The Florida Supreme Court now has three women on the bench for the first time.
DeSantis in 2019 replaced three liberal-leaning justices with conservatives, swinging the balance of the court, which for years had stood as an obstacle to some of the conservative policies pushed by Republicans who controlled the Legislature and governor's mansion.
DeSantis said Sasso's"fidelity to the Constitution will help preserve freedom in our state for generations to come," adding that she"understands the importance of our constitutional system and the rule of law." “Appropriate deference to coordinate branches is not a matter of courtesy; it is essential for the people’s chosen representatives to operate,” Sasso wrote. “Likewise, judicial decisions are not the only available solution to problems. When judges step outside their role, they often justify it by claiming an altruistic purpose of correcting a perceived injustice. But as judges, we should honor both our defined role and the overall system in which we operate.
