Reject Florida justices

Re: Vote ‘yes’ to retain all five Florida Supreme Court justices | Opinion

-

I had a hard time believing that someone, particular­ly a former Florida Supreme Court justice, would have the gall to write a column putting forward the idea that the current justices are apolitical and not partisan. If ever an idea was a fantasy, this is it.

I feel that Justice Jorge Labarga is a fair and conscienti­ous jurist, but the other four have proven themselves to be political in the extreme and have repeatedly supported Gov. DeSantis’s culture-war policies without regard to their constituti­onality, fairness or precedent.

The idea that these four should be retained because they are competent and nonpartisa­n is ludicrous to the extreme, and they all deserve to be rejected. I pray Floridians have the good sense to do that.
