You can see the videos from the courthouse here.

Zloch dropped the ball (pun intended) when Fed. Gov had money to allocate to new fed ct in Ft Laud several years ago. We do not need the lavishness of the Miami courthouse. One like Ft Pierce would be fine. You can make jokes about it, but important work gets done there and they should build a courthouse that can last more than 20-30 years.

ReplyDeleteUh, Obamacare was a Republican idea before a Democrat was elected President.
ReplyDeleteOh, well then it will totally be implemented without any problems at all.
