From the Daily Business Review “Tuter’s 3rd Chapter: Chief Judge Steps Down,” published earlier today:
Is Jack referring to Conrad & Scherer, where he worked prior to being appointed to the bench?
Definitely a wait and see …
“I was lucky enough to have two or three great jobs in my career, all of which helped me prepare to be a judge. But there are so many people in this room who helped me. Bill Scherer is one of them … I don’t think I’d be standing here without Bill, and it’s easy to say his longtime friendship with Jeb Bush that didn’t hurt any, at all” – Jack Tuter
Surprise surprise
It’s refreshing how JT admits rising to the bench is based upon whom one knows. It’s got nothing to do with anything else.
I respect him for admitting it because most of them won’t.
Who else would take Tuter ? As a former government grunt he’s practically worthless.
Although, what he could possibly be called an expert in is highly questionable.
It’s what is known as colloquially a graveyard gig.
Tuter has never been a chief judge! He was subordinate to Robinsons and the rest of DEI clowns.
Lawyers with lots of free time become the Judges.
Elections or behind the scenes networking to get an appointment are full time jobs.
Successful lawyers can’t do either because they’re so dang busy.
Why there’s so many government lawyers probably
Broke lawyers become judges and then work for chicken feed to pull in a regular paycheck. These aren’t stellar legal minds or talented practitioners we’re talking about. At least not the ones we have in Broward. It’s bottom of the barrel nickel counters who aren’t good at anything else.
Oh some of them are very smart. They’ve done well in private or married well or inherited money. Then they just do the Judge thing to stay busy. And some of the complex litigation is challenging.
This’s a point well taken. Because I believe judicial pay should actually be cut. It’s just high enough to attract bottom feeders who have no business sitting in judgement of anything besides a Denny’s menu and it’s too high for rich&lazy lawyers as was mentioned in your writing. Boyo boy don’t even get me going on the plain stupid pensions either. They’re too expensive and wasteful for the same reasons and more truthfully because there’s too many on the judiciary that don’t bother working in the afternoon. They’re like part time workers. I can hope all this DOGE stuff does come here sometimes soon because the judiciary in Florida (federal too like the Senior status) and elsewhere is soooo inefficient and wasteful. Mr. Musk are you listening?
Honestly, a judge should be paid the same as a senior prosecutor and senior public defender. Each plays an equally important role.
DOGE AND MAGA MEANS FREEDOM
FREE SPEECH FOR ALL
END JUDICIAL WASTE
TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT THE JUDICIARY
FIRE ALL LAZY JUDGES
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
DO PRESIDENT TRUMP AND ELON KNOW HOW LITTLE JUDGES WORK
END JUDICIAL WASTE
CUT THE JUDICIARY IN HALF
START WITH AN AUDIT OF JUDICIAL SCHEDULES
ACCOUNTABILITY IS NEEDED
Never going to happen pal. Quit crying, and being jealous that you couldn’t win an election and be a judge. Go back to playing games and chasing women on your computer. Oh that’s right, none of them wanted any part of you either.
What happened? That bitterness sounds like you failed & lost all your attempts to run or be appointed.
They’ve always been lazy
How’s Queen Lizzie’s TV career goin?
Where was she during Covid and what did Tuter do about it?
She had a free pass until the higher powers got involved.
The lionization of Tooter is gross and his name should be stripped from that courtroom.
I like how he completely screwed up the pandemic response and now they say he’s like some kind of hero for it. For crying out loud Miami ran perfectly day 1 and West Palm didn’t close at all.
LOL I understand you dislike Tuter but to say WPB never closed and Miami was perfect is ridiculous. I was in trial in WPB and you’re right that the Chief kept the courthouse open—until multiple people got COVID. Then the shit hit the fan. In Miami, some lawyer went to court wearing a hazmat suit. None of the south Florida counties kept bringing jurors in.
Civil may have been ok, but Criminal here in Broward was an unmitigated disaster by any standard of measurement.
TUTER IS SUCH A NANCY
Oh, yeah. Tuter was some kind of Anthony Fauci Farce. He did nothing but confuse the situation as I remember, exhibited no leadership quality and bounced back and forth trying to glean as much attention as he could while throughly screwing up the situational response. All this while neighboring counties ran smoothly without any of the unnecessary drama reminiscent of a daytime soap opera.
Embarrassing really. The only place Tuter shined was maybe at a ribbon cutting ceremony. It’s the only thing had any talent for; getting his picture taken and pandering to complete morons.
COME ON TOOTY
WE GOTS WORK TO DO
The Mole returns to its hole ! Did you expect much more ?
He can empty trash can along with Liz
Tuter has been a failure on all counts. At least it won’t be much longer.
She was riding horses while humans rotted on lockdowns in jail.
