DeSantis foe asks Supreme Court to make sure governor sticks to the Constitution in his next judicial picks

By Noreen Marcus, FloridaBulldog.org

Gov. Ron DeSantis may be obliged to take direction from the Florida Supreme Court before he names judges to new seats on two state appeals courts.

Earlier this month, state Sen. Geraldine Thompson, D-Windermere, and Orlando attorney Whitney Boan asked the high court to prevent the governor from picking any of seven short-listed candidates for the new Sixth District Court of Appeal in Polk County or the reconfigured Fifth District Court in Volusia County.
