I don’t know that it’s necessarily an improvement, but the FL Supreme Court now has only 3 of 7 Justices who were on the court in 2000. That WAS 12 years ago! The Chief Justice is the only Jeb Bush appointee now sitting on the court; the other 3 were appointed by Crist.
You are right, that never even occurred to me that they would be different judges...good point!
