Oral Majority, along with other activist groups opposing what they call George W. Bush's “stolen” electoral victory, is urging Floridians to file complaints with the Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission, citing specifically “Canon 2: A Judge Shall Avoid Impropriety and the Appearance of Impropriety in all of the Judge's Activities; and Canon 7: A Judge or Candidate for Judicial Office Shall Refrain from Inappropriate Political Activity." A judge or justice may be impeached and removed "by the Florida Legislature or by the Judicial Qualifications Commission and the Florida Supreme Court" for violating the state's Code of Judicial Conduct.
Free Republic, according to Sauls' and Harris' critics, is the same group that disrupted and stopped Miami-Dade's vote count ordered during the hotly contested Election 2000. The Oral Majority's chair, Bob Kunst, referred to the to the threatening conservative group on that occasion as “a Right Wing Rent-a-Mob paid for by Verizon.” In an April 12 letter to the Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission, Kunst wrote: “We are demanding the impeachment of Judge Saul for violating the Code of Judicial Conduct and demand his immediate removal.” |
