I think the best path to be a FSC Justice is being a good trial lawyer (courtroom experience and above average working knowledge of trial law) followed by a stint as a Judge. Once the individual proves themselves as a Judge and shows the important qualities of an appellate justice, they should then move up to an appellate court. Once they prove themselves as a good appellate justice, they should be considered for the FSC.

Another good route would be for a good appellate lawyer to be placed on an appellate panel. When that person proves themselves as an appellate justice, he/she then should be considered for FSC.

Whenever someone "leap-frogs", there is a much greater risk of incompetence. When appointments are made based on politics, there is a greater risk of incompetence. When there is too great turnover, things won't work well.

These are supposed to be non-partisan elections and jobs. But, they are not. Ideally, money, politics and influence either way should have no place. Outside influence and the FRP have ruined this.

It sounds like we are doomed once the current crop of Florida supreme court justices die off so we might as well just go ahead and vote them all out of office now and get it over with.

Rfenster you're missing the possibility that voters believe those justices are imposing their political views.....

I am not missing that point. People do feel that way. They have every right to. They are free to vote however they choose- for whatever reason they choose. On the other hand, others feel the Justices are not imposing their views improperly. They are free to think, feel and vote how they choose too.

finally, there is a third group amongst a few others, who just don't want politics and influence to be a part of a non-partisan process. This is the very group I stand with.

Independence and non-bias are what is absolutely the most important thing for all to strive to protect. The political flavor of the day should not, IMO, have any bearing in this matter whatsoever. To be sure, there are plenty of outcomes I don't like, but if they are the result of valid legal analysis and application of laws and precedent to facts- that is far more important to me.

IF we were really serious...we'd solve the immigration issue.

1. End the "anchor baby" dilemma. We're the only nation that offers that. You're not a citizen from the US and have a kid here...congrats...now take you kid home. they're YOUR problem.

2. Instead of rounding up illegals like some "Planet of the Apes" movie...just shoot them. I'm not kidding. They would stop immediately if it started tomorrow. Other nations do it too.

3. Can't provide a valid drivers license, passport and birth certificate you don't get access to hospitals, jobs or education.

Feel free to add to this list but really if we're at the point where we're crying about not spending enough...we're spending waaaay too much and getting too little return for it. Teaching to a standardized test? That's insanity. The smart or gifted aren't rewarded. The stupid get a pass or get shoved on through. How many professional athletes cannot even READ? Please.
