LOL...the rule of law? Hardly.

Unlike Jeb Bush, I can read, you see.

Florida Constitution
Article One, Section Two

Basic rights.--All natural persons, female and male alike, are equal before the law and have inalienable rights, among which are the right to enjoy and defend life and liberty, to pursue happiness, to be rewarded for industry, and to acquire, possess and protect property; except that the ownership, inheritance, disposition and possession of real property by aliens ineligible for citizenship may be regulated or prohibited by law. No person shall be deprived of any right because of race, religion, national origin, or physical disability.

As I’m not familiar with the Florida constitution I didn’t touch that and only addressed the US Constitution, on which I think you’re wrong in the way you’ve framed your argument, though again not on how I feel the decision should have come down.

You may well be right on the Florida constitution, but that doesn’t change the fact that the Florida courts disagreed and that constitutes due process. The fact that the Florida constitution doesn’t use the phrase “due process” in this clause may be an argument, but the courts didn’t find that. It would be interesting to find out if any of the lawyers arguing the case raised that argument.
