The GOP controlled the Florida House and Senate, they refused to uphold the law by impeaching the scofflaw SCOFL justices. They could've impeached the legal anarchists on the Supreme Court. They didn't, so they SCOFFLAWs were available for further mischief against the GOP.
The GOP doesn't defend itself and its legal rights. They certainly don't defend their voters. What good are they?
At the state level we can thank the Reynolds v. Sims Scotus decision, which unconstitutionally forced the equivalent of the 17th Amendment on state Senates.
