Thwarting Judicial Activism: “Keep Florida Justices or kick them out?”

The Orlando Sentinel asks the question and conservatives know the answer.

Restore Justice 2012 — led by one of today’s Front Burner columnists,
Jesse Phillips — is urging voters to remove the three justices.
Phillips and other critics of the justices contend their decisions have
been bad for Florida.

Defenders of the justices — including
today’s other columnist, former Democratic legislator Dick Batchelor —
argue that efforts like Phillips’ are politically motivated, and would
compromise the court’s independence if they succeed.
The three justices are the only ones left who were appointed by a Democrat, former Gov. Lawton Chiles. The court has angered Republicans in recent years with several decisions that thwarted GOP priorities.

Restore Justice is informing Florida voters on their right not to simply retain Florida Supreme Court justices.  Democrats are upset that voters might actually exercise their very limited and controlled right to choose the new members on the court because these members are liberal judicial activists.  Republicans should remember the actions of activist Democrats on the Florida Supreme Court in 2000.  If you are seeking a more conservative judicial temperament to replace the non-stop judicial activism, you should vote “no” on whether to retain the
current justices.
