What are the chances that the Florida Supreme Court screws us and keeps abortion and Marijuana off the ballot on some technicality? 90%? 95%?
I expect marijuana goes on the ballot. Abortion is uncertain. There looked to be three votes for (Canady, Labarga, and Couriel), three votes against (Grosshans, Sasso, and Francis), and one vote that was off in his own world on fetal personhood (Muniz).
Unfortunately, they should only be ruling on the legality of the TEXT of the amendment, not the subject matter itself. We know how that will go though.
So ridiculous. For the past 10 years I feel like I've had to read every amendment 5 times to try and figure out what I'm actually voting for but now THESE they have a problem with.
It's totally absurd and brazenly political. I recall either Grosshans or Francis asking about the incredible breadth of the abortion right, and then one of the male Republicans (Canady, Muniz, or Couriel) jumped in and was like, "Yeah, but that's not confusing! You know that's the case, so why shouldn't we leave it to the voters to decide?" I generally dislike those three, but to their credit, they at least weren't insulting the rest of us by pretending that the AG's arguments weren't idiotic. Not liking the outcome if the voters approve the amendment doesn't make it misleading or confusing. That said, don't get me started on Muniz's fetal personhood crap.
DeSantis and Florida Legislature proving the superior Christian virtue by commissioning a study to create hatred of immigrants and the lying when it shows the opposite
Good read my wife forwarded to me. I don't know if it's been posted on the thread previously. But it talks about the fact that while Florida has many people moving in, it has nearly as many moving out. Property and car insurance costs, above average inflation, and a hostile political environment, including an all too well armed citizenry, constantly hostile and challenging to even middle of the road Republican, make it less than a paradise for way too many. They came for Florida's sun and sand. They got soaring costs and a culture war.
One wonders if the deficit in hospitalization cost created by non-payers would be, at least somewhat, alleviated had Medicare been extended - a measure that Florida declined. I have no idea* if that would be the case - just wondering *Personal expertise is currently limited to virology, public health, Dominion voting machines, the NWO, the metallurgy of salt water structures - and care of wounds created by non-compliant bears.

you think anyone has the stones to tell him that both things can be true at the same time? people leaving in droves people coming in droves ++ lots of people coming makes us #1 in net migration. of course, he doesn't count the tens of thousands of undocumented that have left the state and left fields unplanted for lack of labor, roofs wanting, restaurants scrambling for help, maid jobs left vacant etc. all these things can be true at the same time, even if a meme doesn't understand it
Just sad what a hateful place DeSantis and his ilk are making this state. So much for live and let live. Florida’s Anti-Trans Bathroom Law Spurs Harrowing Vigilante Attacks
