The Supreme Court is expected to hear arguments in a high-profile suit about whether or not Gov. Rick Scott can replace three justices on the day he leaves office.
- Suit brought up by League of Women Voters
- 3 justices are facing mandatory retirement
The suit brought by the League of Women Voters is challenging the governor's plan to appoint three new Supreme Court Justices in January 2019.
Three liberal-leaning justices are facing mandatory retirement, with their terms set to expire on the day Scott leaves and the next governor is inaugurated.
However, the question is which governor should have the privilege of remaking the court in his or her image.
