December 13, 2013132 So. 3d 135

Summary

The concurring justices reaffirmed the majority’s decision upholding the Fair Districts Amendment’s requirement for non‑partisan redistricting and advocated for an independent redistricting commission, while Justice Canady dissented, arguing that the majority’s order compelling legislative testimony violates the historic legislative privilege and the constitutional separation of powers. The opinion includes extensive discussion of the legislative privilege, discovery limits, and the merits of an independent commission, and records separate dissent and concurrence opinions.
