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.
They can't take it off the ballot, as it had way, way more than the required signatures, but they can intimidate every person who signed it into not voting by sending cops to their home.
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.
It's pretty cool when your governor can send people to come get you. Come on, Ronnie. Let's have some pudding, you little bitch. You're out of power in 2027. Let's dance.
The guy supposedly won by like 15 points a few years ago (after barely winning previously). I know it's unbelievable (along with Abbott's fairly big win in Texas while killing people with power outages). But either they're rigging elections (more projection, what a surprise!), or massive numbers of deplorables are flooding the state (and/or sane people are escaping).
That said, fuck 'em. This kind of pathetic, cruel, lawless behavior will continue escalating until there are real consequences. Wish we had a ruthless DOJ to harass them back at every step.
Fun fact its legal to just own a flame thrower in the US without a license or anything.
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.
Just when I think this rat fucker can't get any lower, he proves me wrong.
Hey now! No self respecting live rat would fuck that guy. Call him out for the necrophilia/rape too!
Good thing Florida is the stand your ground state
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?
Good luck with that. Reminds me of the people who say they need guns to protect themselves from the government. They aren’t wrong, but they very much are.
Based on what rule of law? Can whoever sent the police be sued?
What are you going to do? Call the police?
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.
Can the US please just decide if it wants to be a theocracy or not. Please can it be not.
This sudo religious fascist state, but also kind of not really, is really tiring on everyone else.
It's written "pseudo", a prefix in old Greek meaning fake (as in pseudopod). "sudo" is a Linux command to run a command or script as another user.
Oh the not really part is getting removed in November if the maga party gets in the white house
Reminds me of the county in Florida that sends police to your door daily if they dont like you, or your family.
Buh buh buh what happened to letting the people choose
Power to the states, not their people.
