF said he’ll literally do Anything to get elected. Including having his family tell Latin voters in Westchester that Jason Bloch is a rabbi killer. Then there’s the other guy who whispers ORF is a republican in Spanish to voters walking into a certain precinct. The police that were called on his sister for harassing voters. And so on…. He’s been in bed with the CFC at least as far back as 2016. You can look that up. ORF pretends to be a victim while having his family and friends do his dirty work. I don’t know about you but I prefer to be stabbed in the front.
