Pardon me for being a Florida (phile) but why would a judge want to go from the Florida supreme court to the 11th circuit? The prestige of the former is greater than that of the latter. On the supreme court, you are the final arbiter of all legal issues about Florida while in the 11th, you are basically anonymous and sending out screeds about the more arcane points of the FLSA and rubber stamping sentences that you know in your heart are travesties of justice.
I sort of agree with 746 am. One can speculate that if POTUS 45 is re-elected then before the world freezes over (because he said it’s getting colder not hotter) then they have their eyes on residency in DC because there is only so many times RGB can beat cancer. There is a really good deli near the Supreme Court for breakfast and lunch. We’ve moved for less than great deli.
Chuck Canady must be pissed. Guess he missed his chance. I bet he retires within 18 months now.
Kind of a slap in the face to N. Fla. Florida's actives on the 11th now, assuming these two are confirmed, would be 4 out of 5 from Miami (Jordan, Rosenbaum, Lagoa, Luck) and one from Tampa (Wilson).
US Circuit Judge is more prestigious than Fla SCt Justice.
It just is.
Also, this is grooming for a S Ct appointment for one of the two of them.
Powerful connections - check
Federalist Society - check

Prosecutors - check

And it could lead to the Supreme Court in the future
A possible SCOTUS nomination? Color me old school, but only a first rate ass kisser would start planning his/her career trajectory by believing such tripe. And for what? So you get to live in a glass bubble with your every trip to the men's room analyzed with a microscope and your Amazon Prime wish list poured over by a panel from the APA? No thanks. I would rather spend my Friday afternoons getting lit up at the local gin mil in Tallahassee and then working it off with a round of golf and a $10 Nassau on Saturday morning at the local public links.
Sorry, folks, but no credible argument exists that the Florida Supreme Court is more prestigious than the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. None.
In other news, judge Scola down-rates the loss in the scandal-plagued Esformes Trial and sentences defendant to 20 years for the Bribery-kickback convictions while the Jury hung on the Substantive (fraud) charges.

I still can't believe how Scola threw the magistrate under the bus and rolled over on the misconduct findings.
Luck for Supreme Court, World Court, Galactic Court. He must have naked pics of Melania
All you really need to be a judge in florida is a hs degree
