DeSantis is waiting too long to name judges, ex-judge tells FL Supreme Court

A former appellate judge and the ACLU petition the Florida Supreme Court to compel Gov. Ron DeSantis to fill a judicial vacancy beyond the 60-day constitutional deadline. The Judicial Nominating Commission submitted six nominees on March 17, but no appointment was made by May 18, violating the state constitution. The case references a 2009 precedent where a governor was ordered to fill a similar vacancy.
