There is an amendment on the ballot that I am unsure about. Will you give me some jelly opinions?

I live in FL, USA.

Here it is:

NO. 3 CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT ARTICLE V, SECTIONS 10, 11
Prospective Appointment of Certain Judicial Vacancies
Proposing an amendment to the State Constitution requiring the Governor to prospectively fill vacancies in a judicial office to which election for retention applies resulting from the justice’s or judge’s reaching the mandatory retirement age or failure to qualify for a retention election; and allowing prospective appointments if a justice or judge is not retained at an election. Currently, the Governor may not fill an expected vacancy until the current justice’s or judge’s term expires.

What do you think? Pros and cons and how you would vote.
