Improper Judicial Questioning in Florida

Update: Our apologies to all. We forgot to include the link to the article quoted from below. We were offline all day and just received an email telling us about it. The article is in today's Miami Business Review and it's called Not Taken On Faith.

original post

Are you thinking of applying to become a judge in Florida? Get ready for questions like these:

  • "Will you be able to balance your duties as a single mother of twins with your duties as a Broward judge?"

Applicants have also been asked:

  • Whether they are active in their church.
  • Whether the candidate is a "God-fearing person."
  • How they feel about the U.S. Supreme Court's 2003 ruling striking down a Texas law criminalizing homosexual activity.
  • How they would feel about having the Ten Commandments posted in their courtroom.

All of the members of the Judicial Nominating Commission were appointed by Jeb Bush.
