“The stitch in time that saved nine” is the name given to what was perceived as the sudden jurisprudential shift by Associate Justice Owen J. Roberts of the U.S. Supreme Court in West Coast Hotel Co. v. Parrish. Conventional historical accounts portrayed the Court's majority opinion as a strategic political move to protect the Court's integrity and independence from President Roosevelt's court-reform bill (known as the "court-packing plan"), which would have expanded the size of the bench up to 15 justices.
Sounds like Speaker Cannon in FL hasn't read this case with the proposed HJR of HB 7111 to reform the FL Supreme Court to 10 Justices; 5 for Civil Cases (3 of which Gov. Scott would appoint) and 5 to Criminal Cases, of which 5 serving Justices would fulfill. This will be a hugh mis-justice to all Floridians if this bill passes through the House. Call you Senators and encourage them NOT to support a companion bill to HB 7111.
