Florida Supreme Court Justices Barbara Lagoa and Robert Luck are still receiving an outpouring of support Friday, one day after President Donald Trump selected them to serve on the powerful federal 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. Here’s what they are saying:

John M. Stewart, president of The Florida Bar

“Justices Barbara Lagoa and Robert Luck have served Florida well as lawyers and jurists, and both are highly qualified to provide their knowledge and expertise to the entire country. It is well-known throughout Florida that they have repeatedly demonstrated the ability to apply the law to reach fair and just outcomes. I am excited about their continued public service to our state and now possibly to our country. I want to thank them for their service on behalf of the lawyers of Florida and wish them much continued success in their future judicial service.”
 
Dori Foster-Morales, president-elect of The Florida Bar

“I have known both justices as local attorneys and now as members of Florida’s highest court for many years and I am absolutely thrilled with this announcement. They were excellent appointments to the Florida Supreme Court and, personally and professionally, I am certain that both are exceptional human beings and highly skilled jurists who will always be a tribute to any court they serve.”
 
Michelle R. Suskauer, immediate past president of The Florida Bar

“Justices Lagoa and Luck have long been two of the brightest stars in the South Florida legal community and both are eminently qualified choices for the U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. Justice Lagoa’s impressive and diverse experience at the highest levels of both the public and private sectors inform her deep insight and broad perspective on the legal issues she would face on the Court. Justice Luck is well known for having exceptional temperament, experience, and intellect, and he will undoubtedly will serve the Court with the highest distinction.”

Hillarie Bass, immediate past president of the American Bar Association

”Barbara Lagoa will be a wonderful 11th Circuit Judge. I have worked with Barbara since she was a young lawyer and followed her momentous elevations at every step of her career. At each position she has held, she has represented the professionalism, integrity, legal judgment and personal commitment to excellence that makes the legal profession so proud to have her as our member. Those of use who have had the privilege of working with her over the course of her spectacular career are so proud to have had the opportunity to in some small way have contributed to her success.”

I love doing Emini S&P Trading Secret method it really works you should be able to find it just Google “Emini S&P Trading Secret”.

Naturally, GOP tribal members support other GOP tribal members. That's what the tribe is all about. Republicans puffing up Republicans. What else is new?

Judges are the number one reason I voted for Trump.

You sure it wasn't because of his hair and skin tone???

There is no appointment that that corrupt, philandering, lying, slobpigdog coward and traitor in the White House has ever made or that he can make that is not tainted with the POISON of his name.

Too bad that won't fit on a t-shirt! It's awesome! LOL

You represent the hate-filled Democrat party very well. You can take your Democrat party of hate and shove it. All Americans should walk away from your left-wing hate.

Yeah, a LOT of intelligent, thinking, reasonable, and responsible people could learn to "hate" a racist, a pathological liar, a serial cheater, a demonstrated con artist, and a monumental fraudster ... just like a lot of people came to "hate" Mussolini, for example!

I wish I was a top legal observer. But, I kinda just go along with Shakespeare's take on lawyers.
