NEWS Governor Crist Rejects Most Qualified Judge for Florida Supreme Court

[lukem]

Today's appointment of Circuit Judge James Perry to the Florida Supreme Court is a disappointment to Florida gun owners. Gun owners across Florida sent thousands of emails to Governor Crist urging him to appoint Appellate Judge Alan Lawson, the nominee who was clearly the most qualified to serve on the Court.

We need judges who respect all our freedoms -- especially our Second Amendment freedoms. We need judges who will strictly uphold the entire Constitution and not legislate from the bench.

Of the four candidates under consideration, Judge Alan Lawson was the ONLY candidate we could trust with our rights, our freedoms and our values.

We are disappointed that Governor Crist failed to appoint the most qualified nominee for this critical position.

It's a shame our elected officials never seem to care what thousands of emails to their office are asking them to do. It seems they have no idea who voted them into office and who they really work for. They are there just to do as they please, nothing more.

They just don't get it.
