[[Liberal]]s favor the nomination to the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] of Lagoa rather than [[Amy Barrett]], and only 15 [[Democrat]]s voted against Lagoa's nomination to the [[Eleventh Circuit]].  The [[liberal media]] quickly began running glowing stories about Lagoa to boost her chances.<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/20/florida-republicans-lagoa-trump-419109</ref>

=== Judicial record ===

The bulk of Judge Lagoa's opinions were as an appellate judge in Florida.  Among roughly 450 decisions she wrote from that bench, only one was related to [[abortion]].  In that case the estate of a victim of an abortion sued a cruise liner which did not perform the abortion.  In a decision from which it is virtually impossible to infer her views about legalized abortion, Judge Lagoa held in part for the shipowner, and in part for the estate of the victim.  ''See'' ''Flueras v. Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd.'', 69 So. 3d 1101 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2011).
