"Will you be able to balance your duties as a single mother of twins with your duties as a Broward judge?"
That was the question Broward County Assistant Public Defender Jayme Cassidy says she was asked by a member of the 15th Judicial Circuit Judicial Nomination Commission during her two judicial screening interviews in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

and later on in the article, this;

"In 2001, Bush appointed Dozier, a black Republican, to the Broward JNC for a two-year term, and reappointed him to a four-year term last year. Dozier said he did not particularly want to be on the JNC, but was nominated by a group of black leaders in the community. "I didn't think I'm qualified for the JNC," he said. "I don't practice law. I thought it should be made up of practicing lawyers."

But now that he's on the JNC, he isn't shy about pressing his views on judicial candidates. "This country is founded on the principles of Christianity, not the principles of Buddhism, not the principles of Judaism," the South Florida Sun-Sentinel quoted him as saying Nov. 30, 2003. "I don't believe the developers of the Constitution would want us to compromise our Christian values."

Dozier is vehemently opposed to homosexuality, which he called in the Nov. 27, 2003, issue of New Times Broward Palm Beach "something so nasty and disgusting that it makes God want to vomit."

Dozier said he has received complaints from "atheists" who heard about his line of religiously oriented questioning during JNC interviews. But he argues that religion belongs on the bench. "There is no such animal as separation of church and state in the Constitution," he said."

sorry, but knowing that this is the kind of person that has a behind the scenes hand in day to day governmental affairs, however small, makes me concerned for the future of this country. Another example of the Bush idea for America.

I found this, BTW when searching for info on yet another Ten Commandments monument, this time in Winston-Salem, NC
