Election time is here.
Filing fees, and the always fun financial disclosures, are due by April 26th.
So far, Brenda Forman has two announced challengers, while Gordon Weekes and Harold Pryor have none:
Incumbent judges Katy McHugh, Stefanie Moon, and Carol-Lisa Phillips, believed to be Broward’s next Chief Judge, have drawn challenges:
Open seats, assuming Bobby Diaz (10) and Teri-Ann Miller (32) are joining Lou Schiff and Bob Lee in retirement, look like this:
Expect some last minute surprises, dropouts, and some jumping around before the April 26th deadline.
Is Glupman up this year?
Governor Graham RIP. Here’s a nice picture I saw online from 1978 with the Governor and Harvey Gluckin in the background.
We all got so old
I remember this day. Glummy had authored and pushed through a bill that Mike had wanted categorizing skateboarding as a felony, with an enhancement to a PBL if the offender possessed cannabis while doing it. Governor Graham had signed off that day and given everyone involved souvenir Bic 4 color retractable pens that had been used to make the bill law.
You sayin the Defense Atty of the year is named for someone that did something shitty like that??
He had nothing to do with the anti-skateboard crusade.
Glukin = 2 Live Crew
Very sad news about The Allman Brothers Dickie Betts joining Senator Graham and Herbie Gloknik in Heaven. Dickie was a South Florida boy and childhood chum of Herbie. Herbie had been the bassist in a band with Dickie but had chosen film school over music. Who knows. He may have been an Allman Brother in addition to all his other achievements.
URBAN LEGEND.
GLOKIN WAS THEIR ROADIE.
NOT IN THE BAND.
Is this true, he knew them like, for real?
I think y’all are confusing a bunch of different Henry Gluskin’s with the Bacdl Henry Gluskin named on the award.
Carbuccia is getting a free walk? Seriously?
So many. Hilal, De Primo, Carbuccia, Kollra…all awful. Carol-Lisa gets an opponent and none of these idiots do?!? What crazy ass twilight zone is that courthouse in???
Don’t forget Marra. What a crazy ass right wing psycho. Clown ass crazy woman.
Mara is still light years better than Carbuccia
And they’re all republican appointees.
Can’t wait to see Phillips gone. Good riddance!
Sounds like a cheap car wax …
THEY CALL ME BIG BREN
Is she gonna bust out the hat this year and start ranting about Hitler????
Hopefully, as soon as she does, someone will Baker Act the psycho.
It seems taking Mr. Satz out of the equation makes Criminal a good place to be.
Who?
Get every wheeled chair out of here by 5:00 pm or you’re fired.
IT BELONG TO THE HOOD NOW
Eww Wee!
Stripclub Johnny filed against an Incumbent Black female judge?! In black voter Broward?!
Aw hail nah. That lazy p.o.s. cracker ain’t finna take a judgeship from a strong black sistah…karma gonna fuck Johnny, but real good
Racist you’re correct! The trailer parks no longer stand a chance 😂😂😂
Go Johnny!
We’re all with you Johnny !
Four more years of Pryor giving criminal defendants a slap on the wrist. What could go wrong?
The word is Pryor gets removed after the deadline and Ronny appoints a competent replacement to save that sorry ass office. Broward needs the idiots removed and Pryor is at the top of that list.
DeSantis is enough of a Nazi fascist to do something like that. He would love to appoint everyone and not let the people choose. I don’t doubt it. He is that vile and low.
How often does Pryor actually hit people with TTL mandatories? 1% of the time?
Lite Adolph (aka Ronnie) couldn’t save himself from plastic bag suffocation
Trump derangement syndrome is real. You have a mental illness with the woke mind virus. Seek help.
Harold is the BEST! He would actually make a FANTASTIC President. The SA staff loves working with HP. He’s the GREATEST BIG Boss in the courthouse.
Is this a joke
RUN AGAINST ALL BROWARD JUDGES
END MAGA DOMINATION OVER BROWARD
STOP THE REPUBLICAN JNC
Trump derangement syndrome is real yo.
uh oh… Ileana trying to pull a Watson and get to the bench to escape discipline….

