You know what they say, be careful what you wish for...
It seems that as long as a Republican is doing the picking, it doesn't matter what cultural group a person belongs to, they all have the same autocratic perspective:

ST. PETERSBURG — Jorge Labarga, who fled his native Cuba as a boy after Fidel Castro seized power, on Friday became the second Cuban-American justice to serve on the Florida Supreme Court.

snip

In 2007, Labarga made remarks from the bench that raised questions about his judicial temperament.

"When you pick a fight with a judge, ultimately, you are going to lose," he said. "Not today, but five years from now, 10 years from now, six years from now. That judge is going to remember you always, always."

He's like a Cuban good ole boy!

Side note: Let me tell you, you don't know what "activist judge" means until you've seen a good ole boy judge operate in his local community.