If she’s as lazy in her podcasts as she was on the bench, it ain’t going nowhere. Anyway. Who would be interested watching a clueless twit doing her twerking routine?
She’s better off back under daddy’s wing.
SPLAT
When is a gift not a gift ?
When it ends in a plane crash … What do I win ?
The sooner the stain of Tuter is gone the better. He gave us Liz and we’ve seen what that amounted to.
Where was she during Covid? Was she reported by the CJ?
The career is heading towards Only Fans. In the latest short, Lizzie calls another woman “stupid” which can’t be a smart move. She’s got the body for OF and has to be a solid pipe plank though. The future is bright.
I saw her talking to Chief’s portrait.
SCREEN TEST FOR “THE RETURN OF THE ADDAMS FAMILY”
IT’LL BE LIKE FAMILY AGAIN DOING COVERAGE WORK
Is that what he meant by being an expert? Expert coverage?
The funny thing about this blog is the people think Criminal actually matters. It’s a career ender for most judges. And most of the lawyers want to retire but can’t—having to support multiple spouses and kids and working until they die.
IM LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
ASSISTED LIVING
Expert witness for attorney fees. That’s a contingency agreement too? I can exaggerate the fees and get reimbursed after the judge reduced but 10-15% of that recovery ain’t bad.
A great man doesn’t seek to lead. He’s called to it.
A lesson Tuter never learned.
Don’t look for integrity in that mole
They make more than most federal workers.
Federal Judges will be held accountable by Musk, and so should those in state.
Where’s Desantis?
Is he Maga or not?
Trump’s supplicants in Congress control the pursestrings for the federal judiciary so I agree and don’t see why they shouldn’t be held accountable like the little federal employees getting screwed now but nothing will happen at the State level so shut up.
Actually they don’t. Article III does.
Congress sets salaries
Otherwise Thomas etc would be paying themselves 2 mil per
Those salaries under Article III can never be reduced. Far be it from a lawyer to actually read the U.S. Constitution.
It’s obvious. But what about the part about cutting seniors?
Then they can just retire at full salary lol so you’ve solved nothing.
Elon and President should end Senior Status ASAP!
Senior status is a semi-retirement option for federal judges who meet certain age and service requirements. Judges can take senior status at age 65 with 15 years of service, or any combination of age and service that adds up to 80.
Eligibility:
Be at least 65 years old
Have served at least 10 years on the bench
Meet the “Rule of 80”
Benefits:
Continue to receive full salary and benefits
Receive annual cost-of-living increases
Maintain a staffed office and chambers
Responsibilities:
Handle at least a quarter of the caseload of an active judge to qualify for future salary increases
Can choose to handle a reduced caseload
Can decide the types of cases they handle
Full salary and benefits? For 1/4 work? Seriously?
They make a lot : $247,400
Pfffft
‘Not all bureaucrats are created equal’
/ Napoleon Bubba
Now you know the reason, bottom feeder lawyers are always on this blog, crying about judges. They have nothing, and would give their left nut to be a judge, with all the benefits.
Chump change !
Only unsuccessful spuds that can’t make it in private practice want to be judges. Then they become miserable with the chump change and get nasty but can’t think of what else to do but suck off taxpayers for as long as they can and don’t perform the way they should. Plenty of examples around here. Losers in Black.
How stupid are you? It’s not a law written anyplace that judges have to log their time.
Stupid Maga, Doge idiots.
Unemployed?
IT IS NOW
GOVERNOR DESANTIS HAS HEARD OUR CRY
TUTER’S GETTING OUT BEFORE FLORIDA DOGE CLEANS HOUSE
PUT FLORIDA JUDGES TO WORK 40 HOURS A WEEK
THANK U GOVERNOR FOR SAVING FLORIDA TAXPAYERS
He’ll have lots of fat to trim in Broward Courts !!!!!
Tooty is skipping out just in time.
desantis must be reading jaab 🙂
I highly doubt it, he don’t have time for people that are green with envy. You couldn’t win an election, you will never be a judge, and you will always be to broke to retire.
It doesn’t surprise me at all that now that Tuter has served his two terms as CJ with his head in the sand, that he’s now going skip out once again without having accomplished anything but provide cover for a bunch of judges who likewise do as little as they can get away with. Empty courtrooms and lax schedules have become the standard for Broward Judges.
I have no doubt that should Judicial schedules be looked at carefully, that we could make due with half the judges we have now and at least half the judicial staff.
methinks ja’s are gonna be picking up the phone for the foreseeable future 🙂
Not a chance ja’s have become the most obnoxious and power hungry people since I can’t remember the old hags protecting the Hollywood judges. If you didn’t kiss their ass you never got on motion calendar or a special set. Such hags. And the judges laughed but that whole group was in kahoots just as the Fort Lauderdale los olas judges are now.
