Renatha Francis falsely certified on her application to join the Florida Supreme Court that she’s never been on the receiving end of an ethics complaint, a possible crime under Florida law.

Francis, a family court judge in West Palm Beach said to be Gov. Ron DeSantis’s favorite for the job, answered “No” when asked: “Has a complaint about you ever been made to the Judicial Qualifications Commission?” If so, the applicant must provide details to the JQC, a state agency that investigates allegations of judicial misconduct.

Francis signed the application which she submitted to the Supreme Court Judicial Nominating Commission, declaring she answered all questions “truthfully, fully and completely.”

In fact, at least one – and as many as three – JQC complaints have been filed against Francis. Florida Bulldog detailed one of those complaints, filed by Angela Bentrim of Loxahatchee, last week.

2. Prediction

She is confirmed by a wide margin.
The Rule of Law no longer applies in this Country.

6. This is exactly what is going to happen.

3. It'll go one of two ways

She claims that she was never informed about the complaints (that were ultimately rejected by the commission as being without cause), but the law says she must be informed so it depends if the commission has records that they notified her.

Or it’s valid and easily proven and she withdraws her application.

Regardless if she withdrawals or not, Desantis can just nominate another far-right nut and business will continue as usual, they have a deep bench here.

5. This is typical. People lie because there are no consequences.

If they are part of the inside circle, no one is going to go after them.
