Winner: Jason Reding Quiñones
The Senate Judiciary Committee advanced Reding Quiñones’ nomination to lead the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida.
With Republicans controlling the Senate, the Donald Trump nominee is likely to be cleared by the full body soon.
Loser: Broward Judges
What’s going on in the Broward County court system? Judge Mardi Levey Cohen was suspended for 10 days after peddling unverified information about a campaign opponent.
That follows the Judicial Qualifications Commission targeting Judge Lauren Peffer, also for pushing bad info during a campaign, and of course the ongoing Judge Gary Farmer saga.