The place stinks
Ever try and file pleading in the clerks office. What a joke take a number, no we don’t take numbers, and I only stamp in supplemental pleadings, no summons issued here. Next window please. Talk about maybe cross training the employees and having them cross dressing
Just saying
When is the courthouse and Fort Lauderdale Police Department gonna fall down because of structural concrete cracks that are not integral to the integrity of the structure?
And the same contractors one way or another.
PuuuuLlllEeeAaaseee
ITS MY BREAK TIME
THE ROLLER COASTER OF JUDICIAL DYSFUNCTION
You’re saying the Republicans let the Commies have Ukraine?
Now you understand why what I did was necessary.
Who is that?Is that Glupkin?
WHAT TIME DO THEY ARRIVE
WHEN DO THEY LEAVE
WHAT DOES THE CHIEF JUDGE DO ABOUT IT
WHAT DO THEY DO ALL DAY
Obviously piss you off is what they do to you 24/7😭 If you had any clients, and was making any money, you wouldn’t care.
Non of your f**king business loser. Get a life, and stop sticking your nose where it don’t belong. Do you really have that much free time? Try to find a innocent client, you can screw over and get sent to prison again. Maybe if you had your sick mind on what you were doing, you could be a better lawyer, but I doubt it. You need to retire old man. It just sucks, you can’t afford to.
Just check the judge’s parking lot to point the finger of blame for empty courtrooms and missing judges to find the answer to cutting waste. Judges in Broward don’t do squat unless you count dodging work.
Why don’t they open up the judges parking lot to the public to use because all the judges are at home zooming.
Today’s judiciary isn’t full of one trick pony brain dead types like it was in the past.
Why can’t the CJ make sure the work is evenly distributed? I mean most of the people I know on the bench aren’t lazy, and they’re smart.
Why wouldn’t they share workloads and handle all types of cases?
If someone has everything wash out, why would they go home instead of picking up either a civil or criminal matter when there’s so much to do system wide?
It never made any sense when year after year they’d ask for new judicial positions when the old ones weren’t utilized efficiently.
I’m no Musk fan but maybe this’s a good thing to make Administration finally show some leadership and behave efficiently by making sure everyone has something to do every single day until 5 pm???
It’s amazing how little some work while they’ve also been spending a fortune bringing in retired judges to cover stuff.
CLP needs to immediately ditch all the Sr Judges.
JT’s still running the Dale Ross system, that’s always been the problem.
The Dale Ross System? Wasn’t that a70’s funk outfit out of North Miami?
JT is nowhere near the CJ Dale Ross was. Judge’s hated Dale because he held them accountable.
JT let’s the inmates run the asylum and they take advantage of it. An AO from JT to the judicial staff means nothing but scratch paper
NANCY
If they audit the Satellites there’s gonna be hell to pay.
The founder of this blog screamed bloody murder when the Bar and clerk Forman were trying to silence him but it seems he is a hypocrite. But hey spoiled entitled girlie boys with silver spoons usually protect their fellow club members and be damned with being judged by the company one keeps.
AG Bondi has the Epstein file on her desk. Once Trumps name is cleaned up it will be front page news as it should be!
A movement comprised of brave victims, dads, brothers, boyfriends and husbands will not be silenced who are bonded by their detest of child sex abuse and trafficking. Anyone who tries to assist in silencing legitimate criticism and outing of folks who defend and profit from enabling the perpetrators of such heinous acts against young girls need to be outed as well.
Its a rightous movement and trying to stop individuals who have the courage to speak truth to power will have about as much luck as one would sticking a finger in a crack to stop a dyke ready to burst
Nobody takes my pic without my say so …
BABY GIRL MAKES ME PROUD
My lucky number 7
That chick’s got some DSLs on her
It seems like its time for another JAAB Walk to set the record straight. Empty courtrooms will tell the story.
BROWARD JUDGES WAITING IN FOR VALET PARKING TO HEAD HOME BEFORE LUNCH
Trump’s tanking the stock market too.
THE LOOK OF TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME
The Pudding Store in Dover—The secret backroom. So-called. Bi-partisan. Yes. They don’t cover their tracks very well. The mimeographs and microfilm may not leave a digital footprint but they exist. Same as above.
The Pudding Store files were discredited as fakes in the mid 90’s.
https://nypost.com/2023/11/28/lifestyle/nycs-most-inexplicable-dessert-shop-rice-to-riches-expands/
Owner Peter Moceo Jr.’s brush with the law in 2005 — he was arrested for running a $21 million-a year sports gambling ring — spawned theories about the pudding shop being a front for unsavory activities. The rumors have persisted for years.
If they were discredited then why are there so many mattress stores? 🤔
Pudding Store files section 47. watch out for combobulation area freezes.
The deep freezes?
They could’nt get the microchip out without killing the dog?
