Looking for theocrats for the bench (cont.)
A follow-up on Miami Daily Biz Review's story on inappropriate questioning of judicial candidates. (Posted on Law.com, so you don't have to register.)
A Florida Bar panel will consider this morning whether members of a judicial nominating commission appointed by Gov. Jeb Bush asked judicial candidates in Broward County questions that were sexually discriminatory or were political or religious litmus tests.
A Jeb appointee was clearly looking for a theocrat and dubious of women in the workplace. He asked if candidates could balance maternal and judicial duties and whether they are "God-fearing" and active in their church.
