Gov. Ron DeSantis used secretive panel to flip Florida’s Supreme Court
- Florida Governor Ron DeSantis successfully remade the state's Supreme Court from liberal-leaning to a conservative supermajority through an unconventional process that included the help of a secretive judicial panel led by Leonard Leo, the key architect of the U.S. Supreme Court's conservative majority.
- DeSantis appointed three new justices in his first two weeks in office, flipping the court from a 4-3 liberal majority to a 6-1 conservative advantage. He also handpicked his own stalwarts after two justices appointed by past Republicans stepped down and took jobs with allies of the governor.
