Florida Gov. Rick Scott appointing fewer black judges than predecessors | Tampa Bay Times
Rick Scott is not serious about appointing Blacks to judgeships. His appointments to date are fewer than the two immediate past governors - both of whom were Republican. The appointments Scott has made have not been to the more prestigious trail court levels, but rather hearing job-related injury cases, small claims and traffic cases.
Does he question the ability of Black attorneys to handle more challenging trail court cases? Huuumm!
we must get Scott out of office. The next governor will have the opportunity to replace 4 of the 9 State Supreme Court justices. We can't allow Scot to stack the High Court with ultra-conservative jurists who will control the judiciary for decades to come!
