Update to Florida Supreme Court Justice controversy by Kyle S. Roberts

 Here's a further update to Kyle S. Robert's post on the Florida Supreme Court:

On September 8, 2020, the Florida Supreme Court denied Thompson’s motion for rehearing, but granted her motion for leave to amend the Emergency Petition for Writ of Quo Warranto and Writ of Mandamus.

 The Court ordered the Governor to show cause why he should not be required immediately to fill the vacancy in office of justice of the supreme court by appointing a candidate who was on the JNC's certified list of January 23, 2020, and is now constitutionally eligible for appointment. The Governor shall respond by Wednesday, September 9, 2020.

Governor should refuse. Let the list lapse. JNC provides another list with her name. Appoint her.

10:50 Wow, I didn't know Bill Barr read this blog.

Good point, but I think that ship has sailed. The Court is likely going to order the governor to immediately appoint someone else from the list. If he doesn't comply with that order I'd imagine there will be some sanction against him from the Supreme Court.

He should take the sanction. Does't really matter, right?

Rumpole’s post on the same topic is funnier.

Rumpole funny? Not seen any evidence of that. I have seen evidence of him copying and pasting from Wikipedia though.

Why no love for Bobby Luck? Why isn't Rubio on the list? Is Moreno still on the list? People want answers!

Rumpole is the best blog around. His humor is not cut and pasted. Look at the current post what did he cut?
And No I am not Rumpole, just a reader.
