The Florida Supreme Court has a dismissed a case that focused on whether the governor or his successor has the power to appoint three new justices. However, the decision isn’t a definitive ruling on whether the authority to select the new justices is vested in Scott or the winner of the 2018 gubernatorial election. The League of Women Voters and Common Cause filed the lawsuit in June, asking the court to prohibit Scott from filling any judicial vacancies that occur due to terms expiring in January 2019. Governor Scott has said he plans to appoint three Supreme Court justices before he leaves office.
