ANNALS OF DeSANTISTAN: Florida Gov. DeSantis is upset over newly confirmed 'leftist judge'. (NSoF, November 25, 2024)

Our feckless erstwhile former Congressman from St. Johns County is making a silly spectacle of himself again.  This creepy corporate creature of corruption was once a maladroit associate at the liberal HOLLAND & KNIGHT law firim, which once represented eighteen of us against the City of St. Augustine. As a maladroit Governor, DeSANTIS is scripted by fascists, for fascists. This hobbledehoy in our employe seems utterly untethered to truth and disconnected to reality.  This phony-baloney Kulturkampf culture warrior blathers and abuses the term "leftist" to targrush a new judge on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. DeSANTIS's rank ridiculous rhetoric is redolent of the eau de KOCH INDUSTRIES.  Boy Governor RONALD DION DeSANTIS could not carry a single county in the 2024 Iowa Republican Primary. Ouch.  Burning through cash, acting like an ass, DeSANTIS lost in Iowa Faster than you can sing, "Ee eye Ee Eye OH!"  As I told a former Iowan last year, "The people of Iowa are good people and they won't vote for DeSANTIS."  Neither should we.  It's time for him to go.

DeSantis expressed displeasure after the U.S. Senate on Monday confirmed a judge for a seat on the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which handles cases from Florida, Georgia and Alabama. 

The Senate voted 49-45 to confirm Embry Kidd, and DeSantis was among Republicans who quickly called out GOP senators who skipped the vote.

“This leftist judge would have been voted down and the seat on the important 11th circuit would have been filled by Donald Trump next year had Republicans showed up,” DeSantis posted on X. “Now, the leftist judge will have a lifetime appointment and the people of FL, AL and GA will suffer the consequences.” 

Kidd was among more than a dozen judicial nominees Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., prioritized for advancement before Democrats lose control of the Senate in January. 

Among the Republican senators who didn’t vote were Vice President-elect JD Vance of Ohio and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who has been nominated by Trump to serve as U.S. Secretary of State. 

Kidd has been a magistrate judge in the federal Middle District of Florida in Orlando since 2019. 

President Joe Biden nominated Kidd for the appeals court in May. A graduate of Yale Law School, Kidd previously was an assistant U.S. attorney in the Middle District.

So by default he's admitting that he'd like to see right wing judges on the bench... who do the most that they can to ruin people's lives for as long as they can. How does that vibe with "free state of Florida" and making America great again? How does making people flee the state make America great again?
