....and we have found nothing in the Constitution that forbids this policy judgment.

Thus, any argument that the Florida legislature was misguided in its decision is one of legislative policy, not constitutional law. The legislature is the proper forum for this debate, and we do not sit as a superlegislature “to award by judicial decree what was not achievable by political consensus.”

Excellent, excellent news!
This is 180 degrees opposite of what Democrats want, and 180 degrees opposite of how scumbag liberal activist (Democrat) courts like the 9th Circus (and recently, with O'Connor's rapid decline, the US Supreme Court) routinely rule. Rulings like this one give me hope that the nation can still be saved.

I know, elation was my reaction too! Couldn't wait to post this. Let's hope it's not a false dawn.
