Former Chief Judge of the SDFLA,
Federico Moreno, has made Donald Trump's
short-list for Supreme Court Justices. I love it. Judge Moreno, who has been a district judge since 1990, would make a fantastic Justice. He's smart, witty, engaging, and an all around good guy.
He would be the first Supreme Court Justice to be a:
- Floridian
- Venezuelan
- former practicing criminal defense lawyer
- former assistant federal defender
- UM law grad
He's also been a state court judge and a practicing lawyer. He currently serves on the Executive Committee of the Courts.
Other notables on the list include Charles Canady, a current Florida Supreme Court Justice.
