Considered the greatest state court in Miami Dade County’s checkered history of judges, the great Judge Ed Cowart passed away on this day in 1987.
We remember him well; his “bless your soul” responses to objections, and how he took to calling a lot of people “pardner”.
You may notice a few remarkable things about Judge Cowart: He wasn’t 35 years old when he was on the circuit bench; he didn’t just call balls and strikes; he spoke from the heart and was brilliant- all qualities of no-importance to the federalist society cabal of DeSantis gum-smacking judges.
This dear readers, was a JUDGE. Take note.
