Voters? I don’t care about what the voters want unless they want what I want!
What a piece of shit. Honestly this is a case where you want karma to be real and you want to see these people fail but that isn't how reality works. I wonder how people like that judge and DeSantis sleep at night. >

Likely very comfortably unfortunately. It's easier when you don't trifle with ethics. >


Jared Smith, the Hillsborough circuit judge whom voters ousted in August after his controversial ruling in an abortion case, won’t have to hang up his judicial robe after all.
Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed Smith to fill one of the three vacancies Tuesday on the newly created 6th District Court of Appeal, which will be based in Lakeland. Smith’s appointment will take effect Jan. 1.
Smith lost the August election for his judicial seat to Tampa attorney Nancy Jacobs. The unusually contentious race saw abortion loom as a key issue.
