PT Law's Jason Poblete responded yesterday to a question from POLITICO - a DC news organization - on recent comments by Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen to Time magazine that "I love Fidel Castro":

South Florida is home to the largest Cuban-American community in the United States; many victims of Cuba's torture chambers and political prisons live there. The Cuban regime is made up of some very bad people who have done some very atrocious things and continue to do so. It was a reckless thing to say anywhere, but in Miami especially and his suspension is a lenient response. It should have been a lot more. His apology is not genuine, cannot be after the affirmative and clear statement that he made.

In Wednesday's edition of Roll Call newspaper, Poblete Tamargo Attorney Jason Poblete was quoted in a story about the political impact of legislative procedures being used in the U.S. House of Representatives to debate and approve legislation to fund the federal government through the fall: 

"The pledge, of course, is a political, not a legal, document. That means the repercussions of breaking it — or being perceived as doing so — will be political, too, said Jason Poblete, a former Republican staffer who worked alongside Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) in the office of McCarthy's predecessor, Rep. Bill Thomas (R). "The voters will decide when [or] if we broke them," Poblete said.
