Florida Supreme Court says DeSantis exceeded his authority in naming new justice

[In It to Win It]

In a stunning rebuke to Gov. Ron DeSantis, the Florida Supreme Court on Thursday said the governor exceeded his authority when he appointed Renatha Francis to the high court by selecting the Palm Beach judge to the post before she was eligible but also said, as of now, nothing will change.

In a 5-0 ruling, the court agreed with Democratic state Rep. Geraldine Thompson, who filed the lawsuit claiming that the governor’s appointment of Francis in May was unlawful because Francis had not been a member of The Florida Bar for 10 years as required by the Florida Constitution.

“In a nutshell, when a governor fills by appointment a vacant judicial office, the appointee must be constitutionally eligible for that office at the time of the appointment,’’ wrote Justice Carlos G. Muñiz, himself a DeSantis appointee to the court, who authored the opinion.
