					<description><![CDATA[The Florida Supreme Court will hear oral argument in the case against Gov. Rick Scott over whether he has the authority to appoint three new justices on the last day of his term. The court on Friday set argument for 9 a.m. Nov. 1. For now, the matter will be heard by the court&#8217;s seven justices, including the three—R. Fred Lewis, Barbara Pariente and Peggy A. Quince—whose age-required retirements occasioned the suit. Court spokesman Craig Waters said any process for justices to recuse themselves would&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday was ordered to file a written response to a lawsuit claiming she forces businesses to donate millions of dollars to unregistered charities as part of settlements in consumer protection cases. Circuit Judge Charles Dodson, sitting in Tallahassee, also granted a request from Orlando entrepreneur John D. Smith to seek &#8220;discovery&#8221; in the case—that is, to get information from Bondi&#8217;s office in preparation for a possible trial. Smith filed a petition for a “writ of quo warranto,” which demand&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[When Gov. Rick Scott appointed a conservative jurist to the state&#8217;s Supreme Court in December, he made clear he wasn&#8217;t done. “I will appoint three more justices the morning I finish my term,” he said, referring to the mandatory retirement in early 2019 of the court&#8217;s liberal-leaning triumvirate of Justices Barbara Pariente, Peggy A. Quince and R. Fred Lewis. Now, two progressive organizations are saying to Scott: Prove you can. They say he can&#8217;t. The League of Women Voters of Florida (LWVF)&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Attorney General Pam Bondi’s office this week responded to a lawsuit claiming she forces businesses to pony up millions of dollars to unregistered charities as part of settlements in consumer protection cases. Deputy Solicitor General Jonathan L. Williams, writing on Bondi’s behalf, said in part that some of the organizations criticized by Orlando entrepreneur John D.

					<description><![CDATA[Gov. Rick Scott won&#8217;t be able to appoint a new judge for the Palm Beach County court, the Florida Supreme Court decided Friday. The unanimous decision means Palm Beach voters get to pick a replacement for outgoing County Judge Laura Johnson. She resigned to run for a circuit judgeship. The court relied on its previous decisions to rule that state law &#8220;is an exception to the Governor’s (constitutional) power of appointment in the context of judicial vacancies.&#8221; Normally, state constitutions trump state statutes.