Is history repeating itself??
This’s ironic cause if she’s found in violation of anything then a JQC Judge would be replaced by a Bar disciplined lawyer.
Why is no one running against this damaged candidate?
No self-respecting lawyer can take the pay cut.
I agree about the money. But there’s still plenty of lazy people out there. It’s a half day job. Why don’t they knock her out.
LOL. Salary is nearly $200K with great health insurance and pension after vesting. So, by normal process of elimination we know the pay cut comment can’t be coming from an ASA or PD. It also isn’t coming from most criminal defense lawyers. And decent civil lawyers aren’t reading this blog. In fact the average lawyer salary in Florida is $98,341 so this is double. Ironically these blog complainers whine well but none even have the money to pay a $7700 filing fee. Typical blog BS.
That average is weighted down by the sheer number of Government attorneys.
What’s the average for private practice attorneys?
They are struggling, having to sell everything they have ever worked for and retiring with no benefits. They have spent years making no money, no pension, sky high health insurance rates, and will have to learn to live on a small social security check.
This is why most judges are from either SAO, PD or criminal. Most civil lawyers can not afford to take such a pay cut. They make less than $200k.
You may have brought down my daddy, but I love your blog …
AT THE CROSSROADS
ESCAPEES TO THE BENCH
What. ? No sleazy bean counter ?
THIS IS ONE LAZY SLEAZY JUDGE NO ONE WILL MISS
SO LONG DIAZ AND GOOD RIDDANCE
Renatha Francis is the MAGA Justice that voted against allowing the Abortion Constitutional Amendment on the ballot.
Her topic: WOMEN AND THE LAW
THIS WOMEN IS DISGUSTING!!!
REALLY? South Broward Bar Ass.
How can anyone pro-choice stomach this event?
ENCOURAGE ALL YOU KNOW TO VOTE TO NOT RETAIN THIS MAGA NUT JOB.
PROTEST TOMORROW OUTSIDE THE VENUE.
Interestingly enough, the Florida Supreme Court is comprised of four men and three women and ALL the men voted to keep the amendment on the ballot, and ALL the women voted to keep it off. But what you fail to recognize is the vote had nothing to do with their personal opinion of the amendment. The three no votes are based on the bill summary containing numerous vague and ambiguous terms such as “viability”. All the sponsor has to do is define the terms as is required by law.
You have every right to protest a speaker. But to not understand why you are protesting and to encourage others based on your own failure to read and digest this opinion is all too common and it’s wrong. Unfortunately, this is the way now. Hopefully you are not a lawyer because while your protest might work out at the event, it won’t work in a courtroom.
So what you are saying is the majority does not know the law, got it wrong and should not be lawyers?
Francis is MAGA. Hopefully you are not a lawyer to advance such a naive position. I’m afraid you do not understand.
Your ability to understand an argument is quite poor. Both the majority and dissent wrote well. Both arguments have merit. Your contention is “How can anyone pro-choice stomach this event?” And that is where your argument fails. There is nothing to indicate that the majority is pro-choice. There is nothing to indicate the dissent is not pro-choice. The two opinions are based on whether the wording of the amendment properly informs the voters. You might recall—although I doubt it since you’re clearly a narcissist—there have been amendments before where the voters weren’t sure whether a yes vote actually meant no, and vice versa. That’s why there should be no ambiguity in the words.
I’m not defending Justice Francis. I’m defending the role of the Court. Whether she is MAGA can be fine for your protest, but to actually draw from that opinion that the men are pro-choice but the women are not is more than what you’ve called me (naive), it’s moronic.
I’m sorry for you to believe “viability “ is a vague term only in Florida. All other states that passed the C amendment did not have a problem with the term. You should vote to retain her and while you’re at it, vote for DJT. You obviously have a Forest thru the trees problem if you don’t understand English.
