You should be ashamed of yourself for blocking a vital piece of legislation that would’ve held social media giants accountable for their unethical criminal actions against private citizens. You’re a criminal for protecting such tyrannical corporations that are consistently working in the shadows against the Constitution and the American People. Know this, many people know it, just because the DHS released a document supporting propaganda against real Americans under the guise of domestic terrorism — doesn’t make it legitimate in the eyes of Yeshua HaMashiach or any educated citizen for that matter that stands against international corruption.

Hinkle was a great judge for many years, but he's starting to show signs of being on the bench too long. He has become cranky and impatient. He is now impulsive and not near as thoughtful as he once was. He is more establishment oriented. Grants a lot of improper summary judgments for those with wealth and power.

One of the top judges in Florida.

A bit quick to anger and not quite as knowledgeable as he thinks, but overall will give a fair trial.

Hinkle actually reads what is submitted and shows familiarity with it. His rulings are grounded in the record and the law. He is not afraid of work and has not been guilty of the docket-clearing improprieties one sees in other courts.

He will put an unscrupulous attorney in his place.

A bit too heavy on courtroom decorum.

A brilliant judge, but also evenhanded and willing to upbraid the government and defense counsel appropriately. I had the pleasure of trying a case with Judge Hinkle several years ago, and I can say that he was extremely knowledgable and fair.
