The League of Women Voters of Florida, Petitioners v. Data Targeting, Inc., Resp — Polston, J…

Summary

In a dissent, Chief Justice Polston argues that the Florida Supreme Court lacks jurisdiction to entertain an all‑writs petition concerning an interlocutory evidentiary dispute because the all‑writs provision is not an independent source of jurisdiction. The dissent contends that the majority’s reliance on speculative future appellate review is improper. A concurring opinion by Justice Lewis counters, asserting that the Court may appropriately exercise all‑writs jurisdiction to preserve the status quo in this urgent matter. Both opinions focus on the constitutional limits and proper use of the Court’s all‑writs power.
