May 11, 2009, Ocala Star Banner, “Petition against Crist generates discussion on equality”
“It seems to me the Governor is trying to run some type of affirmative action in every judicial appointment and I don’t necessarily think that’s a desirable thing on the merits…. He’s trying to make some kind of diversity statement.”
Little was quoted speaking on the lawsuit brought by retiring appellate Judge Robert J. Pleus Jr. against Gov. Crist for not choosing Pleus’ replacement from a list of six names provided by an independent panel of judges.
