REJECTED!

Brenda’s quest to sit on the Florida Bar’s Board of Governors has failed.  Unbeknownst to us, she had applied to be a lawyer overseer on January 4th, after falsely complaining to the Bar about JAABLOG’s supposedly aggressive behavior, which was also claimed in her now discredited lawsuit.

Jack Thompson, one time blog foe and now friend, sent over the Dear Brenda letter pictured above, and we followed up today with the Bar’s PIO, who provided Forman’s redacted application, found here.  The Bar could not recall a Constitutional Officer ever applying for the Board of Governors over the last twelve years or so, but a thorough records check was not requested, and has not been done at this time.

As far as Brenda’s motives in wanting to participate in formulating and adopting matters of policy concerning the activities of the Bar, the application doesn’t mention whether or not JAABLOG played a role.  In any event, her written statement regarding “how important it is to stay on the honest and right side of the law” is welcome, given the mixed messages previously offered by Mark Speiser in her guardianship debacle, and her affidavits and assertions now wholly contradicted by video in Brenda v. Blog

The above photograph of shackled juveniles being led to court in the North Wing of the central courthouse was not taken years ago, when people like Vic Tobin and Peter Weinstein were campaigning hard for a new courthouse tower.  It was, in fact, taken this morning, and is representative of the still daily medieval display that the now built, expensive new courthouse was supposed to eliminate.

Given Jack Tuter’s recent plea in the DBR to “encourage anyone involved in the court system to give us input on changes we can make to be more efficient,” the following email was sent this afternoon to the chief judge:

” … I am requesting a meeting to give input on how we can address the shameful practice of parading shackled juveniles in the public hallways of the North Wing.”

Of course, since Tuter has blocked JAABLOG from sending emails directly to all judges after some embarrassing word snafus, the message bounced back, which is why it’s being posted here …

JQC v. KOLLRAhere is the Sun Sentinel on the most recent example of a Broward judge stepping in it.  It’s the “Is the rumored impending JQC action merely a campaign violation case?” that we mentioned back on December 5th.  And as far as Dennis Bailey’s proposed JQC settlement, there’s still no direction from the Supreme Court …

SS: Path to court for shackled Broward juveniles is shameful spectacle (2010)

” … When Broward County builds a new courthouse, the problem will be solved, (Tobin) said, because separate, private pathways for juveniles will be designed and built into it … “

    I see that Brenda has seven court cases which were not disclosed in her response to question 21 of the application. And she swore to the truthfulness of the application “under penalty of perjury.”

      Howard was a big enough joke as Clerk of Courts in this political cesspool, but Brenda is some hokey from Penokey without a clue what she’s doing. I’ve worked in four different circuits, but Broward has got to be the most poorly run because of the level of incompetence of its elected idiots. That goes for our judges too.

        Its not like he’s the first Broward judge to play dirty politics and then hope to weather the storm afterwards. As long as they get away with it in the end, nothing changes around here. We continue to have the most poorly performing judges in the state in Broward with a clown of a Chief Judge who makes lame excuses for the lack of quality judges on the bench.

          Not dirty politics. When you are out there campaigning for judge it’s not uncommon for everyone to step in and point out slight missteps to each other. These weren’t exactly slight but weren’t the end of the world in my opinion. There are many states where the judicial races are partisan races.

    Just my opinion, but I surmise that the Bar doesnt want anything to do with Brenda Forman with her past bogus suits concerning her former husband Howard Forman, although she did not list them on her application.
    Judge Speiser found her to have filed her suit to grab her former husband’s financial assets to be in Bad Faith. She’s obviously getting some input from Diaz. He’s failed in the past to assert influence with the Bar, but still trying to get someone on the inside if I had to guess.
    He’s never stopped playing tinker bell since he was suspended from the bench, fined fifteen grand as a Broward judge and required to write letters of apology to Former Judge Seidman and the Hispanic Bar Association for his debut with the Judicial Qualifications Committee Discipline Actions some years ago.

    Some old dogs don’t know when to lay down. He’s one of them.
    The sooner this old dog retires from the bench, the better for the citizens of Broward.

Does he really think anybody falls for his all too serious facial expressions? Ive seen better interpretations of a phoney baloney politician on Saturday Night Live.
      So now he’s getting kicked in the teeth by way of a public reprimand? They wont fall for his overly pedantic demeanor either.

      White defendants vs. black plaintiff. Clearly Judge Henning ordered according to her upbringing and experience. Many psychologists would argue that this is completely normal behavior that she would rule based on her experience and interactions in life.