Of course it’s vague! That’s nearly the whole point of over fifty years of abortion law. In some states it’s 6 weeks LMP. In others it’s 15 weeks LMP. Those are just two examples. In Amendment 4 there is no definition. Do you even know whether you want to vote Yes or vote No to get the pro-choice result you want? And if there is no definition, let’s say this amendment passes; can’t the legislature then make the viability threshold whatever they want since there is no definition? The irony is that a definition would HELP your position, but you’re too blind to see it. Here’s the language:
“No law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s health care provider. This amendment does not change the Legislature’s constitutional authority to require notification to a parent or guardian before a minor has an abortion.”
How many abortions are truly to protect a woman’s life vs a woman that had unprotected sex and an abortion is now her method of birth control?
Interestingly, you will call someone who respects life disgusting while you glorify the killing of babies and the trauma for women abortion has caused . It’s a clown world indeed. 🤡
I bet you are a man. Just STFU about abortion if you don’t have a uterus.
LMAO. Roe v. Wade was created by an all male SCOTUS.
Roe was a prostitute that had multiple pregnancies and never had one abortion.
No. Sorry but the human sacrifices will stop. You are sick.
Nice try Marc M.
Most women in America are on anti depressants.
And in Broward they all want to be judges !
JOIN THE CLUB
If you are a woman, it’s your responsibility to protect your uterus. Think about birth control as a responsible adult woman instead of dismemberment of a innocent baby as a form of birth control. During the procedure does women think about what their baby is feeling as it’s spine is being severed, it’s skull is being crushed or it’s having its limbs cut off?
You are so ignorant. Also- they want to do away with birth control next. The government should stay out of women’s health care.
If you want the government to stay out of women’s health care then I guess we can all stop trying to get the government to make abortion legal.
How about the government gets out of regulating women’s healthcare? You absolute ignorant old man. The only solace is that the majority of people that think like you are dinosaurs that will be dying soon. I can’t wait until the next generation is actually in charge and all your stupid Christian fascist government ideas die with your boomer generation.
First of all I’m a woman, not an old man. Secondly, I was intelligent enough to protect myself when having sex until I was ready for a child, unlike some little idiots that don’t worry about pregnancy because you can always kill your baby with an abortion. Third, last but not least I’ve forgotten more than this younger generation will ever know.
You are a man. No way in the world you are a woman. I don’t believe you.
Isn’t Ana Gardiner a disbarred member of the Florida bar? Why isn’t her name anywhere to be found on the Florida website? Ummmmm
It’s literally the first name that comes up if you type in Gardiner. I knew the people that post on here are generally dumb but I guess I didn’t realize how dumb. Shame on me for ever reading this thing.
I HAD IT WHIPED
WHAT YOU DONT KNOW WONT HURT YOU LIKE IT DID ME
THE DOWNFALL OF GARDINER AND SCHEINBERG
AND THE LIES THAT ACCOMPANIED IT
Which is the worsest Judge in Broward history?
1. Gardiner
2. Scherer
3. Pollock
4. Diaz
5. Destry
?
Judge Irwin Berkowitz
The Devil made me do it …
NO COMPARISON – HANDS DOWN
DALE ROSS WAS THE BIGGEST SCUMBAG OF THEM ALL
The Grossman BROWARD SLEAZE BALL AWARD
Now deceased
FROM THE DAYS WHEN HOLLYWOOD GREASED THE CRACK
THEY FLUSHED ME FOR ALL MY EFFORTS
THE LAST DAYS OF DALE ROSS
That is a tough call. Not Pollock or Diaz. Diaz is awful and rude but cant ruin anyone’s lives horrifically in JV court the way the varsity jerks can. You left off O’Connor, Aleman and Holmes.
That list should be five times as long with all the bad judges we’ve had in Broward. And there are and were even worst offenders.
“Worsest”. Hysterical. Did your spell check fail?
ONE OF THE LAST OF THE SCABS
The list is way longer than that.
Cathouse Cindy certainly has an honorable place among those judges that graced the Broward Judiciary with their hypocrisy and hubris.
Blow up my skirt. It’s almost happy hour.
ROUGH NIGHT OUT AND NO SCORE
I’LL TAKE BOTH YOUR CANNOLIS AT THE SAME TIME
THAT’D BE BECUASE YOU NEVER CAUGHT MY ACT AT THE SUNRISE FLEA MARKET
I didn’t order a ham sandwich. I wan the whole ham.
