I'm convinced the Florida Supreme Court thinks we're idiots.

I guess we have a "half-win" today with the Court. That's a half-empty glass to me.

They ruled that state constitution's right to privacy does not protect abortion. They've moved successfully moved the goalpost on what the right to privacy means. When the right to privacy is not explicitly written, the argument is "the right of privacy isn't in the constitution so you don't have a right to abortion." When the right to privacy is explicitly written, the argument is "the right to privacy doesn't say anything about abortion."

They also ruled, BY THE SLIMMEST FUCKING MARGIN in a 4-3 vote, that the abortion amendment can go on the ballot. Abortion rights won by the slimmest margin to get the proposed amendment on the ballot. Such a slim margin is fucking wild to me! I'll take the win. It didn't need to be a landslide. It's just kind of mind-boggling that it was that close to failure because *checks notes* they didn't think the ballot summary sufficiently explained the amendment.

DeSantis-appointee Justice Francis wrote what I believe to be the dumbest opinion I've ever read. I'm glad it's a dissenting opinion.

1. If this pro abortion petition passes they will do what they did with the one where felons who have served their

Prison sentences can now vote. They overruled that one and ex felons still didn't get their voting rights reinstated. I don’t trust anything coming out of Florida nowadays.

2. Florida will flip to blue in November.

3. I hope you're right..

I’m expecting Florida to do to the voters what Ohio did when the voters approved overwhelmingly their choice on abortion votes. We’re gonna have to wait and see if our votes count and are respected

5. We're gonna have to do a little better than Ohio. They didn't require 60% of voters to vote 'yes'

4. You are far more optimistic than I am.
