They are just jumping on the bandwagon. There is a concerted effort by all the tea party groups in this state to oust them and has been going on for months now. This will add some prominence to the issue but the former justices mentioned were also booted out because of a similar campaign.

It’s high time for judges to be ousted for their ridiculous rulings.

If the case in question was 9 years ago then why didn’t the Florida GOP oppose them the last time they were up for retention? What’s the real reason for the opposition?

In general any time there's an election of any kind you should use it to get rid of judges you don't like, or keep out shyster lawyers you don't like either, and to boot the appointing politicians out if they put those guys in there.
The judiciary and justice are best served with a high turnover rate on the bench!

When judges act like legislators, they should face the same risk as legislators. The case cited isn't a case of guilt vs. innocence, but a case of how much the deck was not stacked in favor of the criminal.

Because....
They believe the votes will get behind this.
They believe this will bring more votes to the GOP ticket.
To: Delhi Rebels
See post #2. Maybe that is the answer.

Good. While the left likes to portray the judiciary as “apolitical”, nothing could be further from the truth.

Unfortunately, a number of these liberal judges have been appointed by Republican governors over the years
Regardless of the party...we seem to get liberal Florida Supreme Court Justices. And, judging by the way he has supported the Black Racist groups in the George Zimmerman case...looks like Rick Scott will be picking more liberal justices.
I vote “no” on every judicial election, but it just seems we keep getting the same liberals

Most of you have no idea what you're talking about!
These three judges are the worst of the worst....
..Lewis and Pariente were appointed by Democrat Lawton Chiles...and Quince was appointed by Jeb Bush (supposedly because she had already been appointed & was in the vetting process when Bush arrived, and he didn't want to stop the process)

It’s about time they took a stand. I always vote “No.”
To: Delhi Rebels
pretty sure it has to do with the fact that these 3 justices ruled against nationalized healthcare being on the ballot for the PEOPLE to vote down.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
I always have voted no on retaining judges I think they should have terms and then go back to the real world they have helped mold.
