This is a thread to consolidate all of the commentary on the Florida message board concerning the Constitutional Amendments up for ratification on November 2nd. Please keep this thread focused on the amendments but feel free to start other discussion threads. Help us all make informed decisions on election day!

Actually, my humble opinion is to vote NO on all amendments except #6. These things do NOT belong in a State constitution. They should be simple pieces of legislation, not constitutional amendments. The constitution is supposed to be the document that determines how we will govern ourselves. What does a bullet train or parental notification or supervising the medical profession have to do with that?
Crud. I know I'm posting too late. But everyone should definitely vote to retain the two Florida Supreme Court Justices, Cantero & Bell. They have already made a big, conservative impact, when combining their vote with Wells & they can scrounge a 4th vote.
As for DCA judges, I recommend just voting no on all of them. They are always retained at about the 70% level, and I think it's good to show them that they should be at least a little bit accountable to the public. And they've undoubtedly written some opinions you wouldn't agree with.
Actually I would suggest voting no on Amendment 3. I have already talked to a number of Medical Malpractice lawyers and they just say they will now file two more cases to make up for the reduction in revenues.
Amendment 3 gives a "value" to you life which an insurance company can set a calculated price upon.
I am not a Medical Malpractice Lawyer but it is very clear this amendment screams unintended consequences.
If nothing else, look at the proponents and opponents - that's a big clue.
I have my list ready to go - the cc guide gives a short rundown of some of the candidates in FL districts - enjoy!
I don't think lawyers will be able to make up the revenue. This ammendment will favor settlements.
vote early n often bro!!!!!!1
Yes, but that was "already posted" 10 days AFTER this thread. So what's your point?
All amendments will pass, except 4, which is too close to call.
