[Case name and date] Bush vs. Holmes, 1/5/06 [Case summary] Then-Gov. Jeb Bush’s education voucher program that allowed students attending low-performing schools to go to private school was challenged on the basis that it violated the constitutional mandate for a "uniform system of free public schools" by diverting state funds to private schools. [Ruling] 5-2. Pariente, Lewis and Quince sided with majority. [What majority said] Court ruled the voucher program was unconstitutional because it reduced state funds for public schools while diverting state funds to private schools that are not subject to the “uniformity” requirements that public schools abide by. [Impact on merit retention] 
People who are hoping to get these justices removed from court have used this case as an example of judicial activism. Bush and other conservatives were unhappy with this ruling that ended a voucher program they championed.
