The League of Women Voters of Florida v. the Florida House of Representatives, Respondents Rene Ro — Canady, J…

Summary

Justice Canady, dissenting, would have approved the First District Court of Appeal's decision protecting legislators from compelled interrogation about their legislative activities. He reasoned that the legislative privilege is grounded in common law and separation of powers, is not abolished by Florida's Evidence Code, and was not displaced by the redistricting amendment. Justices Perry and Labarga, concurring, agreed with the majority's limited-discovery approach but emphasized voter intent and, for Perry, consideration of an independent redistricting commission.
