No one has anointed you to interject yourself into the legal system in Florida to protect anything.

First of all, uh, I haven't "interjected" anything. I haven't actually done anything. I'm writing words on a discussion board, that's all. What else is it that you think I've done?

But anyway, you're right, no one "anointed" me to protect anything. Similarly, if I'm walking down the street and see a bandit attacking a woman, it will be true that no one "anointed" me to do anything whatsoever to protect that woman. Clearly, my state has a policing system in place to protect that woman in such a situation.

Therefore, I should... do nothing, I take it? Because after all, I'm a conservative?

I don't think your concept of conservatism is the same as mine.

Florida has a legal system in place to litigate all issues involved.

Thanks, Einstein! Any other brilliant observations?

FYI, while it is true that Florida has a "legal system", it is also true that its "legal system" (which consists of human beings) can, theoretically, be wrong, and that others (people like myself who are not part of that "legal system") are entitled to have opinions to that effect, and to voice them, to undertake to reverse those decisions, and even to place pressure on our representatives and governors to take contrary action.

There is no part of any of that which is invalid or untoward. Indeed, the website you are reading, Free Republic, was set up explicitly for the purpose of discussion of news events, such as this one, and political activism. So, that is what I am doing. I'm sorry if this confuses you but if you were under the impression that citizens are not entitled to have opinions contrary to those of the almighty Florida legal system you are simply mistaken and it is better for you to learn that sooner rather than later.

Now go ahead, tell me where I err in any of that. I fricking dare you.
