Florida Rep. Scott Plakon Seeks State Police Probe of Supreme Court 'Electioneering'
Sunshine State News ^ | 4/29/12 | FLFreedom

Not buying the "financial disclosure" rationale presented by the legal counsel for three state Supreme Court justices, a Republican lawmaker wants the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to investigate whether public employees and resources were used to assist them in electioneering.

Rep. Scott Plakon, R-Longwood, sent a letter to Gov. Rick Scott calling for the investigation. He cited Florida Statute 106.15 which reads “A candidate may not, in the furtherance of his or her candidacy for nomination or election to public office in any election, use the services of any state, county, municipal, or district officer or employee during working hours.”

So he wants a public-service employee investigation by unionized public-service employees? I got to send this guy a rope for his urination requirements.

Here’s an interesting tidbit- all three of these judges were appointed by DemocRAT Governors.

As of 2000, all but one of the Florida Supremes were appointed by Rats, while the one was “independent” — They worked hard to give Algore everything he wanted.

FL Supremos are 5-2 whack-job Leftists and judicial tyrants.

Nail ‘em.

And they violated the FL law they swore to uphold. Our Framers designed the Presidential electoral system to avoid algore types of shenanigans. They should have been impeached and tossed.
