In Re Senate Joint Resolution of Legislative Apportionment 2-B — Pariente, J., Concurring

Summary

Justice Pariente concurred in the conclusion that the revised Senate redistricting plan had not been shown to violate the Florida Constitution. Her concurrence explains that strict time limits, legislative control of the process, and the Amendment's intent-based standard impede meaningful enforcement of the voters' command against partisan favoritism. She urged consideration of longer review periods, an independent redistricting commission, and possible revision of the intent standard.