Nostradumus wrote the storm would be upon us when ‘the thespian’s creature is taken by vandals.’
The whole thing’s a tragedy but let’s not lose sight of Hackman’s poignant performance in Lies My Father Told Me, directed by Broward’s very own Harry Gulkin. Hackman was great in so many things but his work under Gulkin’s direction is widely credited as a breakthrough performance for Gene.
That was back when there was so much drug money flowing around South Florida that a lawyer could produce a half way decent movie assuming they had the storytelling chops that Glupkin possessed and used to attract talent like Gene Hackman.
Anyone know who’s getting this year the Bacdl Henry Gulpman Award? It announced?
IM ON THE SHORT LIST FOR A GLUPKIN
Wrong Gulkin
Harvey Gulkin was a lawyer, judge, not a filmmaker.
Wrong actor. Gene Wilder was in Lies My Father Told Me. Not Gene Hackman.
Isn’t this the Gulkin attorney?
Why don’t the County Judges handle the ticket cases like they’re supposed to instead of paying for the magistrate programs.
It’s no secret the County Judges have plenty of free time.
Why not DOGE the magistrate traffic nonsense programs?
Why???????????
What’s relief week?
IM CRAWLING BACK TO DADDY FOR TIPS
Its no secret. Judges in Broward carry very light workloads while crying they need more judges. When its looked into, the abuse of public funds is outrageous. The only reason they seek these positions is because of the benefits and no judicial oversight. Its a free for all with no administration of Judicial assets to the point that its laughable.
MILKING IT FOR ALL ITS WORTH IS THE PROGRAM
REMEMBERING LAZARUS
When you figure in taxes and the fact that judges have little to no write-offs, judges make chump change. The only lawyers who would want the jobs are desperate bean counters.
Pensioners. Plain and simple. But for people with little ambition (or drive) it’s a windfall.
I always believed the older lawyers with the skills made the best of the bench. They aren’t doing it for money, certainly. They’d set up their families, and then take the bench as a public service for less earnings. I think it all went south when the governors took over the nominating commissions. Then it became about patronage and also young prosecutors being first in line. As far as elections are concerned on the other end of the judicial spectrum—-it’s a crapshoot.
Not a crapshoot, just a blackshoot.
You be black, Broward finna vote!
“In Broward, we care more bout how colorful our elected leaders are, than their competence”
Ah, yes!
Mayors voted based on skin color:
So wonderful
THERE’S MORE THAN ONE WAY TO PEAL AN ONION
DID SOMEBODY SAY BEANS ?
How could you possibly know what write-offs a judge has?
The stock market is crumbling.
I’m going to seek leaner pastures …
CLOWN OUT
?
Diaz is the biggest clown to ever sit as judge in Broward !
I GOT MY ENCHILADAS WHILE TAKING A NAP 💤
Pulled Pork by definition …
It’s funny how little the bad ones matter. Once they leave. It’s like they never were there.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s behavior last night was atrocious. She needs to get voted out ASAP. A sorry democrat hack. Can’t even acknowledge the families that Trump acknowledged. Where did her heart and compassion go, obviously she has sold it to the Democratic Party. I’m embarrassed she is my congressional representative.
Good Riddance DWS along with AOC and Talib and the rest of the Squad.
MAGA hates eating what they dish out, as evidenced by their tiny penis syndrome attitudes and their vindictive nature.
But non, MAGAts don’t fear. They may have Adolf & his biotch Eva Musk at the helm now, but Madam Karma will have her way and dump that swamp trash soon enough. It is we’ll with the wait.
(I ain’t no Dem or Lib, Swampland’s SOP go to whine)
DOGE IS COMING OUR WAY
JUDICIAL TIME AUDITS NEEDED IN BROWARD
Question what judicial time? If I had to work in the main courthouse, I wouldn’t report to work either. Is it structurally intact, let’s ask Stiles n the Crew?
That place is a walking joke escalators don’t work elevators don’t work toilets don’t work employees don’t work JA s don’t work judges don’t work
The only ones that seem to work are the BSO people.
Why work when you can sleep your way through it ?
TACOS MAKE ME SLEEPY
Diaz looks really bad. Of course the black shoe polish hair dye doesn’t do him any good either. He’s blown up like he’s full of gas.
What kind of person would threaten a fellow Judge anonymously by email, particularly a great Judge like Judge Seidman? A rotten shame this Diaz person was allowed to remain sitting in judgement of others by the gutless JQC.
I WARNED YOU ABOUT TACO BOB
Both Seidman and Diaz are both small time scumbags
MORE LIKE CHUMPS
IM OFF THIS RIDE
Only his health would keep him off that wagon
What’s Sweaty Bob going to do now that he’s retired besides continue to campaign for that idiot Brenda Forman to keep his wife on the dole ?
IT’S FOR SHOES DUMMY!
