TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- The Florida Supreme Court says Gov. Charlie Crist can't reject an all-white list of appeals court nominees, even though he wants to appoint someone who will make the judiciary more diverse.

The justices unanimously ruled Thursday that the Florida Constitution leaves Crist no choice but to pick one of the six white candidates submitted by a judicial nominating commission.

Crist refused to make an appointment to the Daytona Beach court after the commission refused to give him a more diverse slate. The 10-member court has no black judges.

Crist said he was disappointed by the ruling but respected it.

Justice Jorge Labarga wrote that the high court applauded Crist's "well-intentioned" interest in promoting diversity, but that the governor could not refuse making an appointment.

… in the past CO2 (or water) was pumped, at some cost, into depleting oil and gas fields to get out more. This will continue, but the taxpayer will contribute to these costs as the oil companies will be paid for taking the unwanted stuff off governments emission balance sheets! No wonder the oil companies are keen on CCS…

There I was thinking that Brother Crist was a blue-gum.
Regardless his pigmentation, he's trash.

He is the s**t that keeps floating to the top of florida politics.
Well, that is not all the way true...There is only s**t that seems to be floating up in florida politics these days.
I like his idea of buying land to protect it. Developers have destroyed the once pristine land of florida.
