3RD DCA TO CSK: "DROP DEAD!"

It is arguably one of the longest titled cases in Florida Appellate history. Twenty seven separate petitions for writs of prohibition filed by Cole Scott And Kissane (Petitioners, challengers, candidate thorns in the side of Judge David Miller).
The 3rd DCA consolidated the Petitions, and succinctly noted that the legal-superstar-genius at CSK who picked Judge Miller out of all the judges and open judicial spots on the ballot .to run against was NOT an attorney in any of the cases before Judge Miller, and then, after some more civil mumbo-jumbo,  DENIED the petition. 
Or as the Daily News noted before the CSK candidate was even born: "Ford to City: DROP DEAD". Said headline capturing the sentiments, if not the actual words of president Gerald R Ford when he  refused to bail out NYC during the nadir of  it's 1970's budget crisis.



In any event, thanks to the putative, pusillanimous petition filed by CSK, we now know that just because a lawyer in a firm files to run against a judge, the firm doesn't get an automatic DQ of the judge on all their other cases. Whew! Glad that burning question has been resolved.
