I agree with your comment on this but up to a point. The legislature had NO RIGHT whatsoever to step in and over ride a courts decision that had been in the courts over a period of 10 years and passed by 15+ judges desks.

Well, if you're going to make this argument based in "Florida LAW," then it seems perfectly appropriate that the Florida Legislature has a perfect right to change "Florida LAW" when it sees fit to do so.

Yes they do have that right but not when a verdict is rendered. Remember again I say Florida election fiasco? You cannot play by the rule of law with one instance and then not the next. This was passed on the cuff WITHOUT sifting through the 10 years of legal documents nor reviewing the case this was passed based SOLELY on emotion and from pressure by out of state activists. This is NOT how you pass law. This precedence is fanatical and not good policy. What is the next right that will be hi-jacked by the legislature because it is seen as unpopular? This was an overnight off the cuff law that should not have been passed. Most of the activists out there hadn't picked up one court paper to review the case and its history, much like the legislature.
