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

A former appellate judge has urged the Florida Supreme Court to compel Gov. Ron DeSantis to fill a judicial vacancy left by a resignation, noting that the delay exceeds the 60-day limit set by the Florida Constitution. The judge highlighted a troubling pattern of DeSantis's delays in appointing judges, which is now the second instance of such prolonged inaction. This situation underscores concerns about the administration's handling of judicial appointments and raises questions about the potential impact on the state's legal system and public trust in the judiciary.
