Gov. Scott requests review of 3 justices' actions
TALLAHASSEE — Three veteran Florida Supreme Court justices could possibly face a criminal investigation and legal action over the handling of their campaigns to remain on the bench.
Gov. Rick Scott, a Republican who has been critical of some of the court's past rulings, on Tuesday asked a state law-enforcement agency to decide whether to investigate the justices over their use of state employees to help finish election-related paperwork.
Meanwhile, a conservative legal group is raising questions about whether the justices may be violating ethics rules because they are raising money and urging voters to keep them on the bench.
"No man is above the law, particularly those charged with enforcing the law," said Shannon Gosseling, executive director of the Southeastern Legal Foundation.
