Raquel (Rocky) Rodriguez comments on possible SCOTUS nominee
Barbara Lagoa in The Washington Post article, "Barbara Lagoa,
Cuban American judge, rises on Trump's Supreme Court list as
allies emphasize Florida campaign edge."
Others drew different lessons from the legal battle. Jeb
Bush's former general counsel, Raquel A. Rodriguez, who helped
oversee the vetting process that put Lagoa on the Miami-based 3rd
District Court of Appeal, said the [Elian Gonzalez] episode showed
Lagoa's determination.
"She must have worked day and night on that,"
Rodriguez said. "She truly believed that this little boy
deserved to grow up in freedom, which is what his mother wanted for
him. It weighs on her to this day."
