State Judicial Nominating Commission Forwards
Six (6) Nominees To Governor Ron DeSantis


Judicial Opening On The 5th DCA Is Due To
Judge Orfinger's Retirement

February 23, 2021
"It is the spirit and not the form of law that keeps justice alive." - Earl Warren


On February 1st & 2nd, 2021, VolusiaExposed.Com electronically attended via ZOOM, the vetting / interview process of Florida's 5th District Court of Appeal Judicial Nominating Commission (JNC).

The 5th DCA JNC is one of twenty-six (26) JNCs within the State Of Florida that send recommendations (nominees) to the governor's office for judicial appointments.

This particular judicial opening was due to Judge Richard Orfinger's recent retirement.

The JNC narrowed the list of judicial candidates to six (6) judicial nominees. These nominees' names were forwarded to Governor DeSantis for his final selection and appointment. (see right of web page) --->

VolusiaExposed wishes to extend our thanks to all of the 5th DCA JNC members (see below list) , they were all very approachable, and open with the neccessary records that are incorporated within this article.

Based on what was heard, and what was discussed during the interview process, these nominees are qualified to serve on the District Court of Appeal. We invite our readers to review the audio interviews and applications of the nominees (see bottom of this page).

Judicial Incest?


We do have a concern that two of the nominating commissioners have family members currently serving on the 5th DCA (Sasso (father-in-law / daughter-in-law) and Eisnaugle (spouses) - see below lists). This gives a Star-Chamber like appearance - that the 5th DCA is nothing more than a judicial clique - with entrance to the clique being closely controlled by "the family".

Some may even question whether certain 5th DCA judges, via familia proxies, are nefariously influencing judicial appointments - thereby making the 5th DCA nothing more than a judicial coven - spawn within the throes of several judicial incestual relationships.

Given the apparent level of judicial inbreeding - the concern of judges "legislating from the bench" - may be eclipsed by the much larger concern, that the DNA intregrity of our justice system is being mutated within the bedrooms, and at the supper tables of our societal elites.

After several decades of incest - should we really be surprised that our justice system has developed a few extra fingers and toes? Should we really still expect, that our justice system can provide us with honest due process of law - when the judicial selection process itself is being so heavily manipulated?


The Current Judges On The 5th DCA


Voter Disenfranchisement
"I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves." ~ Henry Kissinger, American Statesman

In the past (see below weblinked articles) this publication has questioned whether political officials have abused the Judicial Nominating Commission process by appointing judges based on their political positions, rather then their knowledge and devotion to the law.

THE FIX IS IN
HOW THE FLORIDA POLITICAL MACHINE CIRCUMVENTS JUDICIAL ELECTIONS

THE FOLLY OF POLITICAL PATRONAGE IN JUDICIAL APPOINTMENTS


As is discussed in a recent Sun-Sentinel editorial - Florida already selects all of it's DCA judges and Supreme Court justices via the JNC / gubernatiorial appointment process - subject to subsequent merit retention elections. However, the Sun-Sentinel editorial further enlightens the public to the fact that the Florida Constitutional Revision Commission wished to amend the Florida Constitution (via proposal 58) allowing ALL Florida judges (adding county court and circuit county judges) to be gubernatorial appointments, rather than being elected by the people of the State of Florida.

Currently - open county court and circuit county judicial positions can be filled by the JNC / gubernatorial appointment process - ONLY if the judicial opening transpires during a certain time frame from the next pending election cycle - absent that - the judicial opening is filled via the election process.

Here is the rub - there are members within the Florida power structure that hold the belief that the voting public can NOT be relied upon to properly select county and circuit court judges. An example of this - is how Volusia County Circuit Judge Joe Will manipulated his 2016 retirement - thus insuring that his seat would be filled by gubernatorial appointment.

In our April 22, 2016 article titled - "JUDICIAL DIRTY DEEDS - Done Dirt Cheap !- THE DISENFRANCHISEMENT OF THE LOCAL ELECTORATE we (VolusiaExposed.Com) provided the public with Judge Joe Will's internal email and resignation letter that plainly documents his "conspiracy" (our OPINION) with the governor's office to retire in a manner that would insure a gubernatorial appointment. Judge Will's April 8, 2016 internal email to his fellow judges clearly states - "Ultimately, I have decided to resign in such a manner that the seat known as Group 8 will be filled by appointment, not election".

We (VolusiaExposed.Com) agree with the Daytona Beach News Journal's April 17, 2016 editorial which stated - "You don’t have to read anything into the timing of Circuit Judge Joseph G. Will’s resignation to understand its intent. He has admitted he doesn’t trust voters to choose his replacement, and is willing to game the system to ensure he gets his way"..

Apparently, within proposal 58 - the Florida Constitution Revision Commission (FLCRC) was attempting to concrete Judge Will's desire that ALL judicial seats be filled by gubernatorial appointments.

We will let you know who the governor selects for this judicial appointment.

And there you have it - stand by to stand by, there is more to come of this...
