League of Women Voters of Florida, Petitioner(s) v. Rick Scott

Summary

The court held that the constitutional phrase requiring judicial nominating commission nominations "within thirty days from the occurrence of a vacancy" establishes a deadline and does not bar the commission from beginning or completing its work before the vacancy occurs. Because the commission could act before the vacancies and there was no impediment to reopening applications, the court denied the requested writ relief except as provided in its prior order.
