The constitutions of the U.S. and the State of Florida give the final say to the Florida Supreme Court, as far as I know, unless someone is able to convince a federal court that the U.S. Constitution was violated.

As a practical matter, every supreme court justice is nominated by a member of one of the major parties. I'm not saying that party members should have no decision-making role. But not everyone who has a party affiliation necessarily has a strong enough involvement to create a conflict of interest. Certainly if a supreme court justice took a leadership position in a political campaign, that would be questionable behavior. I don't know enough about judicial ethics rules to know if that would be grounds for impeachment or other discipline, but I certainly think that if any judge had that level of involvement, then they should recuse themselves from any case affecting the campaign they were involved with.