Holmes was terrible. She was a nightmare. But I don’t think she was the worst.
JUST KEEP THOSE JELLY DOUGHNUTS COMMIN
MY PUNK NEEDS THE WORK
JUDGE SPRINKLES THE CLOWN BANNED FROM THE BROWARD COURTHOUSE
And she did repeatedly
DON’T ASK BECAUSE I CAN’T REMEMBER
THESE HANDCUFFS ARE TOO TIGHT
ROSENTHAL THE SLEEPWALKING ZANNY QUEEN
BROWARD JUDGES ARE A BREED APART
Temporary amnesia is a condition that many Broward Judges suffer from LOL
IT WAS A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY
Played them all and skated the whole way to the old folks home. All this when she could barely add.
Most lawyers can barely add. Lol
Anybody got any weed? I got to be back in Court in 30 mins.
Korda Court was always fun. You never new what you were going to get.
HOLD ON THERE A MINUTE
I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ANA NICHOLE SMITH’S MISSING CHEST X-RAYS
THEN HOW DID THEY END UP IN YOUR CONDO DUMPSTER LARRY
I forgive you, Uncle Larry …
Seidlin was affectionately called Q BALL by those of us who knew him ! LOL
Broward’s biggest bimbo judge to ever have a whoopee cushion named after her ! Got to be one of the dumbest to ever make it to the bench.
RAN BEFORE THE GAVEL DROPPED
PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS THE LITHIUM
Yesterday’s comedy act went viral way too many times. Now she just beats the drum to make herself feel relevant every once in a while.
Cheryl was a jaw-dropping idiot with a horrible self righteous attitude. A real whack job.
Remember me ?
Ol judge green what a pos then he finally scored that court clerk who tried scoring every attorney.
I don’t know how all those booze bottles got in the back seat of my car
i’m filing my paperwork to run for state attorney before the end of closing. Pryor is not gonna get a free ride. He is the worst prosecutor and Broward history.
Signed, Anon? Seriously?
Sto lying “anonymous” no one believes you.
Pryor is a true disgrace to his profession and his race.
FORMS FILED
GO WEEKES
TOOTY BUMPED ME OUT
ANOTHER WHACKED BROWARD COUNTY FORMER JUDGE
Therapy Doll?
Judge Bowman has a lot to answer for …
No that’s a kids project in school the doll travels to family and friends for adventures that the actual child can’t do but will look forward to doing.
Flat Stanley
JUST ANOTHER BROWARD JUDGE CAUGHT WITH HER HAND IN THE TILL
FIND YOUR OWN BARSTOOL
Cindy did like her booze
LAUGHINGLY CALLED THE HALL STRANGLER
BROWARD JUDGES WILL SAY ANYTHING TO KEEP THEIR JOBS
“I NEVER TOUCHED THE GUY”
Courthouse security camera catches the moment
IM REFORMED NOW
This beast is a real ugly POS. Why is she a training lawyer at the SAO. I’ll tell you why. Because HP is literally the dumbest of the dumb and so are the people he has advising him. Total idiot.
BOO
STAY OUT OF DARK HALLWAYS
The clown is on his way out … its about time is all I can say. Diaz has been a bad joke since he took the bench.
Hey, being a county judge for somebody like Bob Diaz has meant bringing in big bucks ! Where else could a guy of such limited talent and even less intelligence make a living doing the same thing day in and day out ? He found his niche crawling around on all fours being a mediocre bureaucratic bum making the best of things. He never had it in him to be a trial lawyer or much else. You’ve got to feel sorry for the guy, but you reap what you ultimately sow and this dude was a bad seed from the beginning.
DIAZ IS A BLOATED GLUT FLY AND SMELLS LIKE HE HASNT TAKEN A SHOWER IN MONTHS
The last of Sweaty Bob ! Good thing. He’s been a gross example of everything that’s wrong with Broward’s Judicial scene!
With that black polish dripping down his head he looks like a ghoul …
I’LL TAKE IT FROM HERE ON OUT BOBBIE
WE’RE ALL WITH YOU JOHNNY !!!
