Toby Bogorff, Petitioner(s) v. Rick Scott

Summary

Justice Lewis, dissenting, argued that the Governor's veto could not constitutionally prevent payment of final judgments awarding just compensation for government destruction of private property. He maintained that the litigation concerned only enforcement of final judgments, not the merits or amount of compensation, and that withholding payment rendered the constitutional right to compensation meaningless. Justice Pariente, concurring, would dismiss the petition because the requested invalidation of the veto was not legally available in that proceeding, while recognizing that the constitutional challenge to the statutory payment procedure remained ripe and pending below.
