Florida's highest court agreed that Gov. Ron DeSantis was within his authority to suspend Scott Israel as Broward County sheriff earlier this year. The justices noted that under the Florida Constitution, the state Senate is responsible for deciding whether the removal should be permanent.
Senate leaders previously decided to first let the case go through the courts. Senate President Bill Galvano had appointed a special master to preside over a suspension hearing earlier this year. The special master announced Tuesday that a hearing has been scheduled for May 28. Israel has said DeSantis overstepped his constitutional authority and interfered with the public's right to elect their sheriff.
"With today's ruling, local elected officials now need to be aware of the potential for governor overreach when discharging their duties," Kuehne said."Political considerations that were never before a basis for suspension may now be a constitutional reality in Florida."

Supreme Court to rule whether civil rights law bans discrimination against LGBTQ employeesJUST IN: US Supreme Court says it will decide whether existing civil rights laws ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, a question that has divided the nation's lower courts. - PeteWilliamsNBC PeteWilliamsNBC Here's to hoping that the Supreme Court will side on the due process clause of the Constitution, which guarantees equal rights for all citizens, and is upheld by the 14th Amendment. PeteWilliamsNBC I hope it includes gender identity too. Many times, employers say that they can discriminate against you for undergoing reassignment because the law doesn't cover it. Even though Title 7 really should. PeteWilliamsNBC As if we don’t know how the right wing block will vote.

Should we expand the Supreme Court?Commentators say a knockdown battle over every open Supreme Court seat is demoralizing for the country and cements the perception of the court as a political body. There have been a number of Supreme Court reform proposals discussed over the years. Merrick Garland was a true American hero and his memory will live on. The precedent was set. Presidents don’t pick a Supreme Court Justice with less than a year in office. The Dems knew they would lose so that is why they are so bitter. Have a better lead in next time & maybe you won’t get a Trump. Dem Joe Biden rule was used as precedent to not confirm Garland - if you are a Dem, and a Dem makes the rule that is abided by - doesn’t get any fairer than that!

Supreme Court to decide if Trump administration can ask about citizenship in 2020 censusThe US Supreme Court hears its highest profile case of the term Tuesday — a battle over the Trump administration's plan to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census form that goes to every US household. Everyone just answer, yes. We say they can ask about citizenship once Trump proves that Obama was born in Kenya, he proves that he and his wife are citizens and turns over his tax returns that have been under “routine audit” for three years... This should actually help those sanctuary states to receive more funding , I don’t think it should be an issue. The only issue I have is voters should have an ID that shows citizenship, judicial Watch found over a million illegal votes
