“The barn door is open,” Allison DeFoor, former vice-chairman of the Republican Party, said in an interview after speaking at the Federalist Society panel
discussion on the state’s system of merit appointment and retention of
appeals court jurists. “You have a system now where everybody seems to
be unhappy with it, which tells me it’s probably crying out for being
reformed.”

…”You can’t trivialize the facet that people understand that they’ve got
the vote here,” said DeFoor, a Wakulla state committeeman who was the
GOP nominee for lieutenant governor in 1990. “You can’t trivialize that
judicial activism is something that the court itself has been accused of
by dissenting justices. This is not made-up stuff.”

Link to the story in Florida Current.  It appears the Florida voter may decide to self-reform the court before the elites have the opportunity to fix a broken politicized system.
