A look at the nine amendments on Florida's ballot

There are nine proposed amendments to our state Constitution on this November's ballot. Nine! That's gonna take some reading in the voting booth.

Some people blame it on all those citizen petitions going around. That's why the Legislature has tried to crack down on petitions in recent years.

But wait. Of this year's nine amendments, only three were proposed by petition. Six were placed on the ballot by the Legislature itself.

Ready?

Amendment 9 is the Republican Legislature's answer to the health care bill passed by the Democratic Congress. The reason I called it a "futile gesture" is that it says that Floridians cannot be required to take part in "any health care system." But federal law remains the boss.

OBAMA’s OIL-TRINA

(Good thing he’s taking full responsibility for this fiasco, and won’t rest until it’s fixed, etc. etc.)

obummer said so in his speach, you know, that some of his powers are absolute.... Just imagine if W had uttered those same words back in 2001 - the LSM would still be using them against him.
