GAME OVER!

The Florida Bar has taken the rotten tomato they were using for a ball in Brenda v. Blog, and gone home. Via letter dated August 25th to Forman, the case was formally closed some 667 days after the Bar received the initial complaint, following a no probable cause finding by Grievance Committee 17(c) on August 3rd. The controversial proceedings were carried through up to and including the Bar’s closure letter, which contained face-saving, false assertions. The Sun Sentinel’s Rafael Olmeda broke the full story earlier this morning.

Along the way, Brenda and her team at the Bar not only invigorated JAABLOG’s flagging interest in regular blogging, they also provided an abject lesson in the Streisand effect. If clerk’s employees, bailiffs, and other courthouse personnel outside of the blog’s traditional audience of lawyers, judges, media, and the JQC weren’t reading and commenting here before Brenda v. Blog, they are now.

As previously stated, our disappointment lies not with Brenda, of whom this type of conduct is to be expected. Our anger is with the disciplinary arm of the Bar, which by its actions has not only encouraged this type of awful behavior in Brenda and others like her, but has, most egregiously, stained the reputation of the Supreme Court, of which the Bar is an arm. The honorable men and women of Florida’s highest court deserve better, and the Bar should be held accountable.

Our deepest thanks to pro bono warriors Adriana Alcalde, Geoff Cohen, and John Howes, for seeing us through the most recent, and likely not the last, Bar assault on the Broward courthouse blog. Whether or not they agree with all or any of the things JAABLOG is, these honorable lawyers would walk the ends of the Earth to defend the Constitution of the greatest nation in the history of the world, upholding the solemn oaths they swore. They join Ed Hoeg, Russell Cormican, Jr., Norm Kent and Michael Klasfeld before them in their tireless, gratis efforts on behalf of JAABLOG, protecting free speech and true professionalism. We are truly indebted.

Now, without further ado, it’s time to add Brenda’s name to the JAABLOG Hall of Fame, namely the full & complete list of all those who have pursued or been the focus of baseless formal complaints to the Bar against the only unfettered, 1st Amendment defending courthouse blog on the planet:

Brenda Forman – who was found to have acted in bad faith in circuit court proceedings, defined by Black’s Law Dictionary as “dishonesty of belief, purpose, or motive” …

Matt Destry – who quit the bench under a cloud of serious JQC accusations

Bobby Diaz – who was suspended and fined by the JQC for ethical violations in 2005 …

Marni Bryson – who is currently embroiled in a lawsuit involving accusations of marital infidelity and nude photographic texts of the judicial body …

Charles Morehead (RIP) – who violated Grievance Committee confidentiality ethics rules during l’affaire Scheinberg

Jack Thompson – who was an attorney at the time of his complaints, and is now disbarred … *

(*It must be noted Jack became a very good friend to JAABLOG shortly after his complaints closed, and remains so to this day … )

In closing, our thanks to you, dear readers. Your support throughout the years has been astounding, and won’t be forgotten. The tips, comments, and readership do more to hold our elected officials accountable than any official agency, and with your continued support, JAABLOG will never be silenced by the type of harassment and extra-legal maneuvers the Bar resorted to in Brenda v. Blog. On that you have our solemn word …

THANKS FOR PLAYING!

      CAN WE VOTE JUDGE FABIENNE FAHNESTOCK OUT OF HER SEAT??? SHE IS AN INCOMPETENT, UNJUST AND THE MOST UNFAIR JUDGE. THE WORST JUDGE OF CHARACTER. THIS LADY IS THE WORST PIECE OF JUNK THAT PUTS CHILDRENS LIVES IN DANGER AND TAKES FROM CHILDREN TO GIVE TO PIECE OF JUNK PARENTS. SHE HEARS EVIDENCE OF VERY VIOLENT ABUSIVE PARENTS AND STILL ORDERS 50/50 FOR THE CHILDREN TO GO TO BE IN DANGER WITH THAT PARENT REGARDLESS OF POLICE TESTIFYING TO FIND THE PARENT SELLI G DRUGS AND HIS ABUSEE OF THE CHILDREN PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY. JUDGE FABIENNE FAHNESTOCK IS A LIAR AND TRASH WHO HELPS LAWYERS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PROSE LITIGANTS. ABUSE OF POWEERRRR PIECE OF CRAP JUDGE.

        You are a freaking LYING BASTARD to tell these horrible and malicious lies about the Honorable Judge Fabienne Fahnestock. Judge Fahnestock is one of the best, fairest, most competent, and knowledgeable Judges that God ever created! You are disparaging her here because you must have been totally and disgracefully incompetent in a hearing you had before this Honorable Judge. Big shame on you! You are not even worth a piece of trash. You will remain useless and miserable for the rest of your worthless life for lying on this very precious and honorable Judge who ALWAYS does the right things for the children and parents in her courtroom.

    How did that inept uneducated idiot get re-elected. She was nothing more than a file clerk and not a good one at that. She’s got cover with the pandemic but she will be a disaster and the office run into the ground. Stay tuned

      We see her being in a lot of trouble shortly down the road. Will it be actual theft, or just incompetence.

    Yes Bill even the bailiffs got involved. Make no mistake, the bailiffs know everything that is going on in this courthouse and know the dirt on alot of the judge’s and what they do behind the scenes and who’s doing who. This place is like an Xrated soap opera. Bill keep up the good work that you continue to do.

      More people voted against her but she still got re-elected. Only in broward. She is a train wreck now high on power. Will the voters allow her to handle the billions in investments? The clerks office and the county will be trashed. She can’t run her own life.

      To right we have A weak political weasel kissass; on the left left gaze at a small time crook. A bad crook. She stole the election like the ripoff ex-mortgage broker or whatever she was. But got greedy as expected and tried in vain to steal Howard’s money and freedom. Mark my words: there will be a lot of missing money. Which will easily be traced.

    Congrats Bill for sticking it out. And whoever helped. A rare person who Lives by the constitution. Deeply held philosophical belief in that if affects his life profoundly. Different than “an opinion” if you do labor law. Talk the talk and walk the walk. No one else has suffered for the First Amendment in this town more than Gelin. Who else?

    You can’t fault Speiser or Backman. Seems they fully split the vote. Just bad politics and change of demographics. Many, many black, uninformed voters. With illegal & fake mailers sent out on their behalf. The black candidates cheated & lied to their community. Virtue-signaling, self-hating whites are voting for garbage black candidates en masse. My black garbage man could have won clerk.

      Cheating is going to make all voting like third world countries. My mail carrier lost a package this week. They’re going to handle ballots? And now mass mailing with no way to check. Is that the only way democrats can win now? I’ll be amazed if joe debates.
