How about legislatures make the law and not the courts??

In this case, the people made the law: it was a State Constitution amendment voted and approved by the people.

And if I recall correctly... yes: the Attorney General is required to defend that by virtual of her oath of office:

Section 5(b), Art. II, State Const., provides as follows: "Each state and county officer, before entering upon the duties of the office, shall give bond as required by law, and shall swear or affirm:

'I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support, protect, and defend the Constitution and Government of the United States and of the State of Florida; that I am duly qualified to hold office under the Constitution of the state; and that I will well and faithfully perform the duties of (title of office) on which I am now about to enter. So help me God.',
