NO amount of money raised by plaintiff's attorneys can equal the money, marginally legal fundraising and underhanded tactics of UAIC. It is hardly a fair fight. The public, not the attorneys who represent your victims, will be well served when a real Insurance Commissioner finally does the audit necessary, and puts you out of business, and maybe in prison.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-8292739911549438042014-08-05T14:52:17.351-04:002014-08-05T14:52:17.351-04:00The robe, like every other mantle of power, doesn&...The robe, like every other mantle of power, doesn't change anyone.

The CABA and Dade County Bar polls are not an accurate barometer of a candidate's qualifications. Most lawyers don't vote in the bar polls and most don't know the candidates anyway. As the blogger at 8:50am said, the polls are manipulated. For instance, contrary to the poll ratings, Carrazana is qualified. He's been both a trial and appellate for more than 10 years. In fact, he is the only candidate that is an appellate lawyer. Fonts, Dooley, Bocanegra and Mavel Ruiz are also qualified because of their legal experience as trial lawyers. We need people on the bench that know how to read case law and interpret the law and judges who practiced law. If a candidate has not practiced law, then you can say he or she is not qualified. A candidate's qualification should be based on their legal experience. It is that simple.

That would be a neat trick considering the ballots are disseminated electronically with unique user passwords.<br /><br />PIP plaintiffs are so hysterical over this election ... the plaintiffs' bar has been throwing big-money fundraisers for every PIP county court judge for years. I'm sure this has nothing to do with the $350/hour in fees that 5th-year lawyers are bringing in. Perhaps it's the end of the plaintiffs' bar's hegemony over the county court judiciary?

Anyone who cares about the election has a chance to influence it in a small way by getting out to vote, donating to worthy candidates and by contacting their friends and clients who are likely to vote and recommending a couple of candiates they think should be elected. If everyone did a little then Judges like Lobree could be retained.

Electing judges is a perversion of the system. Making judges beholden to an electorate influences decisions, and that is precisely what the Founding Fathers did not want. That is why they made a judgeship a lifetime appointment subject to confirmation by a legislative body (the more deliberate Senate, not the House of Representatives.) You also have to remember the Senate was an appointed, not an elective, position in the original writing of the Constitution.<br /><br />I understand the argument re: politics in the appointment process. But don't forget that more of the public votes in the election of the executive than in any judicial race. Most voters don't know a thing abut the judicial candidates. They vote one of, or a combination of, three things: race, ethnicity and gender. Is this really how we should be selecting our judges?<br /><br />If the Herald did not use the Bar Poll at all, instead of instances where it serves their purposes, no one would pay attention to it at all. It is so corrupt itself, that it SHOULD be ignored, and elections SHOULD not be the way we pick our judges.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-73080771420574478072014-08-04T15:16:05.409-04:002014-08-04T15:16:05.409-04:00I have never seen such unqualfied candidates for a...I have never seen such unqualfied candidates for a judgship in my many decades of practice.

He sent out a press release to try to spin the situation and out right lied. He said she never refused a urine test and she refused the blood test only because the room was not sanitary. The video has been released and all of that was a lie, Mr. Silber. Did you not see the fucking video before you lied to everyone?<br /><br />The TV and print media are all over him and her. <br /><br />Thanks... Mr. Silber, you made us all look like a bunch of dishonest sports agents that would say anything to make their client look good.<br /><br />The Bar has rules that are clear.

For example, prosecutors, public defenders and United Automobile Insurance Co. lawyers vote based upon either perceptions from those who have appeared in front of a judge or, as at UAIC, on orders from their boss. In other words don't piss off the PD's or ASA's, and absolutely don't get the owners of UAIC on your ass.<br /><br />It should also be noted that rumors persist that UAIC ballots are collected by the General Counsel's office and filled out for the attorneys. This would explain Saenz's and Carranza's ratings (although Carranza is truly unqualified to be a judge).<br /><br />It is about time someone called the Dad County Bar Poll what it is: useless and misleading.
