    I assume they’re trying to take this off the ballot because they know it’s going to increase turnout for the Dems. The majority of Floridians are not down with the abortion ban.

        That guy is an ecological disaster in control of a fuckload of land. I hope he dies and Floridians get a clue to make better choices.

        What’s going on with PBCs!? Over on the other side of the slab the younger generation loves the game and the older set hate the noise.

          Somebody leaked his plans to put up hotels and pickle ball courts, etc. in state parks and people took that personally, especially because they were no-bid contracts. Basically everyone told DeSantis to fuck off with this plan, which he tried to distance himself from while simultaneously firing the whistleblower.

      Actually, this can be good for the Republicans. The pro-life crowd is a minority, but also the biggest, most reliable single-issue voting block.

      Having it as a ballot initiative lets pro-choice Republicans vote to end the ban while the GOP still panders to the pro-life voters.

      That depends on the state. States with fire problems, such as California, have extra restrictions. And since it’s not a firearm, ironically, the Constitution can’t protect it.

      Oh no police are always an exception. After all if they don’t have the right to shoot people for whatever reason they want to make up, how are they ever supposed to be able to do their job of a opressing people?

        lol

        Civil disobedience is a valid tool in a state with rule of law. If it’s a failing state where law is applied selectively, you jump ship or you buy protection, where the latter route can get really expensive and isn’t a guarantee.

        The power exchanges in Stalins USSR show that no one was ever safe, including the key committee members. So people who want to create a fascist regime of some sort will be in for a rude awakening when they find that their money only goes so far.

        Edit the movie Death of Stalin is not a serious historical perspective, but it shows a lot of the dangers of creating conditions for a police state

      The same people who sent the police already have Corrupt Clarence and Treason Flag Alito to create an original interpretation of the First Amendment for this one.
