What will open first- the Straits of Hormuz or the first-floor escalator in the REGJB? Both have been closed for about the same amount of time. Both are semi-controlled by unpredictable characters who say and do different things from day to day and hour to hour. Ever try and get a City Of Miami engineer to do anything? For example, it takes a several year environmental study to lower the thermostats in courtrooms. The good news is that the requests made during the cold snap of December 2012 have just been approved, and judges on the fourth floor can warm up their courtrooms just in time for summer. (Don't get us started on summer in Miami. Because come July 1 we will NEVER be putting on a jacket and tie in the summer again.)
It may well be that the escalator needs to be plugged in, but there are several permits, inspections processes that need to be followed, and technicians that need to be retained before the people who run the REGJB can pick up a plug and put it into an outlet. Life in 2026- there's an app for that. And perhaps we should make an app that - like the ones that show the lines at TSA security in airports- shows the moment-to-moment operations of the REGJB escalators. Seems completely ridiculous. So did putting cameras into phones. And yet...
Our bet? The Oil 🛢 flows before the people move at 1351 NW 12th Street.
How about our Captain shaming the governor and Florida into accepting applications for open judicial spots. Who else can do that? It's not like Mr. Markus can move the needle to get appointments in the SDFL. Just sayin being in trial all the time slows the blogging process down.
This is a great blog we built. Someone needs to step up to run it. April, May, June...👻
Some nitwit files against Judge Gordon Murray? We will have A LOT more to say about that in the coming days and weeks. Stay tuned.
Did you buy stocks over the last few weeks? You did if you followed Warren Buffett's timeless advice- Be scared when people are greedy and be greedy when people are scared. And people were scared this last month- and what did the market do Wednesday? 🚀 We may see a sell off this morning as the scaredy cats recoup some of their losses and sell. And we will be buyers, especially of Microsoft, Broadcom, Apple (naturally), and heres a new one we have mentioned but LOVE- ELI LILLY. Jump on the GLP-1 gravy train. They got approval for the pill form of Mounjaro, and their next generation of meds coming out in 2027ish will make even the laziest judge skinny. Afraid of tech? Some health care stocks are a nice haven.

You keep saying someone needs to step up, but I made a fair offer on 3/22/2026. No response, just like emailing an ASA.
Rumpole has the Escalator Blues
Some good legal news. Former Judge Hannah Dugan was convicted.

Witness sues former assistant State Attorney, claims she was intimidated into testifying in gang leader case

A Miami woman has filed a federal lawsuit alleging that a former assistant state attorney and others in the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office intimidated her into testifying during the resentencing of a convicted gang leader.
Tricia Geter Pinder, a key witness in the prosecution of her ex‑boyfriend Corey Smith, the onetime leader of the "John Does" gang, says state attorneys lied to her and caused years of emotional distress. Smith's original death sentence was overturned, and he was resentenced in 2024 to 30 years in prison.
I always take the stairs. You know who else used to do that ? Janet Reno. I would always see her in the stair case and we had some interesting tete-a-tetes over the years walking to our destinations.
Maybe you didn’t meet my standards. Just like most Asas.
Don’t know about this case. Details.
"What will open first- the Straits of Hormuz or the first-floor escalator in the REGJB?" Best opening line of any blog post, ever, anywhere.
Probably, but dont know if anyone will meet your standards. However, do you have any better offers?
A vindictive prosecution of a judge who tried to protect a litigant then in her courtroom from being snatched from the proceedings by ICE
Janet Reno was great.
I’ve never seen Kathy take the stairs.
I’ve never seen Kathy to be honest. Some say she only works a couple of hours a day. Never the less, she picks real geniuses over there. I absolutely love the way her top litigators handled the Corey Smith case. “The best team in America”.
I wonder what Janet Reno would say about the current state of affairs at the SAO?
Thank you for reminding me to contribute to her defense fund.
Hey Rump can you picture Kathy having to walk up stairs? I bet she just turns around and has her driver take her back home.
Most ASA’s or all?
Thanks. The comment is Much appreciated
It’s always Vindictive prosecutors.
Did you come up with it?
All the chiefs need to go. Starting to think I have to make a bribe to get a mandatory minimum waived.
