Florida Enemies
They say that Florida is a representative democracy. But given that their election offices are like the proverbial gang that couldn't shoot straight, are any of its officers duly elected? Jeb Bush is Governor. We THINK he won the election to that office. That is true of ALL elected officials in Florida, we BELIEVE they won! Didn't they?
This is the state that gave us Janet Reno. Janet Reno was the Dade County Prosecutor who was famous for her aggressiveness in enforcing Florida's child support peonage system. So much so that she is celebrated in song for this role: Janet Reno by 2 Live Crew, or look then up on their Unofficial Site.
The Department of Revenue operates the Child Support Services, its Enforcement Information page admits peonage.
Article I Section 2 of the Florida Constitution declares the inalienable rights of all persons, including the right to be rewarded for industry and to acquire, possess, and protect property.
Article I Section 8 of the Florida Constitution declares the right of the people to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves and the lawful authority of the state with a mandatory three day waiting period for purchase of handguns not applicable to holders of concealed weapons permits.
Article I Section 9 of the Florida Constitution is the state Due Process Clause.
Article I Section 11 of the Florida Constitution prohibits imprisonment for debt except in cases of fraud. I guess child support is a fraud.
Article I Section 17 of the Florida Constitution prohibits excessive fines and bails, cruel and unusual punishments, indefinite imprisonment, and unreasonable detention of witnesses.
