It's high past time time we had a general thrad for all the idiocy my state shits out. So here we go. First of all the Florida court system has ruled that it is acceptable for officials to restrict civilians from giving food to the homeless. Luckily, in a valiant attempt to prove that not all people from this state are arseholes,
Food Not Bombs have declared that they will continue to do so anyway.
Next, the Florida legislature have declared that
church and state are not separate. Needless to say it's pretty clear that none of them have heard of a trivial little detail called the First Amendment, and it is completely inevitable that this will end up being fought in court, almost certainly at the taxpayers' expense.
The Florida legislature aren't the only ones who want to violate the constitution on the taxpayers' expense, because Rick Scott has declared his intention to drug test literally everyone who works for the state government four times a year, despite the fact that this is a very clear violation of the Fourth Amendment. This comes on the heels of his announcement that everyone in the state who receives welfare will also be drug tested. It would be class warfare to point out that his wife
owns and operates a drug testing clinic, so I won't. Scott has announced that challenges to this manoeuvre will be fielded entirely at taxpayer expense.
So there's a little taste of what the three branches of the Florida state government have been up to. There is not a one of them that does not deserve to be completely dismantled.
